Why Did Caitlin Clark Decide To Not Participate In WNBA's 3-Point Contest? | 7/19/24

A minute with Dan Patrick is better than an hour in ESPN.

CC is not a circus act. You nailed it, if she loses the hate will be non-stop. She has a high IQ and is above the nonsense.

If anyone wants to know. 2 days ago before or after a game, Caitlin was asked about the 3 point contest and Caitlin said no one from the WNBA had contacted her. Other players on the Orange carpet mentioned they were asked late to be in skills contest. The NBA by comparison starts the process much earlier for getting their players to show up for skills and 3 point contest. So, the WNBA dropped the ball and never reached out until the last minute. Dan is probably correct though, she wanted to let other player have some air time.

It was a wise decision.

Smart. If they don’t wanna give her respect why should she be their show pony. She already does enough

Because they didn't even invite her until Thursday.

No matter what CC does she'll have those haters. She's only contracted to the All Star Game. She's wise in her choice.

What does CC have to prove? Nothing. Only halfway through the W season and she [Caitlin] already has established lofty records.

She answered the question in today’s presser. She said she wanted a break and also wanted to take in the experience of being at the All Star event. Said she was thrilled about playing tomorrow night and especially about being coached by Cheryl Miller. Then she’s going to unplug her phone and take a week or so to decompress.

Caitlin commented when the All-Star roster was announced that she hoped the hype would be for all the women on both teams rather just her or Angel and the so called rivalry and them being on the same team. So her turning down 3 point contest was no surprise to me. I would also not be surprised if she takes a back seat during the game and only focuses on getting her teammates the ball in positions to score.

She needs a day off! Win NCAA championship, STR8 in Wnba draft, STR8 into Wnba season, 12 games in 20 STR8 days 400 points 200 assists breaking records

How about she skips the three point contest to teach wnba a lesson and give them a wake up call..meaning "without me on any of your agendas, no one will watch."

CC should go home , be around good people, and relax.

You are saying because she is a rookie she has to do the 3-point contest, come on. She sold out just about every game she has played in, she spends time with the kids signing before and after every game and you still expect her to do more for promoting the game. Have you forgot the ridiculous playing schedule the Fever has had. She can say no and she does not have to justify her reasons to you even though you are curious.

Heard she was asked to take a backseat and give other players time in the sun instead of high jacking the whole weekend and all the attention being on her.... Would the NBA even consider that with Jordan? They wanted to grow the brand.

She confirmed today that she just needs rest. Makes sense!

Reese didn't show up to orange carpet because she wasn't getting paid ROFL.

It's a damn if you do damn if you dont but if the league refuses to acknowledge her. They can't use her when its convenient. Then other times crap on her or not give recognition. Let them promote the other women.

Who would be hurt most by losing the 3 pt contest. That question gives you the answer.

mac mcclung looks crazy when he dunks.. probably one of the best looking dunkers
