Larry Bird Breaks Silence on Caitlin Clark Controversy
NBA legend Larry Bird has blasted Marina Mabrey’s attack on Caitlin Clark, calling it “cowardly” and “a disgrace to the game.” Bird warned that if the WNBA doesn’t protect its stars, the league risks losing credibility — and its future.
Bird praised Clark’s toughness under fire, saying her ability to rise above cheap shots proves she’s a generational talent. But the incident also sparked bigger questions: Why are WNBA stars being targeted, and why is the league silent?
Tensions are only escalating — from Angel Reese’s viral TikTok mocking Clark, to accusations of favoritism, racism, and even fans launching the “Protect Caitlin Clark” movement. Meanwhile, Clark continues to break records, driving ticket sales, jersey sales, and TV ratings to unprecedented heights.
But here’s the dark twist: some insiders fear that if Clark isn’t protected, she could walk away — leaving the WNBA with a crisis it may not survive.
