Thompson, father of Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson, discussed Clark and the WNBA’s surge in popularity on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.” “JEEP is an acronym I’ve created to describe how she has been treated and not welcomed into the WNBA,” said Thompson. “It stands for jealousy, envy, egos, and pettiness: J-E-E-P, JEEP. That’s how the women, especially the old guard, have treated…
