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.”
Caitlin Clark’s Take Proved A Hit With Fans
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.’

“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.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
