Who do you think would win?

[@Jay-gx5sx]

Wow he's a former basketball player that's taller, heavier and stronger then her, what makes you think he can't bully her around the court? How about doing a game of horse outside the 3 point line and see if he can beat her.

[@DBE381]

DeJean is not used to bullying players around the court, because against males, he's on the smaller side. He can't just blow past Clark or dunk on her. Clark is 1 inch shorter. She's 145 lbs, but that doesn't matter because DeJean doesn't have post skills. DeJean can't guard Clark, her shot is too much. DeJean will have to guard Clark from so far out. Caitlin from there has better handles and has more skill. She's quicker and shiftier. DeJean is only a tad bit more athletic. Let's not forget Clark plays multi[ple sports. She is fast and finishes through contact. No matter what ball or 3 point line used, Caitlin is winning.

[@bisdaktodai4204]

So funny 🤣 but anyway it's not a big deal to me if Clark Los or win . Because it is a woman and man game big difference

[@kenbagwell8551]

My God, it's SO IRRELEVENT! Leave women's sports alone. Let's just celebrate this woman for what she is ... a female Larry Bird!

[@liberatopablico8282]

thank U… this is what we need, common sense!

[@mdmoz1777]

He doesn't appear to be an alpha male, probably just a publicity stunt.

[@russgaartexastrainingandbo949]

shes not Larry Bird, she white. Bird carried a shit team on his back and lost to Magic Clark a 25 year old senior was on a stacked team and still lost to a team without a Magic equilevent

[@bobbybaucom9440]

I like your response. Were you using some type of disguised humor. There's probably a name of it. I noticed you said, "Leave women's sports alone. Let's just celebrate this woman for what she is....a female Larry Bird." That was so funny, to mention to leave a woman alone and then call her a female Larry Bird. Now to get back to this video. Why would anyone spend a moment even contemplating anything like a matchup between Caitlin Clark and this guy. What's the point? Perhaps people who engage in this have too much time on their hands. They should drive down, even better, walk, to their local library or homeless shelter and volunteer a few hours a week. Now that would be a wonderful contribution to their community.

[@will-zj5gq]

never compare her to larry bird. she can’t hold a candle

[@iseektruth7435]

One on one is much much different game than a 10-player full court matchup!! Anyone that is a sports person knows this. A none story.

[@telalvarado605]

everybody wants to ride on Caitlin's popularity to become relevant...smh

[@neiljuedes1661]

He should have told them no comment !

[@danenpauly3072]

I went to college at Iowa. The athletes have their own dorm. One of the popular bars let's athletes in free so they all go there if they go out, but most don't often because of the commitment high level sports requires. You will often find classes where there are a ton of athletes taking it, from a variety of sports. What I'm trying to say is that the athletes are always around each other. I don't know for a fact, but if bet confidently that Cooper & CC are casual acquaintances at bare minimum. And considering her BF also played basketball there, I'm guessing they are both just having a laugh while they troll the media.

[@theresafox2816]

Why so much anger. 3:46

[@keiththompson5193]

She would probably beat him in horse.

[@72stones43]

Reese has a 14in vertical?

[@user-zd7ko1ei3k]

Ask Dejean to have a one-on-one with Caitlin's boyfriend. It's ridiculous that Dejean would challenge a female baller! Shame on him!!!

[@ad1k594]

He didn’t challenge her to shit. He was asked a question whether he would be able to win her 1v1 since they from the same school, and he said yes. What’s wrong with that? You should shame people who asked him about that, not him for doing his job as a professional athlete and answering to questions by journalists

[@will-zj5gq]

how do you watch the video and still get it wrong about challenging her.💀💀💀

[@chucks1673]

I love Caitlin Clark ..... love ........ but Cooper DeJean has the quickest first step I've ever seen (NFL corner? .... yeah..... 4.4 40 yd dash) ...... 38" vertical jump dunk machine ....she would score but no way does she stop him .......... hell, many NBA dudes couldn't stop him .......stay in your lane Cait

[@mando01ification]

why does this even fucking matter? You all are looking reasons to bring her down. This new class of rookies can change the future of the WNBA which I like many others have never cared to watch. Now we do.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

A professional male athlete that use to play basketball at high level could beat a smaller female basketball player 1v1? What next, breaking news that the sky is blue?

[@richardb1791]

He was not being mean, he was stating the obvious. He had played basketball and was very skilled. He would dominate her physically. That does not take anything at all away from Caitlyn, unless he identifies as a woman and gets drafted into the WNBA.

[@caknelson2254]

...People defend her like shes not supposed to be treated like everyone else..He would smoke her.. out jump HER,POWER,SPEED..not 1 chance.

[@theredscollection9045]

HATER

[@oriel730]

Sad but there are a lot of Free Loaders who just want to Hitch a ride.

Cooper is being modest. She would not score a point.

you challenge a woman? why not her boyfriend?

He was asked a question and he said yes, no challenge was made at all

Caitlin Clark is a great woman's basketball player. But she would get destroyed if she had to play against this dude, easily.

PLEASE hahahhahaha

Maybe straight out of high school but now he’s out of basketball shape

[@homes7073]

You would get destroyed by Female wrestlers and fighters if your precious handicapped balls didn’t have to be protected.

[@homes7073]

Well, a golden retriever would destroy yu and all men in a track meet and so would a grizzly in a football game. Are you going to bow down to all dogs and bears now? Yu want them to decide who owns property and has the right to vote? Yu want them to decide how humans should dress and behave and with whom they should sleep?

[@bushputz]

In the paint, Cooper's strength and weight advantage might come into play. From outside the arc, Clark would light him up like a Christmas tree.

[@abetterlife3088]

People forget, when Maravich played, there was no 3 point line, nor did they have 3 shots in shooting a foul for a 3 pointer.

[@russgaartexastrainingandbo949]

Clark would get drug across the floor like a deer stuck in your grille guard, good for a chic is just that

[@brandimastain7154]

Not a chance in hell can he beat her. What a doofus.

[@MsJohnson8483]

The head coach of the Uconn Women's college team has college men that practice against his women players. And he even admits that they are better than his womens team. There are just miles different physicality between men and women.

[@LordBitememan]

Different sport, I know, but: every Winter Olympic training season Canada's Women's Hockey Team does a training season against the men's AAA midget league. So this is the grown, elite women of the sport taking on high school kids aged 15-18. In 2009 they were 9-5 against them. Simply put, there is no way elite women beat elite men in a peer to peer contest past middle school age, the dimorphism of our species simply doesn't enable it. There's no better way to illustrate this then to point this out: the major North American sports leagues have absolutely no rule against women playing. Any woman talented enough can play in the NBA, the NFL, the MLB, or the NHL. None in general have (some were put out in exhibition games but not in regular season play). So no, she would lose.

[@lexhobbs7668]

If Caitlin has to play straight up D, she will mos definitely lose. Defense is her kryptonite, and there's no help one on one lol!

[@lorisharpe]

A man’s ego was bruised.. just let it go. They have both went on to the next level because they are great players at their particular sports… let it go!!! Come on ! You two are better than this! I’m hoping you’re both just joking and taking jabs.. Please

[@forever1909]

He can't shoot just dunk,cc will parking lot cooper

[@MsJohnson8483]

He shot 40% from 3 point line in highschool with a bigger ball than Clark plays with. He would destroy her one on one.

[@lowelldejong9248]

she'll wipe the floor against him

[@Nacash666]

This guy is going pro in the NFL. He would body her so hard she would wilt. he is way faster and stronger. taller and can jump higher. he would destroy here as would many high school stars. this is stupid. she is a great women’s player but athletic comparisons like this just belittle women’s sports and should be asked about other women. our olympic woman’s national soccer team lost to FC Dallas under 14 team. they lost to a MLS kids team. men’s sports and women’s sports are not close … if she is so skilled that people actually believe this .. then ask if she could be a cover corner in the NFL.

[@brianroesch3259]

So, Univ of Iowa graduates a guy who can't think. Pure shooting, Caitlin wins. Dribbling & faking to score, Caitlin wins. Putting on a goon face and crashing like a football player, he wins. Someone tell him to go get a life.

[@ddbutikofer825]

You're wrong. He'd win. He's bigger, stronger, at least as fast, he has XY chromosomes, he has very good basketball skills. Her biggest advantage is likely her range. After he defeats her he'd still easily have the energy to wipe your unthinking butt of the court as well........

[@brianroesch3259]

@@ddbutikofer825 Well, your reasoning is that he is bigger and thus can smash a woman. She would dribble circles around him, until he crashes through her. Your reasoning is why they separate womens sports & mens sports.

[@brianroesch3259]

@@ddbutikofer825 More knowledgeable than me or you, sports figures long ago separated mens sports and womens sports. That cuts out this football goon claiming he has trained to smash boys, so he sure could smash girls. In modern times, his fantasy is relegated to video games.

[@travisr4666]

I would bet against her in a heartbeat. She plays a sport with a bunch women that is so boring to watch that I fall asleep because they are not smart enough to lower the hoop so they can make it a little exciting. If she tries to rush him she will get hurt, if he rushes and she doesn't get out of the way she will get hurt and that first bump will scare her enough that he will crush her.
