"Get yoself a W": Nancy Lieberman hypes $45M worth Coach Prime’s stunning new private jet

Nancy Lieberman won the WABA championship in 1984. She knows what a blockbuster victory looks like, and she'll call it like she sees it.

A compliment from Lieberman, then, is high praise, even if you happen to be one of the most renowned NFL players of all time. Lieberman commented on the new private jet Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes will be using this season.

Coach Prime, who is reportedly worth $45 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, posted a photo of the private jet's interior, along with this caption:

"I can’t wait until y’all see this plane! Wow God is good! WOW WOW WOW! Thank u to all that made this happen for our young men & woman. #CoachPrime"

Among the many well-wishers in the comments section, Lieberman's praise stood out:

"You deserve the best Get yoself a W."

Nancy Lieberman returned to the spotlight this year (partly due to Caitlin Clark)

For the past three decades, Nancy Lieberman has mostly stuck to the sidelines as a coach in the WNBA, G League, NBA and BIG3. She has also done commentary duties for the Oklahoma City Thunder. This year, however, the 66-year-old became the centerpiece of a story involving rising star Caitlin Clark.

Over the past two years, three-time WNBA MVP Sheryl Swoopes has challenged the validity of Clark's record-setting numbers in the NCAA, even speculating that Clark was able to set certain records because "she probably takes about 40 shots a game."

Then, during an episode in September of "The Stephen A. Smith Show," Lieberman explained how she reached out to Swoopes amidst her criticism of Clark.

"I got off the treadmill and I called her as a friend," Lieberman told Stephen A. "I said, you can say whatever you want, you can have your opinion about anybody, but you do have to get the statistics right. Facts matter."

As far as the facts go, Swoopes's "40 shots a game" comment is clearly hyperbolic. Throughout Clark's first three NCAA seasons, she averaged less than 20 shots per game; in her senior year, her field goal attempts got a slight bump to 22.7.

Immediately after Lieberman's appearance on Smith's show, Swoopes responded on X:

Just like that, whatever professional respect was held between these two icons of women's basketball went right out of the window. Neither Lieberman nor Swoopes appears to be backing down, and as the Caitlin Clark phenomenon continues to sweep the WNBA, their paths could very well cross once again.
