Dawn simply replied, saying she was never worried about the game and merely explained their strategy for their comeback after being down by double-digits early. Former NBA star Stephen Jackson has now slammed Gayle King for disrespecting Dawn Staley.

“So, Gayle King`s supposed to be somebody that`s big in the journalism space, right? And I don`t consider [her] black media. Y`all give her all these passes [sic] because she`s Oprah`s friend. I don`t give a f— whose friend she is. But you cannot demean Dawn Staley like that,” he said.

“You`re talking to her about winning the championship, about going undefeated. And you had the nerve to get on there and say, we was rooting for Caitlin Clark and you broke everybody`s hearts.”

He continued, “Who is we? All the black people [were] rooting for Dawn Staley. We`re all fans of Caitlin Clark, but the way you put it, she was trash.”
