A blue blood saying that you have to win a championship to be considered great. Kind of easy for him to say that playing at Duke.
Jay Williams Caitlin not great yet

Says the guy that won one with Carlos Boozer, Shane Battier, and Chris Duhon.

What a stupid take. Especially with how stacked blue blood teams are with NCAAW. The fact the Iowa even got to the championship game is a testament to CC.
It’s crazy how people try to knock her down. Just ****ing appreciate what you’re watching with her.
There are two problems with this. First if Championships are all that matter all the best players will go to UConn or South Carolina etc. Second the NCAA , Vegas and TV Networks only allow a few teams to win. Of course, the teams with all the stars on it will get preferential treatment.
And the excuses keep on flowing.
Using a team accomplishment to evaluate an individual is just plain stupid.

Tired of idiots pontificating points that are just ludicrous. Yes, look at Caitlin’s points scored. That alone makes her great. However, look at her assists totals. Look at her rebound totals. Is there another women’s college basketball player who has the combination of accomplishments that Caitlin has? Spoiler alert…No! Williams needs to get back on his motorcycle and ride off the TV podium. It is not making him look like a Duke grad.
Larry Bird never won an NCAA title........
Maybe Williams should have tried this angle, because the lack of titles angle didn't go over so well.
That all seemed a scripted ESPN segment to me. Just a designated contrarian to feed clicks.
so by his logic, Dickey Simpkins > Karl Malone
Nope Bird didnt join the best teams so he could. Michigan State had Greg Kelser who was a college stud.
Larry Bird took Indiana State to the NCAA title game, but failed to win. Steph Curry got bounced in the Elite 8 with average teammates as well. Greatness isn't about NCAA titles.
If it was, it was poorly executed. Make the conversation about where her accomplishments rank, not whether or not she is “great”; which no ok me can really argue.
Even his motorcycle driving skills are better than this take.
The guy is an arrogant prick. He can’t ever talk basketball without inserting himself, or his career into the subject. I’ve barely watched that show in recent years due to him. You’d think he was an all-timer as highly as he regards himself. No doubt a great player, but had tons of help with Boozer, Battier, Duhon, Dunleavy and Daniel Ewing.
try to imagine his take if somebody proclaimed that the only you could be considered a great basketball player is if you had success in the NBA.
Chips baby, it's all about chips. He referenced 2 players from the UConn dynasty who were "great". They were great no doubt, but they were surrounded with other great players in a time when women's bball was UConn and everyone else.
Piss poor take.
Piss poor take.
Interesting that he never brings up his career concerning his FT against Indiana.
She is the only player in NCAA with over 3,000 points and 1,000 assists. Clearly not the goat. Go for a motorcycle ride Jay.
You can argue whether she would need a championship to be considered the GOAT - Jay said she needed one to be great...period. That's where the stupidity of what he said comes in. No one can argue with a straight face that she isn't a great player.
He is an idiot with an idiot take, just like Sheryl Swoopes. You don’t have to win a championship to be great. And that’s his argument. He won’t go near goat unless she wins multiple championships. And for that to happen, she’d have to come back next year.
Absolutely stupid.
If so, the greatest college basketball player of all time (Pete Maravich) isn’t even great.
He needs to rethink that.
I would say that Caitlin Clark is a great basketball player, Jay Williams is not great at driving a motorcycle! This is coming from the man that literally threw his career in the garbage! Now we can also say he's not a great analyst.
All these shitheads with these crap takes definitely think they need to take Caitlin down because they are on Reese's side. That's what this is. After that fabricated bs after the national title game making this a racial thing. It CLEARLY is to these people. In the last week I've seen Angel in photos alongside Swoopes and now Williams. After what these idiots say on the air I can only imagine the absolute shit they talk off it. And being on team Reese is part of it.
Off the top of my head, I guess Teddy Baseball wasn’t a great player, either.
Jay Williams and Chris Canty were both taking shots at Iowa the morning after the title game on ESPN radio. Pushing the race card and saying Reese was their girl.
Christian Laettner might have something to say about being the Greatest College Basketball Player of All Time.
