WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes has fired back at Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman after she claimed the Caitlin Clark controversy ended their friendship.
Lieberman appeared on Stephen A. Smith’s show on Monday and talked all things Clark and Swoopes, after calling the Indiana Fever’s game against the Dallas Wings on Sunday.
According to Smith, Swoopes was axed from being on the broadcast team for the game because of her past controversy with Clark and replaced with Lieberman.
The former Detroit Shock head coach did not deny the switch and went further by deciding to publicize details of their friendship, saying a phone call trying to help Swoopes understand facts about Clark is what drove a wedge between them.
‘Well, she got upset with me on the phone. And I was like “Sheryl, I’m not doing anything to hurt you. I’m just sharing.” And so our relationship pretty much is not happening at this point,’ Lieberman shared. ‘I tried to talk to her at the Final Four, she didn’t want to talk to me.’

Swoopes responded to Lieberman’s claim on social media shortly after saying it to Smith.
‘Now here you go! I get what you trying to do wit ya boy @stephenasmith but it ain’t working,’ Swoopes retorted. ‘You know good and well what happened. And ditto…my life is good without you too(and him). You wanna go there?’
Smith and Swoopes have traded online jabs for the better part of this year when it comes to Clark.
Swoopes has been critical of Clark on a few occasions, while Smith has been a vocal supporter of the Indiana Fever star.
Lieberman has called herself an overall supporter of women’s basketball at this point in her career and did not have anything negative to say of Clark.
Some online have criticized Smith for taking about Swoopes with everyone but Swoopes herself.
Whether or not the Texas Tech legend would accept an interview request from Smith is unknown.
