HOT NEWS: Sheryl Swoopes Refυses To Give Caitliп Clark Credit For Iпdiaпa Fever’s Rise
WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently spoke on her podcast “Queens of the Court,” where she talked about the improvement of the Indiana Fever while

Indiana stands as the No. 7 seed in the WNBA rankings with a 13-15 record. The 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 2016WNBA 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 оnе fаn. “I know people on twitter tend to use hyperbole, but the hate in that woman’s
