Rob Parker: "This is the reason NOT to watch the WNBA. We came there to watch basketball, right? Caitlin Clark was blowing people away with the logo 3's, it was about the basketball. And instead, you know where we are now? It's a bad episode of 'Basketball Wives.' That's what we have. I'm not interested in that! They're supposed to be ready for primetime. They don't want to be criticized by the media, they don't want to be fouled now... I don't know what it is. Are you going to play basketball, or is everything petty and personal? I don't get it. They've been dying for this stage, they've been dying for a messiah. She showed up! She moves the needle!"
Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the latest on-court drama between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Rob rips the perception of this "feud," explaining why these moments actually harm the fandom of the WNBA rather than help it, as it draws too much attention to personal storylines instead of the quality of basketball.
