WNBA veteran Diana Taurasi has called out Caitlin Clark fans for being too 'sensitive' after she was the recipient of backlash online for her 'reality' warning to this year's No. 1 draft pick.
Earlier this month, the 41-year-old Taurasi, who's set to enter her 20th season with the Phoenix Mercury in a matter of weeks, cautioned Clark, as she claimed the ex-Iowa star would face her fair share of struggles on her and Sue Bird's talk show on ESPN.
'Reality is coming,' she said on April 6, nine days before the WNBA Draft took place in Brooklyn. 'There's levels to things. That's just life. We all went through it.'
'You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds, but you're gonna come play with some grown women that have been playing basketball for a long time -- not saying that's not gonna translate.'
Taurasi added: 'There's gonna be a transition period where you're gonna have to give yourself some grace as a rookie.'
Caitlin Clark has been warned that she will have to bid her time to become great in the WNBA
