Lieberman has a different opinion on Clark's abilities. On Wednesday's episode of the "3s and Ones" podcast, Lieberman disagreed with Teague's evaluation of Clark's abilities and took a dig at the former NBA player's career.

"I don't agree with Jeff Teague who I read something today said that Caitlin Clark is just a good player, she's not a great player," Lierberman said. "Jeff, I love you but you weren't a good player. You were serviceable. I know you made the All-Star team one time."

Liberman pulled out a clip from Sunday's episode of "Club 520" podcast, where Teague gave his take on the Fever guard. While Clark has been in and out of games due to injuries this season, the Fever guard has been her team's ace since she was drafted last season.

Clark ended her rookie season as the league's assists leader and bagged the Rookie of the Year award. She also led the Fever to a playoff appearance for the first time since 2016. The fans have seen her abilities and her potential, and it is just a matter of time until she recovers from her injuries and regains her stellar form.

Teague's take on Caitlin Clark earlier this month was not the first time the 2021 NBA champion has underrated the Fever superstar. In December 2024, he sparked controversy after claiming that Bronny James would dominate the Fever guard in a one-on-one game.
