So Caitlin Clark is big. She’s an Iowa local. She was also proceeded by one of the most unique high school basketball programs that ended 30 years ago. What I mean by that is 6 on 6 women’s basketball. There’s a 99% invisible on it, look it up. Men’s basketball during the 6 on 6 era was second to women’s. 

Add on to that the huge passion for the hawks here. ISU was my alma mater, but that college is for people that actually go to college. The Hawkeyes are the team that the majority of the state actually roots for. 

If you aren’t from Iowa, Caitlin Clark is just entertaining to watch. She sinks 3 pointers like a fucking boss. The women fight hard. It’s awesome, and generally there is enough unpredictability in college ball with enough talent that you can’t just write off an underdog. 

My grandpa, a women’s basketball coach, was watching Caitlin the day he died. He probably saw his three daughters in her, my mom being able to also sink shots like a fucking boss. It’s just relatable and competitive. It’s good shit. 

Professional ball kinda sucks. It looks like wind sprints up and down the court. They clear shots so quick there’s not a fight. I don’t really care for it.
