Sheryl Swoopes continues to downplay Caitlin Clark’s achievements.
Comments on Clark’s College Success:
Swoopes, a four-time WNBA champion and three-time MVP, stirred up controversy in February with her remarks about Clark. She dismissed Clarkโs college accomplishments at Iowa.
Even now, at 53 years old, Swoopes stands by her opinion.
Discussion on “Gilโs Arena”:
During an appearance on โGilโs Arena,โ hosted by Gilbert Arenas, Swoopes elaborated on why she doesnโt see Clarkโs rookie season with the Indiana Fever as impressive. "Those are helluva numbers. But to me, thatโs not dominating," she said.
Comparison with Aโja Wilson:
Swoopes compares Clark unfavorably to Aโja Wilson. On Sunday, Wilson surpassed the 1,000-point mark for the season and leads the league with 27 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
Clark averages 19.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. Despite leading the league in assists and three-pointers per game (3.1), it still doesn’t impress Swoopes.
Fans think these stats are pretty amazing!
Swoopes does not consider Caitlin Clark’s 19.5 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 8.4 APG this season to be “dominant”
She is the only player in WNBA history to average those numbers or better
