Iowa Women’s Basketball star Caitlin Clark passing “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s all-time college basketball career scoring record was widely covered yesterday but Doug Gottlieb thinks we’re comparing apples to oranges, and if that’s what we’re gong to do, we should throw in some other fruit just for good measure. Confused? Take a listen and find out why the comparison isn’t necessary and actually diminishes Clark’s achievement.
Doug Gottlieb: “We made it up! Why do we make things up? To somehow make something more valid, to make it feel better. You don’t have to! Stop it! Don’t compare it. It actually does women’s basketball a disservice.”
