She compared the Clark situation with the “bad boys” era detroit pistons with special rules when playing against Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, winning championships on the PGA Tour.
“This is what Caitlin Clark is. Don’t hate her. If she happens to be the cash cow right now, you have to embrace it,” Lieberman said. “Don’t be small. She’s the best guard in the league right now. Her numbers have proven it. Her game has proven it. I would really pray some of the guards (to) celebrate each other, not tolerate each other.
“Angel Reese is astonishing. She just broke another record. This is beautiful, intelligent, amazing athletes, and we should support each other, not jealous of each other.”
