It cracks me up that the two most prominent voices (Rebecca Lobo and Jay Williams)Archived Message

insisting that Caitlin Clark can't be the GOAT if she doesn't win a National Championship (or, in Lobo's case, multiple National Championships), played for easily the most prominent programs in their respective sports.
Lobo specifically mentioned Breanna Stewart as someone with whom Clark can't compete because Stewart won four National titles in four years.
Honey, when Breanna Stewart started school, UConn had 6 national titles in 13 seasons. The fact that Breanna Stewart also won national titles doesn't make her the GOAT, it just means she went to UConn. Does anyone think UConn wouldn't have won national titles during that time frame if Stewart had gone elsewhere?
Clark's run at Iowa is much more impressive. Iowa was a middle-of-the-road B1G program and she's one game away from taking them to a second consecutive title game while being the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history.
Just a completely ridiculous position to take. And of course Jay Williams chimes in with the same shit. Going to Duke is taking the easy way out. You want to be a GOAT? Win at a school where no one else has won.
