Former NBA star Kenyon Martin dismissed any chance of Caitlin Clark being able to score if she decides to take up the BIG3 basketball league's offer.
The BIG3 basketball league offered Caitlin Clark $5 million to play in this upcoming season once her time with Iowa was over – but not everyone appeared to be impressed. Kenyon Martin, a former NBA star who has played in the BIG3, said Wednesday he didn’t think Clark would even be able to score a point if she was out on the floor. 'It's a step under prison ball. Could you imagine her getting stuck down on Reggie Evans?' the New Jersey Nets great said on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast.
Could you imagine her being matched up and Reggie guarding her, for one. For two, this being 3-on-3, she can’t hide nowhere. Guard Reggie Evans out that mother---er.' Martin and Arenas agreed, 'No, she will not score.' 'She would not score one… It’s 3-on-3, she can’t hide nowhere,' Martin said. Clark has yet to comment on the offer, which TMZ Sports first reported. Ice Cube later confirmed the deal, even as he maintained it was meant to be private.
We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the championship. But I won’t deny what’s now already out there: BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark,' the legendary hip-hop artist and business mogul said. 'Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3. The skeptics laughed when we made Nancy Lieberman the first female coach of a men’s pro team, and she won the championship in her first year.
Our pathbreaking offer to Caitlin Clark demonstrates that BIG3 now offers another choice for athletes.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
