Caitlin Clark fans are not taking WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes’ polarizing comments about the Indiana Fever star sitting down.
Swoopes recently drew the ire of Clark fans with her rather questionable take on the WNBA Rookie of the Year race. The Hall of Famer claimed that the Fever could make the playoffs without Clark, which Swoopes believed wasn’t the case with Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
Clark fans were not happy with Swoopes, and they expressed their frustrations on X, with most of them calling the legend a straight “hater.”
One fan took it even further by questioning Swoopes’ intelligence.
It’s hard to argue against how valuable Clark is to the Fever. The team finished with six or fewer wins in each season from 2020 to 2022.
Indiana improved to 13-27 last season after they drafted Aliyah Boston with the first overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft. However, the team was still bad enough to be in the position to draft Clark this year.

Clark’s 8.2 assists per game through the Olympic break led not only the Fever, but the WNBA as a whole. That’s on top of her being the Fever’s top scorer, averaging 17.1 points per game through 26 contests. Even with Clark, the Fever aren’t exactly a top team with an 11-15 record to start August.
Swoopes’ claim that the league’s primary playmaker isn’t integral to her team’s relatively modest success has fans hating on her in return, with some fans even starting to uncover her scandalous past in the process.
