A’ja Wilson gets to 30 like it’s routine with 14–16 free throws a game.
Meanwhile, Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are out there earning their buckets without living at the free-throw line.
More respect to Kelsey and Caitlin. 👏🏽
Caitlin Clark fans are now trashing Aliyah Boston all over X.
They say that she sucks and that she is overpaid.
Let me tell you about Aliyah Boston.
She was an All-Star BEFORE Caitlin Clark was drafted.
Caitlin Clark sat out the 2025 WNBA season.
Aliyah received the following honors IN HER ABSENCE:
All-Star Starter
All-WNBA 2nd Team
WNBA All-Defensive Team 2nd Team
6th in voting for WNBA MVP
Led the Fever to within ONE GAME of the WNBA Finals.
I repeat: WITHOUT Caitlin Clark!!
—————————————————-
Aliyah Boston IS NOT the PROBLEM!!!!!
Her POINT GUARD who over-dribbles, throws errant passes, jacks up 12 ill-advised 3pt shots per game, plays no defense, and thinks that she is smarter than the ENTIRE COACHING STAFF is the problem!
Last year, without Caitlin Clark, the Fever were 2 bad minutes from making the Finals and winning a title.
Clark returns. She leads the W in turnovers, while shooting abysmally & being the 3rd worst defender in the league.
We are at halftime of Indiana vs Washington, and Indiana has looked ROUGH.
My thoughts on Indiana so far:
- No defensive effort
- Abhorrent FG% — They’re 9/37 as a team
- Stephanie White is not making any adjustments (this has happened all season)
- If Kelsey Mitchell gets a touch 95% of the time, she’s going to shoot. Never passes, even with teammates open. She’s 4/13
- Caitlin Clark’s teammates are looking her off. Washington is probably thankful.
- Team looks uninspired/no emotion
- Refs have done a great job
All of their flaws go back to terrible coaching. Indiana has won in spite of Stephanie White all season. She will be the reason that Indiana doesn’t win in the playoffs.
Just an embarrassing all around effort.
This graphic is incorrect. None of the games listed are in the top 25 most watched games this season.
None of his numbers include streaming plus cable viewership of games on linear TV. Also missing is viewership from Canada. The WNBA has a Toronto team & Canadian ratings are included in NBA, NHL & MLB games. It's not for the NFL.
Many things have been said about the Indiana Fever fanbase. But one thing is undeniably true...
They show out!
For three straight years.
For 2026, the Fever are again controlling the television landscape. At this point in the season, the Fever have appeared in all five of the league’s most watched games, including broadcasts averaging 2.64 million, 2.58 million, 2.56 million and 2.50 million viewers. Their opening weekend game against Dallas became the second most watched WNBA regular season game ever on ESPN networks.
Caitlin Clark remains the central driver, but the exposure has led fans to form connections with Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Sophie Cunningham and the entire franchise. They follow the team at home, travel to road games, buy merchandise and consistently deliver national audiences.
The Indiana Fever fan base has helped change the WNBA’s financial ceiling. The league now has more leverage with networks, sponsors, advertisers, arenas and future investors because Fever fans raised the bar.
Thank you Fever fans! Consumer loyalty is growing the game.
@IndianaFever
I enjoyed watching the Indiana Fever play basketball, last year, in the playoffs without Clark.
For the majority of the last 3 seasons, I have not enjoyed watching Caitlin Clark play basketball & flop all over the place.
Again, I work for a sports league and one of the 30 entertainment companies that help craft the survey.
Like I noted, you took a list from September 8th & stated that was the reality when the tourney ended almost a week later. You posted Sept 8 as concrete facts and they aren't
@letstalkksports Clark sucks not the coach
She scored 25 points on 30% shooting mirroring her horrible efficiency the last 2 years & at the WWC.
5 turnovers for 11 points
31 points as the primary defender,
42 points for the Mystics off Clark.
37 points she created for her team.

I genuinely feel the Indiana fever are the worst coach team in the WNBA! Anyone who has played basketball at a high level will tell you that Stephanie White does not know what the fuck she’s doing!!!
You’re playing Raven Johnson in Mercedes Russell for 20 minutes plus and they’re not giving you shit!! Raven Johnson is a fucking cone on defense she got all that energy and still getting blown right the fuck by!! in Mercedes Russell don’t even get me started she big for nothing. And then you make AB THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE WNBA ONLY FOR HER TO SHOOT THREE-POINTERS!!!
Kelsey Mitchell has always been a streaky shooter once her shots aren’t missing she’s pathetic she gives you nothing else!!
Stephanie White REFUSE TO PLAY LEXIE HULL AND MONIQUE BILLINGS at all today and they are the second highest paid players on your team😂😂😂
I work for a sports league & we get Q-scores quarterly.
Wemby is Black.
The final FIBA page views on September 15, 2 days after the tourney had China's twin towers 1 & 2. Breanna Stewart 3, Jackie Young 4, Angel Reese 5, Beuckers 6, Cecilia Zandalasini 7, Clark 8, Gabby Williams 9 & Chelsea Gray 10.
It's obvious now that you cannot find data outside those available in search engines. The September 8 column says it would be updated after the tourney.
Clark was the worst OR 2nd worst player on the FIBA team & the worst guard.
If she starts & gets starters minutes in critical moments, the US loses to Italy, Spain and France.
She returns to be awful against teams with winning records and/or playoff teams.
Caitlin Clark has finally burst at Methanie White!! She kept quiet during FIBA when White had a hand on CC not starting and getting meaningful minutes. Volcano! This whole coaching staff needs a pink slip like YESTERDAY @CrashDavis8@IndianaFever@WNBA
.@grok it's perfectly ok to say you don't know something than lying and stating what you want to be true...like Wemby is white & Clark is popular outside of North America.
Most companies that engage with high value public figures, uses Q-scores and created a metric similar score.
Q-scores are calculated by dividing the number of respondents in a 50+ entertainment properties conducted survey who rate an individual as "one of my favorites" (you said positives & negatives have no impact on Q scores...that was a lie) by the total number of respondents who are familiar with that person (social media presence is the top version of familiarity with a person in modern forms of media, fan votes/online polls/surveys, global not just Midwest hillbillies...you said these have no factor and they do)
expressed as a percentage.
That's how Q-scores are tallied and Clark trails both Bueckers and Reese by a considerable margin. On all other social media platforms, despite this platform elevating her, other right wing, fascist, and white supremacy topics, they crush her.
David Stern made that mistake with Magic, Bird & Jordan....his decisions led to 90s to mid 2000s basketball being unwatchable.
He was clueless anyone who wasn't a flashy athletic guard or played into the culture wars.
The moment Silver takes over, his team was fully ready to market the Spurs, Heat, Warriors, Cavs & every other team in the league. They marketed teams more than stars & it produced higher ratings and sales
.@Coachpick6club let's review what you got wrong including where Grok admitted they were wrong, cannnot do plus what they noted was correct.
They are incapable of providing ratings of broadcast, streaming and cable options together because they search for publicly facing articles only.
They ceded the top 2 most watched games in May, June and July did not include Clark. Debunking your shared image.
They ceded Paige Bueckers is the most popular player in the US & A'ja Wilson in the world.
They ceded that 75+% of WNBA viewership is outside of the US, including HALF of the population in China.
They ceded Clark isn't on the radar in China. They tried to use encounters instead of views,
engagement & purchases to place Dirk and Jokic into the top 20 at any point & cede that views,
engagement & purchases are actual metrics that prove favorability. This, Luka Doncic is the only white NBA player ever to rank in the top 10 in Asia.
They ceded that other white women like Stewart, Bird, Taurisi & Bueckers have been in the top 5 in China.
They backed away from Clark drives ratings once global viewership was asked. They ceded that across social media....Angel, Paige & A'ja far surpass Clark.
Finally, they noted Clark's shoe will not top sales for A'ja simply off Asia alone.
The NBA didn't overload the schedule with Ja Morant, Cooper Flag or Wemby games in year 2 or 3 because they came out of the gate hot.
Wemby has had a much bigger impact on ratings than Clark has & no one in the NBA conflates that as him being owed anything or him carrying the league.
Last season, the NBA had its most watched regular season, 1st, 2nd, conference Finals, Western Conference Finals & Finals per game that went 5 games ever.
@grok@Pick6Club Q scores exist for all of them but you stated, without facts, that Clark rated higher than Reese and Bueckers, which we know isn't accurate from points you have already ceded.
Social media presence
Fan vote
Positives higher than negatives
International awareness
Was the 90% white Italian team racist when they called her a dirty player and went after her on defense. Forcing coaches to keep her on the bench when the game was close against Italy, Spain & France.
She played in garbage time .
By the way, Spain's coach, who coached an all white team, called Clark's fans degenerates.
No that's not how that works.
Every guard on both lists has a better assist to turnover ratio than Clark & only 1 guard on this list is as bad a defender as her - Trey Young.
Alyssa Thomas career turnovers per game is less than half of Clark's. Female guards turnover the ball less than men until Clark who is nowhere close to the level of passer as guards before her and most male point guards.
Sophie Cunningham scored 0 points in 7 minutes for the Fever today.
In those 7 minutes, her +/- was -11.
Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.
