Caitlin Clark becomes the target of ridicule in an NBA game. What did the Atlanta announcer say?

Bob Rathbun revealed his true feelings toward the Iowa Hawkeyes star.
During Monday night’s game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics, Hawks announcer Bob Rathbun got into deep water after making a joke about Iowa standout Caitlin Clark.

As Boston’s Jayson Tatum continually contested calls, Rathbun joked, “Boy, Jason Tatum complains a lot.” Who does he believe he is, Caitlin Clark? Caitlin Clark complained so much that her father reprimanded her.
The comment was in reference to a recent incident in which Clark’s father, Brent, was caught on camera instructing her to cool down during a game. Clark addressed the event, stating, “He definitely encourages me to calm down sometimes. The best aspect of

My dad is the most relaxed person.”
He knows her better than anyone.
Caitlin stated, “When he played (college basketball), he was the same fiery, competitive guy as I am. I am completely in love with him. “He has always been my biggest fan.”

“I believe he understands my personality better than anyone else. I believe it demonstrates what different camera angles can do at times. “They kind of create their own story,” explained the Iowa Hawkeyes’ point guard.

Clark, the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, has been an outstanding player for the Iowa Hawkeyes and is predicted to be the first overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft. However, her on-court behavior has sparked criticism, notably during the NCAA Tournament.
Caitlins is in the center of debate. Clark’s emotional outbursts, including a loud obscenity during a recent game, have raised discussions about sportsmanship and role modeling. While some supporters love her competitive drive, others say she should set a good example for new athletes.

Despite the controversy, Clark’s play on the court has been outstanding. She has averaged 29.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in the tournament thus far, helping Iowa advance to the Sweet 16, where they will face Colorado.
