Jason Whitlock slams Paige Bueckers for having ‘no class’ compared to Caitlin Clark
Sports analyst and controversial talking head Jason Whitlock is known for his outspoken takes. He used a viral clip of the Dallas Wings guard to fire off his latest opinion.
“This isn’t me being a contrarian. It’s not unfair. I say that also believing All-Star Weekend proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Caitlin Clark is the only person qualified to be the face of the W,” Whitlock said.
“The hoop-n-hump league has no other candidate. Paige = No class.”
The video in question was of Bueckers at a club, partying. While there will be people who agree with Whitlock, many will also simply point to it as not being a factor in the conversation.
Paige Bueckers’ game is doing the talking for her
While people are free to question Bueckers’ actions off the court, her basketball talent is both immense and apparent. The Wings have an 18-9 record, in large part thanks to Paige’s quality.
The 24-year-old is averaging 20.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. She is also shooting almost 40 percent from three-point range, meaning she is already matching Clark’s levels.
Ultimately, the face of the league conversation comes down to winning. With the business end of the season now coming up, both Bueckers and Clark will be focused on just one thing: playoff success.
