Basketball Legend Calls Caitlin Clark's Play 'Just Ridiculous'
Caitlin Clark's gameplay has left even a basketball legend stunned.
The basketball phenom has boosted the popularity of the WNBA with her already legendary three-pointers.
However, her play on June 14 turned heads when she made seven three-pointers to score 32 points against the New York Liberty. It was "just ridiculous," according to former Liberty star and Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo. But she meant that as a compliment.
"It means a lot more people are paying attention once again," Lobo said on June 16 on ESPN’s "First Take," according to Awful Announcing. "We know how much Caitlin drives ratings. We know how much Caitlin drives attention on the WNBA. For her to come back and do it in that way was just ridiculous."
Lobo wasn't done.
“I’m sitting there at the end of the first quarter when she had that 38-second stretch where she drained deep three after deep three after deep three. I was just sitting there thinking, I’ve been around this league since 1997. I have never seen that in a WNBA game," she added. "Have we seen players go on runs? Of course, we have, but not like that, not where a couple of the three-pointers are from 30-plus feet."
“It was an exhibition by her after being out for 19 days to recover from an injury. Couple that with the other passes that she made and some of the other plays, it was just ridiculous," she added. "It’s not often that you’re watching the WNBA, or that I’m watching it, and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’ve just never seen this before.'”
