Charles Barkley is chiming in on the Caitlin Clark situation in the WNBA.
During a recent episode of ‘Mind The Game” podcast, LeBron James made sure to give Clark her props for changing the WNBA for the better.
“Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it f—– up. Caitlin Clark is the reason a lot of great things are going to happen to the WNBA.”
Before game 1 of the Western Conference finals, Barkley added to LeBron’s comments by calling out WNBA women who have been petty towards Clark since she got drafted into the league.
“You women out there, ya’ll petty. LeBron you’re 100 percent right on these girls hating on Caitlin Clark, ya’ll petty girls. I expect men to be petty cause we’re the most insecure group in the world, ya’ll should be thanking that girl for getting you private charters, all the money and visibly that she’s bringing to the WNBA. Caitlin Clark thank you for bringing all that money and shine to the WNBA”

Of course faced backlash on social media over his comments.
I’m gonna need these misogynists to no longer give commentary on the WNBA. This is tired and disrespectful to the league and all the players who’ve worked their azzez off to date. https://t.co/CNdZDUDf0L
