Pete had the raw skills to adapt to whatever the game is today.

She's fun to watch.

Reminds me of Pete Maravich as far as putting on a show for the fans.

Very true. Jackie Stiles who grew up not far from where I live in Claflin, KS, it was said, would shoot jump shots until she made five hundred of them, not just shoot, but make. I had the privilege of watching her play for a state championship against the Little River Redskins. Jackie got her points, but Little River won the championship. I look at Caitlen Clark and I see God Himself personified in the form of a lady basketball player. At 63 I’m not sure I will see this level of talent in a basketball player again in my lifetime, man or woman.

“Quit being a snowflake.”

Quit being an a-hole. Nothing I said has anything to do with being a snowflake.

Women’s basketball doesn’t get national press all too often. Clark has been covered so much the last couple years people who don’t follow sports at all know who she is.

And you whine about unnamed black players who get more coverage, so yes, you’re an easily offended snowflake.

The UConn Huskies' 6'4" Rebecca Lobo was a dominant straight white female at the time, and she got plenty of press at the time, and professional opportunities after.

Since he's dead and gone, we'll never really know for sure will we?

So anything else is just fodder for conversation.......

You probably never heard of Caitlin Clark because she is a white, heterosexual, Catholic athlete.

You keep proving my point: Nothing I said has anything to do with being a snowflake.

You’re certainly easily offended at the thought of a white person not getting the same press as a black person and whining about it, even though lark has gotten an awful lot of attention.

Snowflaky.

Your point is somewhat moot because Lobo is partly hispanic (Cuban) - although heavily Spanish in background. Her DNA breakdown is online (overwhelmingly European but she looks more hispanic than white) . And she’s 51 this year. That means her college career ended almost 30 years ago. It was a different world then.

Your posts on race are laughably silly.

In other words, you have no argument.

We both know that.
