With each passing day, Controversy King Antonio Brown is seemingly getting obsessed with Caitlin Clark. The WNBA rookie has recently taken the top place in Brown’s list of favorites after an array of attacks and counterattacks. Clark’s debut as a professional player did not go as well as expected. The Indiana Fever fell 92-71 to the Connecticut Sun. However, this did not stop Brown from praise-bombing the rookie.

Was Brown on the attendance list of Clark’s latest match?

Despite Clark’s brief rise to the top during the May 15 match, where she failed to score and was benched for two personal fouls, Brown’s admiration for her remains unwavering. In his latest tweet, AB wrote, “Congrats to @CaitlinClark22 on her 1st WNBA game on.” But in a twist that’s become all too familiar, Brown added a touch of suspense here as well.

In the caption, he wrote, “Who will spot it in the picture? #CTESPN.” It was then the fans started scouting through the posted picture that showed Clark turning her back, engrossed in signing autographs for the fans after the game. While the background is hazy, few fans did spot Brown on the stands. Even if AB paid a visit on Monday’s match, it would not be a surprise since Brown attended Clark’s WNBA debut a few days ago.
