“It Always Takes Time” - Sue Bird on Caitlin Clark’s Tough WNBA Transition | The Rich Eisen Show

Through all of this, CC has never complained, never disrespected WNBA veterans, just tried to go about her business. It will be a process. CC needs to improve. So do her teammates and coaches.

If they don’t pass you the ball you’d be pissed too

I think that Caitlin's fan base is putting her under TOO MUCH pressure. She doesn't have room or time to learn, grow, etc. Pressure to perform is a major problem.

Hey Rich, you remember MJ in his first All-Star game. His teammates refused to pass it to him. The Fever looks the same too me. CC barely touched the ball in long stretches of the game. They would not screen for her. They would not run the court for her. She is all by herself with no help. The only girl on this team that will help her is sitting on the far end of the bench. That is Celeste Taylor rookie. She has played 0 minutes in two games. Best defensive player on the team and a spot up shooter. She would also run fast breaks with CC.

Thank you Sue. This interview was needed!

Sue bird is well spoken and had some great insight. CC will step up and will be significantly better if her teammates and coach step up, too. The team is not currently playing good fundamental team ball. The coach needs to help that.

People love talking about CC and say nothing about the team as a whole and how this organization has done nothing in the offseason to prepare for her coming

Sue is right on the money,it will take time,CC will be a star.Sue is beautiful inside and out!Love her!!!!!!

A lot of people called these women haters when they were just being honest.

Last 7 years the Fever have been in the basement. Christie Sides took the coaching job in 2023. Boston was drafted in 2023. The Fever won 13 games, 8 more games than in 2022.18 to 20 wins are needed to get to the playoffs. Boston and CC should get us there.

ILuv and respect Sue Bird, I saw her play many years ago, she's a classy Lady Luv, LuvHer, I saw her when she played against Liberty

Rich Eisen! Excellent show. You and Sue are true professionals!

So many damn comments about Coach Christie Sides. It has been 2 games....."2"......against the 2nd and 3rd best team in the league last year. Their off guard is working back from a last minute injury,so CC is playing some 2....allowing the Veteran PG to play. They do look outmatched athletically and size wise so far, so a 2-12 start would get the coach off the charter flights and back into a u-haul......but for now, be logical

Great discussion and insight, Sue and Rich!

Like some have mentioned before - CC is a great talent, but she's not bigger or faster or stronger than these other wnba players. She's not some freak athlete and she will have to have others on her team be able to play well together to make them a competitive team.

No one watched the games of Sue Bird.

All of this coverage makes it seem like Clark is the only player on the Fever

ITS NOT WHAT DT SAID- ITS HOW SHE SAID IT-

Sue is sure giddy about this! Just more proof that the entire league current and former players are jealous AF of CC! Its sad because Caitlin is a good person! Yes I know her somewhat, but my best friend played against her dad in college and he was a coach in the youth leagues Caitlin played in and we watched her play basically most of her life! Any of the other players wouldve signed a big shoe deal if they were offered one! As a matter of fact there have been 9 black players with shoe deals, and thats including Angel and A'ja, and Caitlin is the 5th white woman to have a shoe deal! CC is changing the league and fan base that will elevate all of the women on every single team, which is what theyve been complaining about FOREVER!

These basketball players are just doing what they are suppose to do …play basketball. They didn’t ask for anything. The Media put Caitlin in this position. Go blame the media.
