“Did Sheryl Swoopes call that game?” – Stephen A. Smith fires subtle jibe at Sheryl Swoopes over Caitlin Clark’s 35-pt outburst vs Wings

Veteran analyst Stephen A. Smith had a subtle jab at Sheryl Swoopes following Caitlin Clark’s career-high 35-point display against the Dallas Wings on Monday. Smith listed Clark’s historic accolades, including her eclipsing Seimone Augustus for most points in a WNBA rookie season, before firing a shot at WNBA legend Swoopes.

 

In his jab, Smith pointed out Swoopes’ commentary gig with the Wings, whose team lost 110-109 against the Indiana Fever. Swoopes has been a longtime critic of Clark, who has been the leader in the Rookie of the Year race, and has risen to be one of the MVP candidates this year.

“I did not even bother to ask my staff. Did Sheryl Swoopes call that game because she was going up against the Dallas Wings? Because that was the first thing that came to my mind,” Smith said.

 

Smith previously called out Swoopes for not mentioning the Fever rookie’s name when talking about the success the Indiana Fever is having.

Aside from 35 points, Clark also tallied eight assists, and three steals to lead the Fever’s charge. The Fever is now 20-19 in the season and has secured the sixth seed. Indiana has also won seven of their last 10 games, sustaining their midseason winning momentum.

In her latest criticism of Caitlin Clark, Sheryl Swoopes did not consider the Fever star’s rookie season dominant, despite resetting numerous records and leading her team to an above .500 record.

In the “Gil Arena” show, Swoopes discussed Clark’s rookie season, before deeming it as a non-dominant year for her.

“Those are hell of a numbers, but to me, that’s not dominating,” said Swoopes.

 

 

However, when asked if she would consider Clark’s season as dominant if the rookie put up the same numbers as MVP leader A’ja Wilson, Swoopes answered “yes.”

 

Caitlin Clark is averaging 19.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in her first season in the WNBA. Despite early struggles to start the season, Clark has acclimated to the league’s pace and has been the team’s focal point this season.

Clark is also shooting 34.1% from the three-point line on nine attempts per game this season. Overall, she is making 41.7% from the field. Meanwhile, A’ja Wilson is averaging 27.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game, becoming the MVP leader and one of the most dominant players in the league this season.

Wilson’s Las Vegas Aces have a chance to face the Clark’s Fever in the first round of the playoffs if they find themselves to the third seed after their remaining two games.
