I would guess its more than linsanity when dealing with purely stuff in America and since the WNBA is WAY less popular overall than the NBA so the impact would be felt more. China has so many people that it would almost be unfair to compare that to CC.
This is all from the top of my head but her average attendance is double every other WNBA teams combined average attendance. Her games total attendance was 33% of the overall attendance in the WNBA this season. That is 1 persons team vs 11 other teams. She has broken viewership records on every channel she's played on going back like 20 years. To give a full story on the growth the WNBA was growing yearly. Slow as hell but constant growth. This rookie class gave added an almost exponentual growth. All the rookies deserve some credit. However CC is so far away the main reason you can't lump her in with the rest. Luckily I bookmarked some of this stuff.

This is just my opinion, but I think the WNBA has a problem with too much talent being stacked on a few teams and the other teams are just trash overall. The Liberty, The Sun, The Lynx, The Storm and the Aces all look like normal professional teams and are packed with talented players that don't miss too many layups or passes. The rest of the WNBA teams have a few good players but are really bad overall. Like 4 teams are Pistons level bad. Sadly the Fever is one of them. The Fever have not beat a team over .500 in 2 seasons. they will look good vs other bad teams and that is mostly because of CC. With how much CC gets doubled the other players pretty much have a 4 on 3 for the majority of the game and they still can't take advantage of it. The fever starting SF is averaging 5pts a game and shooting 38%FG 28%3pt. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: If you go by social media you would think CC is struggling as a rookie. She is having an All-WNBA season. That is 2 players from Team USA(1 the reigning MVP) and a rookie. |

They really stepped up in the 2nd half. They were really taking advantage of CC being overplayed. That is all I ask. If the other team is going to give you an advantage make sure you capitalize on it. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This is why I said if Angel can hit her layups at a higher percentage she could be a star. Her team gets her so many layups she would average 20 if she did not shoot so poorly on them. It would hurt her rebounds since a lot of them are from her own missed laups like you see here but she would score so much. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This guy perfectly explains why I ended up liking CC more than Angel and how Angel fans can be just as toxic as the extreme CC fans and the fact that they are like 90% black women. I have never seen so many black racist people until this CC vs Angel thing. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This has to be the smartest thing to come out of the Gilbert Arenas Podcast. Also a WNBA player saying CC is at the top of the scouting report. We could tell by how every team defends her but it's nice to get confirmation. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Reese with an amazing game. I told you her numbers were good before but once she start hitting layups at a decent rate she going to really be a start. She hit 2 3's tonight also. |

That league needs to start looking at heavy duty suspensions and fines for these jealous haters who are hard fouling her |
