00:00Why do you think the WNBA has a problem promoting a white chick like
00:04Caitlin Clark?
00:05I mean, look,
00:07they did it with Larry bird back in the day when bird and magic were
00:10trying to transform the NBA back in the early eighties.
00:14Why can't the WNBA and why can't its players accept the fact that
00:19Caitlin Clark's not the greatest player in the history of the WNBA,
00:21but she's the most polarizing player in maybe WNBA history.
00:26Why is that such a tough putt for some of the players in the league?
00:30And for some of the people that run the league.
00:34Well, from a player perspective, I don't get,
00:37I don't care who you are or who you think you are.
00:40If I'm better than you, I'm smashing you in the mouth, period.
00:43I'm not stepping aside because somebody said you're good or you're the most
00:47polarizing. I'm, I'm putting an elbow in your neck as a player.
00:51Like that's just competition.
00:53I don't even know from a competitive standpoint,
00:55why anyone even has that conversation, what I'm supposed to do,
00:58bend over because somebody said that, that she's the new thing.
01:03Okay. Come take it then.
01:04Like I could be an average player.
01:06If I'm better than you and you're a rookie, that's welcome to the league.
01:09So from a player perspective, they don't know her anything.
01:13It's, it's a, it's a, it's a insane concept to me that any player in the,
01:19Larry was talking crap and putting, putting up buckets.
01:26He didn't care if people didn't like him.
01:28He enjoyed that people didn't like him from a, from a league perspective.
01:32It's a completely different conversation.
01:34And I do think that that is part of what they need to strategize on and lean
01:38into.
01:39Caitlin hasn't done herself any favors.
01:41She's, you know, out here shoving, you know,
01:44videographers and stuff like she, she's got to decide what side she's going to be
01:48on. And if you're going to be a villain, lean into being a villain.
01:50That's great for everybody.
01:51Absolutely.
01:52They're like, you said, they,
01:53they went after Michael Jordan early in his career.
01:57Jordan had to take the, but Tom crushed him.
01:59Exactly.
02:00So again, if you want the title, guess what?
02:03You got to come and get it.
02:04That's what, no question about it.
02:06What the great ones do.
