Bronny James or Caitlin Clark? Whatever side you pick, there’s a lot to argue. At the same time, some will say that Bronny played in the boys’ league and so on. The other side of the debate will say Caitlin Clark is a WNBA star and has been breaking records after her debut. But it could only be summed up when we get them to play one-on-one.
However, former NBA player Jeff Teague has to say otherwise. During a recent episode of the Club 520 podcast, Jeff stirred an interesting assessment of a hypothetical one-on-one matchup between WNBA star Clark and LeBron James’ son. Teague asserted that Clark wouldn’t score a single point against Bronny and predicted a scoreline of 20 to 0.
“Caitlin would not score a point on Bronny, bro. She might not even get a shot off, bro. … He would beat her by 60 [points]. He would legit beat her 20-0. Bryce James would beat her 20-0. He is 10 times more athletic than her. He can do everything better than her. She’s a girl, bro,” said the former NBA player.
There was ALOT said in this clip-

While he might be a fan of the James brothers, his comments seem to gloss over the hard work and talent that female athletes like Clark and A’ja Wilson bring to the game. In a time when women’s basketball is growing in popularity, such statements can feel a bit dismissive.

While Teague’s Bronny Jamess analogy might get fans bifurcated with their choices, the comparison is rather baseless. Moreover, his analogy taps into the ongoing debates about gender equality in sports and the challenges faced by female athletes.

Caitlin and A’ja Wilson both have made a name for themselves in their respective time in the league. CC is having a phenomenal rookie season at the Indiana Fever. She averaged 19.2 points per game and led the league in assists.

Similarly, A’ja Wilson is a three-time MVP and one of the best players in the WNBA currently. A’ja has numerous accolades to her name. Broony had an unimpressive start in the NBA. After his controversial debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, he was sent to the G League to grow professionally. However, with all the pieces on the table, it can be said that it is not a stone-to-stone comparison.
While Bronny’s stats would hopefully improve over time, the comparison does not sit well in the current situation. It remains to be seen how well things will turn out for the NBA superstar’s son in the future.
