Caitlin Clark’s collision controversy

Iowa Hawkeyes basketball superstar Caitlin Clark often makes headlines for breaking records on the court. However, the current buzz surrounding the athlete involves a controversial incident that took place after Iowa’s disappointing loss to Ohio State.

Jason Whitlock plays the clip of Clark being knocked down by an Ohio State fan who was storming the court following the match.

Many have accused Clark of “flopping” or theatricalizing her fall.

“It all depends on which angle you look at it from,” says Jason, who admits that Caitlin Clark is “perhaps [his] favorite athlete right now.”

From one angle, it appears the fan “knocks Caitlin over,” but from a different angle, it looks like Clark does “a LeGron James-level flop,” he tells Steve Kim.

“I think Caitlin has to do a little bit more shoulder press,” says Steve, claiming the athlete is “dainty."

“It's a flop, and Caitlin initiated it,” concludes Jason.

Regardless of Clark’s theatrics, however, he still thinks she “has college basketball – the entire sport – on her back the same way that Tiger Woods had the PGA Tour on his back.”

“Caitlin Clark is the most relevant, popular, interesting, fascinating college athlete since Tim Tebow,” says Jason.
