Stephen A. Smith has criticized WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes for omitting rookie Caitlin Clark from her praise of the Indiana Fever's recent success on the 'Queens of the Court' podcast. Swoopes highlighted other players' performances but did not acknowledge Clark, who is leading the league in assists and has been instrumental in the Fever's turnaround. Smith described Swoopes' comments as 'insane' and suggested they perpetuate negative perceptions about Clark, who has been the subject of criticism from some veterans in the league. This incident has reignited discussions about the reception of Clark since her arrival in the WNBA, with some speculating about jealousy and undeserved criticism from former players. Swoopes has previously made controversial remarks about Clark, describing her as a 'bully' on the court. Despite Swoopes' accolades, her failure to mention Clark has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
