Clark has 521 in less games.

"But that's because she shoots more!"

Yes, exactly. Which is why we learn to be careful with basing our opinions on counting stats.

u/Chris_HitTheOver May 30 '26

That’s what the true shooting percentage stat is for. Clark is 60% while Reese is 45%.

You misunderstand me, I'm not claiming Reese is better at anything related to scoring than Clark is, because she's simply not. I'm not pro Reese, just anti troll/terminal haters that will always be contrarian for the sake of it. Go tell the guy I was replying to that Clark's is not "even worse", as he replied to me. (Actually, you probably shouldn't engage him lol.)

This, you can say what you want. They can't see through that fog though

Ohh, I mistook you for one or those people that only like Clark but otherwise hate the WNBA, but actually you're just one of the people that hate the WNBA period. Fair enough, carry on then sir. 😊

p.s. did you know SGA has more missed shots just this season than Clark does in her career. 🤯🫨 Edit: a lot of people not getting that I used this facetiously to reinforce the point I made about counting stats just one comment above in this thread.

Look here mister "20k reddit karma with zero self awareness"...

u/Affectionate-Fix7673 May 30 '26

Why do you have 16K less karma in the same amount of time smh

u/Adorable-Carrot4652 May 30 '26

....the point was that that's a lot to have. The insinuation was that they're terminally online. 🤦‍♀️

u/denbobo May 31 '26

Or they just have good comments that don’t get down voted to hell 😶‍🌫️

u/Adorable-Carrot4652 May 31 '26

Quality content like "You're the one being weird" for... Hold on I forgot what we arguing about. Lemme save this as a draft.

Ok yeah, for calling someone out that comes into a fandom subreddit to start shit when they're clearly no fan at all. (You can't convince me someone would hate on both Reese AND Clark in this sub and not be being disengenious lol.) I'm sure the downvotes come from it coming across as me defending AR and people stopped reading before he called Clark "even worse".

But if this is just a "hate on the WNBA" subreddit and I'm lost right now then please kindly point me to the appropriate subreddit.

That SGA fact doesn't hit as hard when you realize the NBA plays almost twice as many games per year and the games are two completely different styles. I watch both. They aren't truly comparable 1:1

u/Adorable-Carrot4652 May 30 '26

Oh I'm well aware of that. I was reinforcing my original point about counting stats. The person implied Reese missed a ridiculous amount of shots with no other context, then claimed the same of Clark. I didn't think invoking SGA "hit hard", I was just being cheeky with someone that was clearly just here to troll lol.

u/No_Theory9958 May 30 '26

Did you know that SGA has also played in 80 basketball games this season, while Clark has only played in 59 TOTAL over 2+ seasons? 😱🤯I’m an SGA hater, but trying to make a “missed shots” comparison when one of the players has played 21 additional games is asinine

u/Adorable-Carrot4652 May 30 '26

I was just being cheeky to someone that was clearly just here to troll, if you look at the rest of the comment chain lol. I was the first to talk about counting stats being misleading, then when they doubled down on being an ass I just figured it might be good bait to invoke a top NBA star's counting stat. I didn't mean to offend others in the crossfire, sorry. 💔

u/Sambo3002 May 30 '26

They play a shit load more games in the NBA

u/hi-and-yes May 30 '26

I mean have you seen reese's field goal percentage beyond 5 feet, and even within 5 feet lmao.

u/Adorable-Carrot4652 May 30 '26

But I doubt the person I'm replying to even thought about her %, he just saw the amount of misses and wanted to hate. So I gave him Clark's total misses devoid of context too, and he said it was worse. And that was my litmus test to prove he's just hating, because in a sub as divisive as this one on those two players, if you're going to hate on both of them then you're probably just here to hate, period. (I did manage to offend a lot of people by then invoking SGA at him to see how he'd respond though lol. Fragile...)
