to be rooting for Caitlin Clark and Iowa. No reason other than how the minorities have disrespected her. They can't handle the fact that a "White Girl" can out play them. Sheryl Swoopes should be ashamed of herself. Plus the ratchet LSU and Carolina players. I hope they play LSU and Clarke hangs 50 on them.

Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird.  I very seldom watch a ladie's game other than UT or U of L, but I will watch Iowa State just to see her make NBA 3's.  The record is the record.  I know Pete did it in 3 years, Jim Brown played 12 games, Babe Ruth played 154 games.  But asterisks are for statisticians, a record is a record.

Honestly its a bit silly to compare women's and men's games anyway, but I get why they do it, and don't have a problem with it.

But my willingness to debate whether her accomplishment is greater than Pete's is almost zero because the talent levels are completely different.

It really is apples to oranges....shot clock, 3pt shot, etc.

Agree with you both.

She can play. She has a great shot and outstanding game, but Pete is still on a level all his own.

Yes she definitely does. I am not a fan because of her behavior, but I can still respect her talent. You do not get to be as good as she is without a ton of hard work.

Pistol Pete was the best pure shooter I ever saw in person.  Nobody else comes close.

Couldn't stand him or his dad but good is good
