“MJ, Stephen Curry in That Category”: Caitlin Clark Receives Extravagant Inclusion in Ex-NBA Star’s Bold Claim

Collecting all official titles and getting the big guns of the world on her end, Caitlin Clark does not seem to be stopping. This time, she has moved the 1996 NBA 3-point contest to her corner. in fact, to place her among the NBA veterans, whom Tim Legler has finely added to his curated list, he even had to shift the ranks and lose one.

Talking to Dan Patrick on his ESPN show, Legler applauded the scoring and assist queen of the NCAA as he said, “In terms of sheer entertainment value for me to watch basketball players, I think she might have cracked my top 5 all-time, and that’s men or women.”

He further continued by naming the players included in his top five: “I’m saying MJ is in that category. Steph Curry is in that category, Caitlin Clark is in that one. Believe it or not, I got a random one, Russell Westbrook was in that one for me for about a five year stretch right after Durant. Larry Bird will be the other guy. That’s my five.”

It is obvious that Clark has been a great entertainer and motivator behind people clamming up to watch women’s basketball. Surprisingly, she is bringing the same energy to the professional leagues. But for the four-time CBA All-Star, something else puts Caitlin Clark among these men.

Her IQ on the floor is what brings Caitlin Clark to the top 5.

Admiring the athlete, Tim Legler said that he could watch Clark play every night. In fact, he is fascinated by her mind, toughness, and shooting ability. However, Clark’s IQ on the floor takes the crown. Applauding her clever strategies, Legler said, “It’s her IQ and her mental toughness, because she’s a target every night and she doesn’t allow it to get her off her game. I just have so much respect for that.”

Dan Patrick agreed with Legs as he warned the other teams about the Fever rookie. According to him, the opponents should not leave her open. In fact, he added that even if they do pack her, she will eventually find someone for a successful pass. In the end, the celebrated sportscaster said that it was saying a lot that he had placed her among the top 5 all-time basketball entertainers.

Quite interestingly, while everyone agrees that the WNBA is a lot harder competition compared to college and everyone here knows how to play, most believe that Clark can break through anything. In fact, many would even say that her passing abilities alone should promise her great heights in the league. It is never getting old to hear people commend a generational talent like Caitlin Clark. Do you agree?
