Dawn Staley is an absolute class act. After finishing a perfect season, she has enough class and humility to personally thank Caitlin Clark from her award stage:
“I want to personally thank
Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport, she carried a heavy load for our sport.”
Caitlin Clark is great.
Kamilla Cardoso is great.
Iowa is great.
South Carolina is great.
Bluder and Dawn are great.
This title game is great.
Paige is great. Aziaha James is great. JuJu is great.
ESPN's studio show is great.
This tournament is great.
Can we all stop hating on whoever we don't like, for whatever reason, and just enjoy this incredible basketball?
Dawn Staley is ALL CLASS taking time after winning her 3rd National Championship to say this about Caitlin Clark,
“I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport…You are one of the GOATs of our game and we appreciate you.”
Andraya Carter and Chiney Ogwumike answered why this year was so epic for women's sports, while Stephen A. Smith made sure to give praise to the two analysts for helping elevate the game of women's basketball.
Words cannot express my love for my teammates, coaches, fans and our university - Thanks for making my dreams come true. Wearing Iowa across my chest the last four years has been an honor. This place will always be home🖤
Tell you what: @Andraya_Carter's become 1 of my favorite young analysts.
Just flawlessly crushed a 5+ min live shot w @notthefakeSVP, post Iowa-UConn semi. Poignant insight, candid thoughts abt the ridiculous ending to the game & context around Iowa-S. Car final. Not easy 🙌
This Women’s game has everything you can ask for from a thrilling sporting event:
• Star power
• Momentum swings
• Aggression/ legal violence
• Unbridled emotion
This is absolutely amazing to watch!! 🔥
Kudos women: #UCONNvsIOWA
This young man from State plays with Joy. More than anything, I believe that’s why he’s been so magnetic the past few weeks!
Younger players - bring joy to your game as much as possible. It lifts your teammates up and makes them and u better!!
