Washed-Up WNBA Veteran Smears Caitlin Clark While Indiana Fever Players Laugh At Their Haters

The WNBA absolutely hates Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. That includes washed-up veterans like Kelsey Bone-Smith, who is no longer in the league.

Nobody is willing to give Clark credit.

Bone was drafted into the WNBA with the No. 5 overall pick in 2013. It has been a minute. She played five years with four different teams and averaged 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game. Her 15 points and six rebounds per game in 2015 did earn her a spot in the All-Star game but that year was something of an outlier compared to the rest of her career.

Bone has been out of the league since 2018 and currently plays overseas in countries like Turkey, Israel, and France. I am not here to knock the hustle. To play professional basketball in any capacity for more than a decade is impressive.

However, she is not in position to comment about the current generation. Bone never got to experience the modern day WNBA. She is hating from outside the club when she can’t even get in.

The 33-year-old posted the following take without any additional context:

Folks get on here & act like being guarded 94 ft is a compliment! It’s not, if a team is picking up one player 94ft ALL GAME it means the scouting report says that player doesn’t like pressure/contact, is slow, or can’t dribble.

Kelsey Bone-Smith claims it is not about Caitlin Clark.

I didn’t say anybody’s name in this tweet, and yet people are in my mentions talking about Caitlin Clark. Lol y’all gotta go touch grass or go sit on someone’s couch and work all this out!

I don’t buy it. The timing of this post makes it hard to believe it is not about the reigning Rookie of the Year. Caitlin Clark ranked No. 1 in fan voting for the WNBA All-Star game and No. 3 by the media. The other players in the league voted her ninth.

As you could imagine, the voting sparked a contentious discourse online. Why was the league’s biggest star voted so low by her peers? Because they hate her and they very obviously treat her differently.

Kelsey Bone dropped her asinine take about 94 feet right in the middle of the ongoing conversation about Clark. Fans immediately responded with the following video from the last All-Star game:

Meanwhile, while all of this chatter took place on the internet, the Indiana Fever was preparing to play the Minnesota Lynx. They went on to win the game without Clark to win the Commissioner’s Cup outright.

Multiple players went live on Instagram during the locker room celebration.
