Robert Horry advises Caitlin Clark to protect herself on the court

Robert Horry, a seven-time NBA champion, offered advice to WNBA player Caitlin Clark regarding her performance on the court. Horry suggested that Clark should 'fight back' in response to criticism she has received for her interactions with referees. He emphasized the importance of self-protection, stating that top players often face increased scrutiny and aggression from opponents. Horry referenced his experience playing with Shaquille O'Neal, noting that O'Neal learned to respond to physical play. Clark has faced hard fouls during her three seasons in the WNBA, and her appeals to referees have drawn mixed reactions from fans. Despite challenges, she recently contributed to the Indiana Fever's 78-76 victory over the Washington Mystics, scoring 19 points and providing five assists. The Fever currently have a record of 6-5 this season, with Clark averaging 18.7 points, 8.7 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game. Horry's career spanned 16 seasons in the NBA, during which he won championships with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs.
