The TNT analyst didn't hold back.
Amid the WNBA’s ongoing media tussle surrounding Caitlin Clark, TNT analyst Charles Barkley sent a fiery message shaming WNBA personalities for the negative narratives they’ve knowingly spread this season.
Barkley, better known for his NBA analysis, doesn’t have much skin in the game when it comes to media coverage of the Indiana Fever rookie. As someone on the outside looking in, though, Barkley doesn’t like what he sees. “These ladies—and I’m a WNBA fan—they cannot have f---ed this Caitlin Clark thing up any worse if they tried,” Barkley said onon Wednesday. “People believe what we say on television. Just because people don’t like you or your personality, they can’t get on TV and slander you. It’s just total bulls---.
“This girl is incredible. The number of attention, eyeballs she’s brought to college and the pros, and for these women to have this petty jealousness. You’re saying to yourself, ‘Damn, what is going on here?’ And the thing I love about her, she never says a word. But these ladies, who I love and respect their game, they couldn’t have f---ed this thing up any worse. There’s been so much negativity.
“I called as a friend, and I said, ‘You can say whatever you want, you can have your own opinion about anybody, but you do have to get the statistics right,’”. “Our relationship pretty much is not happening at this point…My life is going to be good or great with or without Sheryl Swoopes.”of a conversation she had with Clark in which Swoopes admitted she “made a mistake” and congratulated Clark for her accomplishments.
