Houston Comets legend Sheryl Swoopes has been the target of hate due to her previous comments about Caitlin Clark. Although that has died down, she is back at it with another strong take on the Indiana Fever guard.

 

The latest controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark is the previous game in which Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese tried to block her shot from behind but hit her on the head instead. After a review by the refs, the foul was upgraded to flagrant.

During a recent episode of Gil’s Arena, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas said Reese has embraced her role as a “bully,” but WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes, a guest on the show, quickly dismissed that notion.



She would not only disagree with his statement but also state that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was the true bully.



“[Reese is] not a bully… If you want to talk about bullies, we can talk about every time Caitlin has the ball she pushes off,” Swoopes said. “I’m just saying.”

 

WNBA Legend Sheryl Swoopes Took Previous Swipe at Caitlin Clark

WNBA fans weren’t happy with Sheryl Swoopes for her comments regarding Caitlin Clark earlier this year.



 

While approaching the NCAA Division I women’s basketball career scoring record, Swoopes incorrectly said Clark was in her fifth season with the Hawkeyes, compared to Plum, who achieved the record in four seasons.

“If Kelsey Plum set that record in four years, well, Caitlin should’ve broke that record in four years,” Swoopes said on Gilbert Arenas show. “But because there’s a COVID year, and then there’s another year, you know what I mean? So she’s already had an extra year to break that record. So, is it truly a broken record? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But yeah, that’ll go in the record books. And, I don’t think it should be.”

Swoopes also said Clark takes “40 shots a game.”



She would eventually walk back her comments and state she “made a mistake” with what she said.

Swoopes shared how she reached out to Clark through an intermediary, LSU star Angel Reese.

“A couple of weeks ago, I reached out to (Reese) and had a really good conversation with Angel over the phone and sent a message to Caitlin. She responded. She and I went back and forth,” Swoopes said during the broadcast. “I won’t share what she said, I’ll leave that to her if she wants to share. But I will say, what I said to her was, ‘I made a mistake in saying it was your fifth year when it is your fourth.’”

“I have nothing but respect for what she has done for the game. If she wants to share what her response was and how that conversation went, I’ll leave that to her. But it was a really good conversation.”



The rivalry between Reese and Clark will reach even more new heights as the two of them will face off at least two more times in 2024 in the regular season.

Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan is keeping up appearances and putting on a brave face amid what has to be one of the most distressing periods of his life.

Strahan’s 19-year-old daughter Isabella is currently battling cancer, and she has been keeping her followers updated as it pertains to her treatment, progress, and setbacks.



Isabella is fighting to beat medulloblastoma, a rare malignant tumor at the base of her brain. She’s undergoing chemotherapy at the moment, and it’s expectedly taking a toll on her body.

The treatment is also having an effect on her mind, as she’s revealed suffering memory loss in her latest YouTube update.

“I’m given this drug to protect my hearing, and just because I have a reaction to it, they give me Ativan. And for some reason, this happened last time too, I can’t remember a single thing about that day,” she shared.

Isabella’s video includes footage from her hospital visit, during which she was eating a sandwich that she couldn’t recall ordering
