BREAKING: Caitlin Clark has been publicly issued a lifetime gage by Former two time NBA Champion Mychal Thomson” After announcing her new....

Former two-time NBA champion Mychal Thompson has a great nickname to describe what Caitlin Clark is going through. Thompson, who is the father of star Klay Thompson, appeared on OutKick show “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” during the week and shared that he has been a fan of Clark for a few years. He also discussed the negativity the former Iowa star Clark has received from other WNBA players.

Regarding the other WNBA players, Thompson remarked, “Well, they don’t like Caitlin Clark.” “I’ve been noticing, Caitlin. Since her sophomore year at Iowa, I have kept up with her professional life. And I understand how unique she was and how she approached the game differently. She had Steph Curry-like play in the game. That was unlike any woman we had ever seen play. And as her college career progressed, I was aware of it. I once shared all of my,

colleagues who are not into women’s basketball. I said, ‘hey, man, you got to check out this girl in Iowa, man. She shoots from the logo. She shoots from almost half.’ Of course she’s different. And I was trying to emphasize for about a year and she finally caught on. And men who travel with us in our traveling party, who are basically anti women’s basketball, just didn’t care for it, didn’t want to talk about it, had no interest in it at all. Then all of a sudden they started watching Caitlin Clark and got intrigued by her. And they became fans of her and her game and, novices in the NBA.”

Thompson then revealed how his “JEEP” acronym perfectly explains what Clark is enduring.

Man, I tell you, she needs a Jeep endorsement a commercial because Jeep is an acronym that I’ve come up with, or the way she has been treated and not welcomed into the WNBA. Jeep. The acronym is Jeep: that stands for jealousy, envy, egos, and pettiness. That’s the way the women have treated her and the WNBA, especially the old guard, the stars, because she is commanding so much attention and she is the sole reason why the WNBA is so popular now and enjoying more popularity and notoriety. And that drives the old guard crazy.”

Because of her immense popularity, Clark was supposedly left off the Olympic squad by the organizers due to their concerns about the amount of attention she would garner. Throughout the season, opponents have also targeted the rookie for the Indiana Fever. Throughout the season, Clark has averaged 16.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
