00:00No, no text messages, nothing. Nobody reached out.

00:04This was the reaction of Katelyn Clark when the news reporter asked about her latest historic

00:09triple-double. Does this mean people hate her? Let's take a deeper look into what's

00:14happening with Katelyn Clark.

00:17Katelyn Clark has achieved things on a basketball court that nobody else has ever done before.

00:23She's accomplished even more, faster and better than anyone before her.

00:28Known for her triples, Clark doubled down last Saturday and recorded the WNBA's first

00:33ever triple-double by a rookie. When she grabbed her 10th rebound to complete the historic

00:38triple-double, Clark was met with a roar from the crowd.

00:42The league has seen just 35 triple-doubles in its 27 seasons and currently just four

00:48in its 28th season. No player wearing an Indiana Fever jersey had ever recorded a triple-double

00:54until Clark, who has now accomplished this feat just 22 games into her professional career.

01:00Through her first 22 games in the league, Clark has reached double figures in scoring

01:0518 times. She's tallied 10 or more assists four times and grabbed double-digit rebounds

01:11three times. She was one rebound shy of a triple-double earlier in the season against

01:17the Phoenix Mercury, scoring 15 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and completing 12 assists.

01:24She now has three consecutive double-doubles with points and assists, the longest such

01:29streak by a rookie in league history. She also finds herself sixth on the WNBA's all-time

01:34list for total assists by a rookie. Her 162 assists also happen to be the best assist

01:41total in the league this season.

01:43Clark's ability to break and set records at a seemingly unsustainable pace is rooted

01:48in her competitive nature. It's that drive to be the best that motivates her to keep

01:53getting better. However, despite Caitlyn breaking records, some people still hate her.

01:59After becoming the first rookie ever to record a triple-double in a WNBA game, the congratulatory

02:05messages seem to reach her after a delay. News 8's Angela Morian asked the all-star

02:11what the reaction was like on her phone and social media postgame. Her reply was,

02:16No text messages, nothing, Clark said with a straight face. This shows a clear hatred

02:21for her. We've never seen a generational talent like Caitlyn Clark be this polarizing

02:26figure in sports early in a career. You might combat that statement by mentioning a guy

02:31like LeBron James, who has a significant number of haters, but the majority of those haters

02:37also have a great deal of respect for him. His hatred was built up over time.

02:42When it comes to Caitlyn Clark, there has been a lot of hate and disrespect from the

02:46very beginning. Fans will be fans and say whatever they want, whether it's based on

02:50facts or opinions, but when former and current players pile on as well, you have to stop

02:56and evaluate the situation. You don't have to like Caitlyn Clark or her playstyle, but

03:01you definitely have to recognize and acknowledge what she's done for the game of women's

03:06basketball. No other college athlete in the past 25 years has transcended their sport

03:11like Clark has. Women's college basketball is at its peak in popularity right now, and

03:17that's largely due to Clark. As Dawn Staley said, after the national championship, Clark

03:22is undisputedly one of the greatest of all time in the sport, but not everyone likes

03:27to hear that. So, let us briefly go over some of the responses from the legends of women's

03:33basketball to Caitlyn's play on the court.

03:36Cheryl Swoopes tried to invalidate her scoring record with incorrect statements. Diana Taurasi

03:42sent a warning to Clark about her future in the WNBA. Brianna Stewart said Clark needed

03:47a championship to be considered an all-time great, and Lynette Woodard said Clark didn't

03:52break her scoring record because Clark didn't play with men's basketball and without a three-point

03:57line. These are four legends in women's basketball who refuse to uplift someone who has helped

04:03change the game. Instead, they're nitpicking her legacy.

04:08Clark, on the other hand, is quick to acknowledge the groundwork that was laid before her. So

04:13why do so many people disrespect Caitlyn Clark? Is it a race thing? Or is it about comparing

04:18Caitlyn with legends? Or do people think she's too overrated? Let's sit down and answer some

04:23of these questions.

04:25Is it a race thing? Whether people want to admit it or not, almost everything in this

04:29country can be boiled down to race and the privilege that white Americans benefit from

04:34that African Americans historically don't. Especially considering the legends that Caitlyn

04:39is being compared to and even placed ahead of are predominantly African American women,

04:44as well as the two teams she's faced in the national title in consecutive years were led

04:48by predominantly African American women, rosters and faces. With all that being said, we do

04:54think that she unfairly became the face of an online race war that she didn't ask for.

04:59She doesn't speak negatively about anybody and isn't disrespectful, but somehow she has

05:04become the lightning rod of race debates on Twitter by merely being great at basketball.

05:10The hate she has received is misplaced. If it's not race, is it because her name is in

05:15conversations with all time greats? Listen, you always have to respect the legends that

05:21came before you. These are the words of Caitlyn Clark. All the greats like Maya Moore, Cheryl

05:27Swoopes, Lynette Woodard, Brianna Stewart, Diana Taurasi and many other names have set

05:33the foundation, but a foundation is created to be built upon. Caitlyn has a talent we've

05:39never seen before, she's producing numbers that we've never seen before and, quite frankly,

05:44she's playing with less talent than a lot of these names. We can't deny her greatness.

05:49She's broken nearly every scoring record in the sport. Let's not penalise her for a team

05:54award in college when she's proven her greatness. It's annoying to see greats like Cheryl Swoopes,

06:00Lynette Woodard, Diana Taurasi and Brianna Stewart not embrace Clark for what she's done.

06:06When somebody is breaking records and being compared to icons that we grew up watching

06:10and generations before us saw build a sport to prominence, there will always be some sort

06:15of pushback against new names being thrown in the conversation. When somebody comes along

06:20who surpasses the iconic names of the past, it will inevitably lead to some uncomfortable

06:25conversations and possibly even over-the-top hate. If it's not about the greats, then is

06:31it because you think she's overrated or overhyped? We just don't get how you can call her overrated.

06:37She just averaged 32, 7, 9 with every defence keying in on her. She's a talent we've never

06:43seen before in the women's game, she's brought attention to the game like nobody else. Like

06:48Dawn Staley said, she's one of the greatest to ever play. All the record-breaking television

06:53ratings included games revolving around Caitlin Clark. Sure she doesn't have a ring, but that

06:58doesn't take away from what she's done for the game and what she's produced on the court.

07:03We honestly think she is appropriately rated. Whether you think she is the GOAT is your

07:08own prerogative, but she has forced her way into the conversation and is not out of place.

07:14The NCAA's all-time leading scorer for men's and women's basketball as well as one of the

07:19greatest passers we have seen, means she belongs in the conversation. If you recognise

07:25her greatness while also believing somebody like Breanna Stewart, Maya Moore or Candice

07:30Parker is better, you're not wrong at all. Like Caitlin said, you need to respect the

07:36legends and also support the young talents. This is what the WNBA needed.
