WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently spoke on her podcast “Queens of the
Court,” where she talked about the improvement of the Indiana Fever while refusing
to credit rookie Caitlin Clark for the team’s success.
The Fever have won back-to-back games since the WNBA’s break for the 2024
Summer Olympics. They’ve taken down two experienced teams above .500 in the
Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm.
Mercury and 23 points and nine assists in their 92-75 victory over Seattle, Swoopes
didn’t mention the rookie when speaking on Indiana’s rise in the standings.
Swoopes credited players like Lexie Hull, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, who
have also been great since the team’s return from the Olympic break, but there was
never a mention of the Fever’s star point guard.
She believes Indiana will keep moving up in the standings if they’re able to keep
playing at this level, especially with Hull, Mitchell and Boston’s success.
“I think the Olympic break really helped Indiana,” Clark said.
basketball.
Aliyah Boston, almost a triple-double… If Indiana continues to play the
way they’re playing, like this, they too are going to move up in the standings.”
WNBA fans were infuriated by Swoopes’ comments about the Fever and were quick
to share their thoughts on the “lazy analysis.” “Lazy analysis,” said one fan.
“Haven’t heard anything from Sheryl Swoops in a minute. The Silence is
Deafening,” said another fan.
“Not surprising. It must have been too hard for her to acknowledge CC’s new assist
Caitlin Clark is currently competing for the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year award,
mainly battling Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
Clark has averaged 17.8 points and 8.3 assists per game, leading all rookies in both
categories and leading the WNBA in average assists.
Reese, on the other hand, has been a monster on the glass, averaging 13.6 points
and 12.3 rebounds per game.
Swoopes may not want to credit Clark for her success and improvements
throughout the season, but the rookie currently has the Fever in playoff contention.
top eight teams in the league punch their ticket to the postseason, so Clark could
surely lead the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016.
WNBA fans believe Swoopes is flat-out hating on the talented rookie instead of
giving her the credit she deserves.
“You forget, Sheryl Swoopes is a generational-level hater,” said one fan. “I know
people on twitter tend to use hyperbole, but the hate in that woman’s heart is real.”
“I’ll skip on the listen, Swoopes spoke away all of her credibility,” commented
another fan.
“They’re trying hard to contain CC at all levels,” explained another fan.
