Reporter Cindy Brunson questioned the WNBA expertise of Skip Bayless following his recent assertions regarding Caitlin Clark. Bayless claimed that the league's stars are divided against Clark, leading Brunson to cite a 15-year-old interaction where Bayless asked for help identifying the 2011 Minnesota Lynx roster. While Brunson challenged his analysis, Clark continues her professional activity at the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin. Representing Team USA, Clark contributed 14 points and 11 assists in a 94-61 victory over China during the group phase. The Indiana Fever guard previously placed 11th in the WNBA player voting for All-Star starters, despite high support from fans and media members. Clark remains in Germany with her teammates as Team USA pursues a fifth consecutive gold medal.
