WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark has weighed in on the GOAT debate, becoming the latest superstar to add her voice to the long-runningargument.

Clark, who entered the WNBA with loads of expectation on her shoulders, did well to surpass them. So she gets what LeBron James had to go through coming to the NBA even younger, also without having played in college.

The fact that he’s still playing at a high level at age 40 has also impressed Clark. And she casually branded him “The greatest basketball player of all time” while speaking to host Dave Letterman on the latter’s Netflix show, ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.’

Clark was asked whether she had anyone to compare herself to in terms of the expectations she had coming into the WNBA. She didn’t get drawn into comparing herself to another player but used LeBron as an example, hailing him the GOAT as she pointed to his lack of college experience and the manner in which he shouldered the burden of expectation.

“He’s still one of the best players, if not the best player in the world … It’s incredible what he’s done for the game of basketball and the way he’s carried himself,” she said. “I’ve always been a fan of him.”

Fans loved Caitlin Clark’s pick and sounded off on social media after she dubbed LBJ the Greatest of All Time.

“My GOAT discussing my other GOAT,” one said. “Love to see it.’

“You see, I’ve always knew I’ve been a fan of CC,” another wrote.

“As matter of factly as she says it, is how it’s supposed to be said,” one user declared. “Because that’s how matter of fact it is.”

“She is too young to have watched MJ. LJ is probably the best in her lifetime still playing,” someone else pointed out.

“Already the most hated WNBA player and she knows she’ll get even more hate with this and she doesn’t care. I love it,” said a fifth.

Of course, this is likely to stir up further debate. But at least we know who Caitlin thinks is the greatest ever.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Caleb Williams at NFL Draft

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

 

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

 

 

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
