Sports journalist and OutKick founder Clay Travis dropped a bold and controversial statement suggesting that a state champion caliber high school basketball team could potentially defeat the reigning WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces.

Three-time WNBA champion and Aces point guard Chelsea Gray did not take this comment lightly, calling the 44-year-old analyst a "dumbass" on Friday, October 27.

Travis quickly responded with a proposal for a high-stakes wager, offering a million dollars for a match between the Aces, and a 2024 high school boys' state champion team of his selection.

The television personality stipulated that if the Aces won, Travis would give them a million dollars, but if his chosen high school team emerges victorious, the Aces would owe him a million dollars, which would be directed to the boys' high school team.

When asked about what would the exact result be, Travis gave a surefire answer on his X account, formerly Twitter.

"I think my team would win by 30+ only because we'd call off the dogs with about ten minutes to play. If they got paid more based on victory margin? 50+," he said.

Travis proceeded to make further claims, stating that the potential game would become the most-watched WNBA event in history.

He also mentioned that numerous high school coaches had been reaching out to him, expressing their interest in being the team selected to challenge the WNBA champions in this proposed matchup.
