Plum Wasn’t The Only WNBA Star To Take Aim At Caitlin Clark On Friday

Plum, though, wasn’t the only WNBA star who had something negative to say about Caitlin Clark’s shooting from long range.

Women’s basketball icon Diana Taurasi also took a shot at the Hawkeyes star, claiming Geno Auriemma would never let her shoot deep threes at UConn.

“Heck no, like he didn’t even let us dribble,” she said after she was asked whether the Huskies head coach would allow Clark to play her style of basketball under him.

Clark has found herself fielding a lot of criticism lately. WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently made headlines for taking shots at her, though she has since claimed to have apologized to the Iowa guard personally.

The 22-year-old is one of the best players in college at the moment and became the highest-ever scorer this season. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory, but she will have the opportunity to go at Plum soon enough as she’s headed to the WNBA herself.

REPORT: Stephen A Smith Rejects Offer From ESPN, Demands Ridiculous New Salary Amid Massive Layoffs

ESPN has laid off a ton of employees in the past few years, but that fact is not going to stop Stephen A Smith from getting the money that he wants and thinks he deserves as a top talent on the network.

ESPN is trying hard not to let Stephen A Smith leave the network as it was reported that the Worldwide Leader in Sports offered a whopping $90 million over five years, which would see him with an annual salary of $18 million.

That is damn good money to have, but it appears to be a slap in the face for Smith.

ESPN reportedly pitched to Smith’s agency, WME, that he could become the highest-paid talent on their team, but Puck News stated Smith is demanding $7 million more than that for his next deal.

Journalist James Andrew Miller was recently on the “SI Media with Jimmy Traina” podcast when he revealed Smith wanted a “big, big number.”

“I think there have been preliminary talks already that have started,” Miller said of Smith and ESPN. “He’s looking for a big, big number. And I also feel, given the content world, he doesn’t even have to have another offer from one entity for that big number.

“I think what ESPN is up against is the possibility that WME could go out and create an architecture where Stephen A. has a podcast, a this, a deal with this, a deal with that, whatever, and at the end of the day, it’s $20 million a year.”
