Dick Vitale is taking WNBA players to task for snubbing Caitlin Clark on their All-Star Game ballots ... ripping their voting as nothing more than "PURE JEALOUSY."
00:00Well, Caitlin Clark's next trip to the office might be a little awkward because she's basically found out her co-workers don't think she's as big a superstar as the fans do.
00:10Duh. Duh.
00:12So the WNBA, the all-star vote came in. The fans, no shocker, voted her number one. But the players voted her only the ninth best guard. Ninth.
00:24Um, that is some disrespect right there. Even legendary Dick Vitale had to sound off on this. He said, absolutely pure jealousy that WNBA players voted Caitlin Clark the ninth best guard. Someday they will realize what she has done for all of the players in the WNBA. Chartered planes, increase in salaries, sold out crowds.
00:46But hold on. Improved TV rating.
00:48These are not things that make somebody a number one player. That's a benefit to the sport.
00:54Right.
00:54But it's not something that makes somebody a number one. Now, wasn't she sidelined with an injury for a while?
00:58Right. To Harvey's point, yeah. She's missed seven out of the 16 games that the Fever played in. She's actually been ruled out to ninth tonight.
01:06So to be her, or what, eighth game that she's missed this season. She's also not doing as well as she normally does when she is in on the court.
01:13And that's probably due to all the injuries she's suffered. 39% from the field, 29% from three-point land. So she's not as good this year.
01:20Do you want to tell us about those stats and how does that stack up with the competition?
01:23All I'm thinking.
01:24Tell us all about your sports knowledge.
01:25All I'm thinking, Edward, is based on what I just said, like if I were applying like as a PA for the sports department, you'd hire me, wouldn't you?
01:33You actually hit it on the head.
01:34See?
01:35Oh my God.
01:36I hit it on the head.
01:38I hit it on the head. Nailed it.
01:40Here's what I want to give you credit for. You literally just overheard that conversation while you were having another conversation this morning.
01:48That's absolutely not true.
01:48You overheard Kyle and Siobhan talking about it this morning.
01:51I didn't even know.
01:51And you parroted back exactly what they said.
01:54I did not know.
01:55Give Kyle his credit.
01:56I did not even know this was this guy.
01:58That was word for word what Kyle said this morning.
