Basketball legend implores WNBA players to 'embrace' Caitlin Clark, drop the jealousy

FOX Nation’s ‘Who Can Forget? The ‘90s’ bounces back to the start of the WNBA, predicting that the league’s new star Caitlin Clark could help the league profit after three decades. 

Women’s basketball legend Nancy Lieberman implored WNBA players to "embrace" Caitlin Clark and lose the jealousy as she’s going to be the money driver for the future of the sport.

Lieberman talked to TMZ Sports earlier in the week, reacting to WNBA All-Stars ranking Clark the ninth-best guard among them. Clark received the most votes from the fans.

She compared the Clark situation to the "Bad Boys" era Detroit Pistons having 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, embrace it," Lieberman said. "Don't be petty. She's the best guard in the league right now. Her numbers have proven it. Her game has proven it. I would really implore some of the guards (to) celebrate each other, don’t tolerate each other.

"Angel Reese is amazing. She just broke another record. These are beautiful, intelligent, amazing athletes, and we should be supporting each other, not jealous of each other."
