Was it bad sportsmanship for Clark to wave off Raven Johnson in the semifinal? WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2023 #17

You mean, right before she dribbled past her? LOL! Sogo Apr 2023 #22

No, when Johnson had the ball outside the three point line and Clark actively disdained to WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2023 #27

Johnson could of drained a three to fix it but she passed questionseverything Apr 2023 #31

Her three-pointer stats are not a threat. That's partly why the gesture was so cold. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2023 #34

So it would of been stupid to go out to guard her questionseverything Apr 2023 #38
