Sheryl Swoopes brutally trolled over Caitlin Clark by Hall of Famer | Other | sport

The Pro Basketball Hall of Fame appears to have directly ripped off WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes with the strange placement of a Caitlin Clark sign.

Swoopes took several swipes at the Indiana Fever star before and during the Rookie of the Year’s stunning debut season in the big leagues.

However, the Iowa native preferred to do all the talking on the court and averaged 19.2 points per game along with 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 41.7 percent from the field.

Angel Reese’s injury led to Clark being named almost unanimously as Rookie of the Year, with only one voter choosing another player over the 22-year-old.

Clark’s performances recently even earned some praise from her biggest critic, Swoopes, in a major turnaround from the four-time champion and three-time WNBA MVP, but that hasn’t stopped the Basketball Hall of Fame’s playful positioning.

Swoopes was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016 and a banner hangs at the Massachusetts venue as a result of her incredible career. However, now carefully placed beneath that banner is a poster of Clark proudly holding a basketball in her Fever gear.

The allegation follows several doubtful messages from Swoopes to Clark, beginning during Clark’s college years, when Swoopes claimed that her NCAA D1 score was “not legitimate” because she was “a 25-year-old player in her fifth year.”

Swoopes was exaggerating because Clark was 22 years old and in her fourth year at the University of Iowa before joining the WNBA and sparking a huge popularity boom that had viewers eager to see her in action.

But the 53-year-old remained unfazed, claiming that Clark’s college success was due to her taking “about 40 shots a game.”

Clark has been at the forefront of the Fever’s incredible post-Olympic form, but was not even mentioned by Swoopes in her praise for the team, instead mentioning Lexie Hull, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston by name while mentioning the superstar who shared the court with them. ignored.

After also stating that Clark had not been dominant in her first WNBA season, someone in the Hall of Fame seemingly took matters into their own hands by mocking Swoopes under her banner at the museum.

However, the tide could yet turn as Swoopes delivered some rare positives despite the Fever’s first-round playoff exit.

“I just thought what Caitlin was able to do in the league this season… she was just crazy,” Swoopes admitted on the “Queens of the Court” podcast. “Just shooting the basketball, her ability to get the ball where it needs to be when it needs to be there.”
