[I talk hoops 🏀 @trendyhoopstars]

Longtime “SportsCenter” anchor Linda Cohn questioned whether A’ja Wilson has some level of insecurity toward Caitlin Clark and whether that could be a reason she isn’t playing in the FIBA World Cup.

And I guess the question we have is: What exactly would A’ja Wilson be insecure about?

Is it basketball-related? It can’t be. Caitlin Clark is a zero-time champion at the high school, collegiate and, currently, WNBA level. Wilson is a high school state champion, led South Carolina to its first national championship and helped build a dynasty with the Las Vegas Aces, where she has won three WNBA championships. Oh, and she’s the only player in league history with four MVPs.

So clearly, it isn’t about basketball accomplishments. Are we talking about off the court? That doesn’t make much sense either. Clark’s most notable appearances away from basketball have largely involved golf. Not exactly sure why that would be something Wilson is sitting around feeling insecure about.

So is it the fans and attention? When you look at the fans Clark has, who exactly would want that? And obviously Wilson isn’t going to receive the exact same type of attention Clark does. She has never been pushed and pumped by the media at the rate Clark has, nor has she ever found herself at the center of the type of racially charged rivalry that has followed Clark throughout her professional career.

It’s a disservice to Caitlin Clark when so much of the conversation surrounding her relies on tearing down other players.

And it’s incredibly disrespectful to players like Wilson when trusted sports-media figures throw around narratives like this about someone who has spent years building one of the greatest résumés in basketball. It only adds fuel to the baseless jealousy narrative and gives Clark’s fans more red meat to feed off of, reinforcing this idea that Clark is somehow a damsel in distress who needs to be defended from other players. That, in turn, creates even more hostility toward players who are portrayed as jealous, bitter or somehow threatened by her when there is no actual basis for those claims.

Eventually, you start to realize that there are far too many paid fans disguised as media members.

At some point, a line has to be drawn. Enough is enough.

This is the first decent debate I've seen in awhile. Don't get me wrong both have violated rules or not answered questions but overall decent. Moderators aren't horrible #CrockettvTalarico

I feel sorry for what happens to Jena Lisa Jones and I hope she gets justice in the court and monetary. I'm curious what made her vote for Trump? What did he say to earn her vote.?

Normally I'd say the Cowboys piss this game away to the Giants but the two teams that are the "irresistible force and immovable object" of pissing away games are playing each other.

The Titans thought they didn’t need AJ Brown. The Giants thought they didn’t need Saquon Barkley.

The Eagles are the best football team ever assembled because the NFL allows absolute dipshits to run half the teams

[Doing BETTER @chavellek]

It's hard watching a football game where the teams are battling to lose. #HOUvsNYJ

[M.D.S. @TheGoldfatherOG]

the "Lamar Jackson is a running back" and "josh allen, baker mayfield and Joe Burrow are way better than Lamar" guys gotta be in fucking HELL right now.

Punching so much air hahahaha. 3x MVP on the horizon? Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics they do after this performance
