Antonio Brown, the former NFL wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is no stranger to controversy.

This time around, he is being blasted for his message about Caitlin Clark.

Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark received an outpouring of messages on Thursday night, congratulating her on becoming the NCAA women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer.

Brown had a different message.

Brown jumped on X when he decided to comment, “B**ch look like Mel Gibson” in response to a picture being shown of Clark.

Disgusting.

Clark scored 49 points on Thursday to pass Kelsey Plum (3,527) to become the all-time leader in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history at 3,569. Clark is not finished yet as she still has the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA tournament as well.

Brown played 12 seasons for the Steelers, Buccaneers and Patriots. He had 928 catches for 12,291 yards and scored 88 touchdowns, along with 187 punt returns for 1,761 yards. He was selected to play in 7 Pro Bowls, and won 1 Super Bowl with the Bucs.

The Entire Internet Is Destroying WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie For Her Controversial Take On Caitlin Clark & Angel Reese

Basketball fans are teeing off on a WNBA legend over her controversial take on rookie superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Caitlin Clark, the first overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, is a virtual lock to win Rookie of the Year honors. The 22-year-old is playing like an MVP candidate, averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Angel Reese broke the WNBA rebounds single-season record on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx, surpassing the mark of 404 that Sylvia Fowles set in 2018. Reese is already up to 418 on the year.

After Reese broke the record, Basketball Hall of Famer and two-time WNBA Champion Lisa Leslie took to X/Twitter and stated that both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese deserve to win Rookie of the Year honors:

Needless to say, plenty of fans weren’t buying Leslie’s hot take:

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are both having remarkable and historic rookie seasons, but it’s hard to argue that the Chicago Sky star will win the award over the Iowa product.

The Fever haven’t finished above .500 since 2015, and they last made the postseason in 2016. Clark joined an Indiana team that went 6-16, 6-26, 5-31 and 13-27 over the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have played significant parts in growing the WNBA this year, and they’ll continue to do so for years to come. But without a doubt, the Rookie of the Year Award is Clark’s to lose.

Caitlin Clark & Fever Have A Playoff Spot In Their Grasp

Barring an awful collapse of historic proportions, the Fever (17-16) will end their eight-year playoff drought this year. They have been on fire coming out of the Olympic break and sit 5.5 games clear of the ninth-seeded Atlanta Dream, who are on the outside looking in.

A playoff spot is essentially locked up. All the Fever have to do now is try and secure home advantage for the opening round.
