Former NBA star Stephen Jackson slammed CBS host Gayle King for her comments about Caitlin Clark during a recent interview with Dawn Staley.
Legendary basketball coach Staley was interviewed after leading South Carolina to victory over Clark and Iowa in the national championship game at March Madness.
The victory capped an undefeated season and secured Staley a third title at the helm. But King told the coach, “We were all cheering for Iowa, of course, and Caitlin Clark.”
This prompted a furious response from Jackson, who posted an x-rated video in which he criticized King for “humiliating” Staley.
“Gayle King is supposed to be someone great in journalism, right? ” he said. “I don’t consider it black media. You give her all these passes because she’s Oprah’s friend.

“I don’t care who she’s friends with. You don’t do anything for anyone. But you can’t put down Dawn Staley like that.
Jackson, who won an NBA championship with the Spurs in 2003, added: You talk to him about winning the championship, going undefeated.
“And you have the nerve to say, ‘We were rooting for Caitlin Clark and you broke everyone’s hearts.’
‘Who are we? Who are we? Every black person I know supported Dawn Staley. We’re all fans of Caitlin Clark, but like you said, it was crap.
“I am happy that it is a new day in the media space. You don’t even say things like that to someone in an interview. You humiliated her and talked about Caitlin Clark. It’s trash, super trash.
Clark looked to end a remarkable college career with a first national championship with Iowa. Despite the loss, she was selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
