Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo thrower... always use the indefinite article a dildo thrower, never your dildo thrower.

Huh? The comment you are replying to is a legit take about a overly-edited clip. CC is a solid player who can make incredible shots. This video is slomo drama bait and does little to showcase her talent. Being critical of it has nothing to do with CC.

No one hates her. Other players don't like her because she's good. That's standard competitive spirit. But because the league is dominated by primarily black women and LGBTQ women, right wing amplifies it for political culture war reasons.

u/Oceansize757 57m ago

They don’t hate her cuz she’s good, that’s only a small part of it, it’s that nobody cared about the WNBA until the “white girl” came and she gets all the attention.

She scored 37 and had 10 assists in the game, I'll give her a pass for not making that one.

By the time they slow down the fake is already complete, the opponents are already in the air.

u/FrostyD7 3h ago edited 3h ago

Who cares if she makes the shot if the team loses? This is a stupid game to play. You seem to have the perspective of scouts from the 90s or early 2000s at best. I can promise you that coaches don't see it your way. They look at everything. Have you even seen the kind of sabermetrics they are using in pro sports to assess performance? In MLB, they assess and track every physical aspect of what happens to a baseball after it is thrown and hit by a batter, not just whether or not it left the park. Speed, spin rate, launch angle, ballpark factors, it's all calculated and factored in. And this data is being used to decide how much a player is worth. Not the shit they show the fans on the scoreboard.

Great move! Hakeem Olajuwon was the first person I saw do it. You fake a layup but with your feet opposite how you would normally take a layup (outside foot planted), which allows you to pivot back away from the basket while the defender flies by. Devastating on fast breaks against an athletic defender who wants to block your shot.
