Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has copped criticism for his latest take on Iowa Hawkeyes sensation Caitlin Clark.
Clark was able to break Pete Maravich's NCAA scoring record, which stood for over 50 years, on Sunday. She finished with 35 points, six rebounds, nine assists and three steals while shooting 10-26 from the field, 6-17 from 3-point range and 9-10 from the free-throw line. Clark led the No. 6-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes to a 93-83 victory over the No. 2-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
Bleacher Report shared a quote from Clark about being compared to Maravich:
"Somebody called me 'Ponytail Pete'. I thought it was kind of funny."
Seven-time Pro Bowler Antonio Brown then tweeted that the two were the same person:
"#CTESPN Update: that’s the same dude"
Fans immediately jumped to the defense of Clark. One labeled the former Super Bowl champion a clown:
"You’re a clown"
There were, however, a couple of fans who suggested Brown was onto something.
Caitlin Clark recently declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft
Caitlin Clark is having a strong season as she looks to lead the Iowa Hawkeyes to their first national title in program history. She announced that she will enter the 2024 WNBA Draft on Thursday, tweeting:
"While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa. I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft. It is impossible to fully express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me during my time at Iowa.
"[My] teammates, who made the last four years the best; my coaches, trainers, and staff who always let me be; Hawkeye fans who filled Carver every night; and everyone who came out to support us across the country, especially the young kids. Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without my family and friends who have been my side through it all. Because of all of you, my dreams came true."
Clark is projected to be selected first overall. She has averaged 28.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 46.5% from the field, 38.2% from 3-point range and 85.6% from the free-throw line during her four-year college career.
