Sheryl Swoopes, WNBA Hall of Famer, found herself in a bit of hot water after doubting rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. Even though she had previously apologized to Clark for a misunderstanding, Swoopes sparked fresh drama by questioning the young star’s potential.

The whole thing kicked off back in April when Connecticut Sun’s Alyssa Thomas predicted that Clark could lead the league in assists. Clark’s teammate DiJonai Carrington tweeted in agreement, saying, “Caitlin Clark might lead the league this year.” But Swoopes wasn’t buying it and threw in a laughing emoji to express her doubts.

Fast forward to September 13, and Clark silenced her critics in a major way. Despite her team losing 78-74 to the LA Sparks, Clark dropped 9 assists and set a new WNBA record. She wrapped up the regular season with a jaw-dropping 321 assists, surpassing Alyssa Thomas to become the league’s assist leader.

That moment definitely shut down any skepticism and highlighted how talented Clark truly is. This was just the latest achievement in her already impressive career. Earlier in the season, she dished out 19 assists in a single game against the Dallas Wings back in July.

However, her fiery passion on the court hasn’t come without consequences. Clark has struggled with technical fouls, earning her seventh one during a key game against the Las Vegas Aces. After a personal foul call, she let her frustration get the best of her and hit the hoop, pushing her closer to a suspension.

Reflecting on it, Clark admitted, “I think I could have done a better job keeping my emotions in check, but at the same time, like, really?”

While Clark continues to show why she’s one of the brightest young stars in the game, her intense emotions could potentially be her downfall. With just one more technical foul threatening a suspension, everyone’s watching to see how she’ll keep her cool while chasing greatness.
