Sheryl Swoopes boldly declared that teammates of Caitlin Clark do not want to play for the Indiana Fever because of the drama that follows the No. 1 overall pick. The three-time WNBA MVP is completely wrong.
Behind-the-scenes video of Clark’s off-day shenanigans proves that she is actually a joy to have in the locker room.
Swoopes has been a hater since Day 1 and tried to tear down the greatest scorer in college basketball history even before the WNBA Draft. There have been so many unnecessary, manufactured headlines over the last seven months that stem from awful takes. The constant hostility has been exhausting.
Swoopes’ most recent claim might be the most ridiculous— and that says a lot.
She tried to say that players do not want to play with the soon-to-be Rookie of the Year because of the drama that follows her, even though she is one of the people actively causing the drama. It could not be further from the truth!
Erica Wheeler openly backed Clark after Swoopes’ comments. Other players on the Fever offered gratitude to their newest teammate for all she has done to make their WNBA dreams come true.
Lexie Hull also disproved the ludicrous narrative with a hilarious video on TikTok.
Clark decided to try her hand at broadcasting while watching an game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies in a hotel room on the road. The 22-year-old point guard pretended that she was the play-by-play announcer for the MLB Network and left Hull in stitches.
Sheryl Swoopes actually tried to say that WNBA players don’t want to play for the Indiana Fever because its star rookie brings so much negativity and scrutiny to the locker room. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark is just trying to bring a championship back to Indianapolis. And when she’s not dropping dimes to the teammates that supposedly hate to be on her team, she is cracking them up with hilarious hijinks.
Sounds like a nightmare! Who would want to deal with that? *eye roll*
