Basketball fans slam Gottlieb’s comments
Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.
Doug Gottlieb found himself in hot water after sharing his thoughts on Caitlin Clark‘s shooting mechanics.
The Fox Sports Radio host’s tweet, which included a photo of Clark in a shooting position, sparked backlash from basketball fans and experts alike.
In the tweet, Gottlieb questioned whether Clark should fix her shooting mechanics in the offseason, prompting a wave of criticism.
Gottlieb’s tweet did not sit well with many, especially considering Clark’s impressive track record in women’s college basketball and her recent selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft.
Clark is renowned for her exceptional shooting ability, with a range that extends almost anywhere on the court. While her shooting form may not adhere to traditional textbook standards, her on-court performance speaks for itself.
Caitlin Clark dominates Indiana Fever practice, strikes fear in WNBA
The backlash against Gottlieb was swift and pointed, with many highlighting his own college basketball career shortcomings.
One user pointed out that Clark scored 3,321 more points than Gottlieb did during his college career, while another highlighted his free throw and three-point shooting percentages.
In response to the backlash, Gottlieb faced further scrutiny, with some questioning his qualifications to comment on Clark’s shooting technique.
The overall sentiment was clear: Gottlieb’s remarks were not well-received within the basketball community.
In light of the controversy, it is evident that Gottlieb’s comments struck a nerve and were perceived as unwarranted criticism of a highly accomplished athlete.
The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential repercussions of publicly critiquing an athlete’s skills, especially when the individual offering the critique has faced their own athletic challenges.
It underscores the importance of approaching such discussions with sensitivity and respect for the athletes’ accomplishments.
As for Gottlieb, it may be wise to reconsider the manner in which he shares his thoughts on athletes’ performances in the future.
