Antonio Brown’s Hollywood reference to Iowa and Clark’s Big Ten victory

Antonio Brown had been under social media scrutiny for comparing Clark to actor Mel Gibson. He had taken to X trying to roast her on a post appreciating them for being the leading scorer. By the end of the game, with just 51 seconds remaining, Clark scored a magnificent 3-pointer, giving the Hawkeyes an 89-87 lead. Despite her efforts, the Hawkeyes guard was trolled by the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver.

He went as far as tweeting a photo of Mel Gibson’s photoshopped on Caitlin Clark’s body. With Clark, the team is dreaming of a first-ever national title, and Brown’s reaction to that is expected to be even more hilarious. He captioned the post on X, “Congrats to Caitlin Clark for winning the big ten championship #MelGibson #CTESPN,” which was considered disrespectful by many of his followers.

In a nail-biting finish against Nebraska, Iowa came out on top after Caitlin Clark’s solid performance. Despite facing a 13-point deficit in the first half, the Hawkeyes rallied behind Clark’s offense. Her scoring outburst came when she scored 30 of her 34 points after halftime. She took matters into her own hands when her team needed her to improve. She also managed to get 12 assists and seven rebounds, further increasing her stake. Hanna Stuelke also played a pivotal role through her playmaking, contributing 25 points and nine rebounds. Despite leading her team to a third consecutive Big Ten victory, Brown has not spared an opportunity to poke fun at her.

Caitlin Clark’s response to the news

As Caitlin Clark leads her team to another comeback victory, praises have come in from all corners for the talented guard. “We just found a way to win, and that speaks to our team and our maturity in this group. I think this team is never out of a game,” she said. Her words resonate with the entire group’s faith in each other alongside their star player.

Clark has been named the Big Ten MVP for three seasons. In just three games, she has averaged 28 points. An impressive stat includes her 91.3% scoring rate from the free-throw line. 

As Clark grows into one of the best young basketball talents in the country, do you think Brown will rest on his memes? Let us know in the comments below.
