ESPN sports anchor Elle Duncan recently went on an epic rant to counter all the narrative about WNBA players hating on Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark. After seeing Duncan's commentary, Damian Lillard couldn't help but agree.
For those who missed it, Duncan sparked plenty of buzz on Thursday when she passionately slammed all the talk about Clark's fellow female hoopers allegedly being jealous of her.
Duncan couldn't understand where such buzz is coming from, adding that she's "tired" of it.
“I am tired of it … Who? Who are these girls that are hating on Caitlin Clark? Are you just combing through Twitter? What else are these women supposed to do? Fawn over her, fangirl over her, bend the fu**ing knee?" Duncan exclaimed.
"What do you want from them. She got 40 games guys, she got 35 more games. We’re not every single game gonna revisit and retread this same tired-a** rhetoric that ‘All these girls are hating on her, they need to be thankful.' They have been. They have said it. Time and time again. ... It is embarrassing."
Damian Lillard, for his part, caught wind of Elle Duncan's comments and shared his approval on the take. On his Instagram Story, the Milwaukee Buck guard re-shared the video of Duncan and captioned it with, "Bingo."
To be fair, the narrative on WNBA players hating on Clark may be blown out of proportion. At the end of the day, these are athletes and competitors we're talking about. Of course they would want to be the best.
Perhaps Clark's popularity and the massive attention she's getting have put a target on her back. But that's normal for top players, and Clark definitely understands that.
It remains to be seen if Clark will ever respond to all the talk surrounding her, though many are hoping that she would just to see her stance on the matter.
