Stephen, you’re calling it exactly how it is. Don’t back down. As a woman, it’s been so disappointing to see the bball women hating on CC. I don’t care what anyone says, CC is the reason why the WNBA is becoming a sports everyone is watching and instead of respecting her they’re tearing her down. Awful. All jealousy.
@Smooth258 you don't have to listen to the entire podcast to understand Swoops doesn't like her. Go find the positive comments Swoops has said about Clark vs. Reese. She is just biased.
Facts and to be honest she has got me watching all the other girls around the league even got me respecting the older generation of talent still doing it at a high level in the league also. Its a shame that these women still feel the need to tear her down at every opportunity when she is no doubt bringing a college fan base but also casual/mainstream audience to the WNBA
I had a lot of respect for Sheryl until I found out how she treated people during her years as a college coach. I’ll never understand why people protect her so much
The same reason why they protected MJ who was an asshole to his teammates. Swoops led her team to 4 consecutive championships in the first 4 years of the WNBA season so I understand why. However, she is coming off as a hater, but I also think she believes CC is getting enough attention from mainstream media. Hence, she just wants to bring attention to CC’s teammates and other players in the league who need the attention but damn, you can’t ignore CC’s greatness!

CC is the Dieon Sanders of last year. Cinderella story and captivating. Feeds media. Nothing to do with race ( coming from a black dude).CC transcends sports and is relatable . Lesbians and ghetto girls are not relatable to the mainstream. CC has an athletic ability comparable to men , plays like curry. Few WNBA players can emulate this beyond Aja and inonescu. CC is like the Deion sanders of last year except she's winning. Allow the girl her praise 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Those two can play, but they don't have "IT"! CC has the IT factor along with a style of play that no other wnba player has. She the total package. Aja's mouth turns me off!
Deion's rise had to do with race and CC's rise has to do with race. Race is the only reason Swoopes is being attacked. Stephen A hates on players all the time and it's not a story.

I couldn't agree more ! Swoops knows that CC is better than she ever was. She also knows that Stephen Smith is right. Her ego just won't let her admit it.
Exactly. Just like almost every basketball player that has ever existed she has a massive ego. People are massively overthinking things to suit their own agenda.
it is 100% personal, clark broke swoops ncaa tournament scoring record and swoops was mad that people didn't note the tournament expanded and clark had one more game to do it. so swoops feels like her performance was better but clark got more praise than she did.

@@DocNininithe disrespectful ones will never see it that way. Swoops is a hater but most of the rest has been a normal part of competition, being hyped, being a rookie etc. People are being melodramatic about it.

@DocNinini this is the point those delusional Catlin Clark fanatics let go over their heads. The corporate sports media is out here pushing narratives. I personally appreciate Catlin Clark game. However I can't stand her delusional fans the same way I can't stand Lebron James delusional fans. When your opinion differs they call it hate. It great that more people are watching the WNBA. However you should do your research about the game before making takes about it. All Stephen A is doing is pushing a narrative.

Honestly, through all the true hate and discrimination it has not affected Clark’s play except fire her up even more. We are seeing her passive aggressive response and this has blessed the Fever! WHEN CLARK GETS PISSED SHE TURNS IT INTO FIRE ON THE COURT. No stopping her and she does not lose sleep over this at all. She makes a fool out of the naysayers like Sheryl Swoops and Andrea Carter where her stats cannot be refuted. Keep this up and she will continue to crush the records.
Having not been a fan of the NBA or the WNBA and having never heard of Caitlin Clark until this season. I was amazed at her skills. I have little to no knowledge of the rules or play of the game, but was in awe watching her. I cannot understand these women hating on her. She has been an ambassador of the league, team and players at a Wayne Gretzkyesque level. She will help all the players make more money. What will the me first, Ajai Wilson, Angel Reese or Cheryl Swoopes do for the other players. They should be happy that people like me know who they are. How do I know their names???? Caitlin Clark!
I would go all in if I were Pat and talked about nothing BUT Clark and the WNBA. If I had John McEnroe on my show - I would ask him what he thought of Caitlyn Clark - just to piss off ESPN.
I don’t even understand why they are all acting like this. You would think they’ve be so happy how many eyes CC is bringing to the game. As for Swoops she was a hero to basketball fans when I was growing up. Her words are repulsive at this point. It’s pretty sad she’s become so petty.
Why are people still repeating the lie that CC was using the you can't see me at her opponents when it was proven that was directed at her own strength and conditioning coach?
Why didn't ANY of the great black players get treated this terribly? What's different about them from Clark? Oh wait, the way she looks? Yeah. This is evil bigotry and anyone perpetuating it should be immediately kicked out of the league. Be that players, coaches or refs.
The WNBA finally, after decades of waiting, got their golden goose. And the WNBA is hellbent on killing it. Kudos to SAS for not putting down Reese to elevate Clark, like so many others are doing. You can celebrate Clark and Reese at the same time.
It's true tongue girl's incredible ongoing publicity will eventually raise all salaries, but I still think we should understand the resentment of her. The other girls work in total obscurity. Then she comes on the scene and immediately gets all the attention, all the photos and interviews, and millions in endorsements. It's almost like she's the only one who counts.

On August 25, 2024, the Clark Report posted on X that Caitlin Clark has joined an “ELITE” group of four players in the NBA or WNBA to record more than 500 points and 200 assists BEFORE their 30th career game. The other three are Basketball Hall of Fame players (Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Isaiah Thomas). Of note, WNBA games are 8 minutes shorter than NBA games. On August 25, 2024, the StatMamba posted on X that Caitlin Clark leads all WNBA rookies with the most 20-point games (13) this season. The next closest rookie is Angel Reese (3). StatMamba also posted that Caitlin Clark has the most 20/5/5 games (11) in a single season this year compared to Breanna Stewart (12) in 2023. Of note, Breanna Stewart was MVP in 2023. At this point in the season, Caitlin Clark should at least be in the DISCUSSION for MVP 2024??? If not, how many records does Caitlin Clark have to break before she is seriously considered??? What exactly IS the metric for deciding MVP???
Once again Caitlin DID NOT do the you cant see me to competition. She did it towards the Iowa strength coach. The narrative that she did that to competition is a straight lie
Caitlin does talk a lot of junk and she waved off Raven Johnson. Everyone is okay with that but they lost their minds when Angel Reese did the same to her.
@@Smooth258 And Caitlin herself didn’t care that Angel did that. It’s only everyone else that lost their minds. The whole Caitlin vs Angel narrative is a media creation.
that was no where near the worst things she has said about CC. She said CC play 5 years to break a record when others only played 4. she said CC was 25 was why she was better than other rookies when she is 22.
Monica pulled an emotional trick that women (or anyone losing an argument) commonly revert to: bring up the past, rather than focus on the issue at hand.
The main thing Sheryl Swoopes is trying to do is get Angel Reese to be the ROY! A few sentences after she made this comment she went on to talk about how great Angel Reese is, even though her team isn't playing that great!! She constantly tries to control these narratives with CC, first by blatantly lying about her age, stats, ang game... and now by not mentioning her at all... ridiculous!
Failing to mention Caitlin while also saying "My girl Angel Reese" says all yiu need to know. So much for unbiased journalism, on a WNBA approved podcast no less.
You might have missed the point of the SAS rant - he was talking about Swoops comments on Indiana specifically. FWIW - I agree with you on Reese. She is also balling out of her mind. But your comment here is irrelevant to what SAS was responding to

Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! My man ! Preach that gospel Reverend Smith ! Can I GET AN AMEN from the congregation !!
Imagine hating the person who's getting people to actually care about women's basketball.
Damn Swoopes…. U hatin.. cant defend that
CC is the Dieon Sanders of last year. Cinderella story and captivating. Feeds media. Nothing to do with race ( coming from a black dude).CC transcends sports and is relatable . Lesbians and ghetto girls are not relatable to the mainstream. CC has an athletic ability comparable to men , plays like curry. Few WNBA players can emulate this beyond Aja and inonescu. CC is like the Deion sanders of last year except she's winning. Allow the girl her praise 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Kind of? But unlike Deion (a great player in his day, and possibly a very good coach) she is not a shameless self-promoter.
Tf Deion do? He won like 3/4 games last year 😂
Those two can play, but they don't have "IT"! CC has the IT factor along with a style of play that no other wnba player has. She the total package. Aja's mouth turns me off!
Deion's rise had to do with race and CC's rise has to do with race. Race is the only reason Swoopes is being attacked. Stephen A hates on players all the time and it's not a story.
@@Smooth258Hating on random players is different than hating one of the best in the game and the only reason many watch it. That would be like throwing shade on MJ in his prime 😂
Racism at its finest. Clark's not invited in their little click. I hope Clark continues posting up these numbers and shows what we all can see.....TALENT

"Don't try to understand women, women understand women and they hate each other." - Al Bundy
Exactly. No one hates other women's success more than other women.
Man, that’s the truth! Many of the Sisters are losing it over Clark’s success, when the ought to be hella grateful that she’s bringing new fans into the league. It’s so stupid to not realize that the more fans and attention the league gains, the more $ for everyone!
True maga comment
Truth! LeBron, Kobe, & Jordan have zero haters. Absolutely none whatsoever.
I’m not a WNBA fan. CC won me over. These folks wanna hate on her, just get better than her. That’s how it’s done. This young lady is showing class, skill and everything else you could ask for.
Im not a WNBA fan but Caitlin Clark and this rookie class got me watching all their games and highlights. What shes doing alone is pretty impressive. Shes not only making her team better, shes making the entire league step up their game. Keep rockin it steady Caitlin!
My respect you more for calling out the situation about Caitlin Clark. Your professionalism is outstanding! Please for sports keep it up!
Swoopes is still salty about getting fired from her coaching job for mistreating her players. Some of whom look a lot like CC.
She is definitely not being nice when it comes to Caitlin. The crazy thing is all Caitlin does is show up and ball.

@@felixalfaro3119he was interviewing her in her junior year at Iowa before the hype.
nobody cares about your marketing and tv views for 1 person. CC is no scrub but she's average with potential.
@@BoBoBale if you're at the top of the league in anything, you're not average. She's already one of the better players in the league. She's gotten the same amount of wins on a 13 win team from the year before. She's definitely not average at all.
Swoops is afraid. She sees Clark as a threat to her legacy. It ain't any more complicated then that.
She already destroyed her legacy by breaking her record.
Absolutely
I couldn't agree more ! Swoops knows that CC is better than she ever was. She also knows that Stephen Smith is right. Her ego just won't let her admit it.
Exactly. Just like almost every basketball player that has ever existed she has a massive ego. People are massively overthinking things to suit their own agenda.
This isn’t the only instance of Swoops hating on CC… seems to be personal with her
*racial
it is 100% personal, clark broke swoops ncaa tournament scoring record and swoops was mad that people didn't note the tournament expanded and clark had one more game to do it. so swoops feels like her performance was better but clark got more praise than she did.
She's also hated on Sab before.
Caitlin Clark also wears 22 and broke her record. 😂
How is she hating on CC? By praising her teammates?
Preach it Stephan A. I'm from Houston and she is embarrassing the city.
SAS is one hundred percent right. And everybody knows it. Everyone.
Couldn't agree more with Stephen A.
CC is a rookie breaking WNBA records, Franchise records not just rookie records. Fever will definitely make it to the playoffs. Caitlin Clark is putting up MVP level performance.

Sheryl Swoopes is showing EXACTLY the hating that’s happening. Shame on her. It’s so obvious. The only reason I’m watching the WNBA is because of CC. Stop it Cheryl.
I'm not particularly a fan of Stephen A. Smith. But he got this one right ,100 percent
Adrienne Ross had the best take on this: CC is thriving despite all the b.s. (DT's "dog whistle") & in turn exposing the rest of the league-they're not as good as they think they are.
CC hasn't done a thing to any of these people yet they continue to hate her for no damn reason
People dont hate her just her disrespectful cult fans
@@DocNininithe disrespectful ones will never see it that way. Swoops is a hater but most of the rest has been a normal part of competition, being hyped, being a rookie etc. People are being melodramatic about it. I started watching because of Clark but all I see is chippy players being chippy during the games and in press conferences they either are annoyed with the press more than anything or annoyed at a loss, a story as old as sports.
@DocNinini this is the point those delusional Catlin Clark fanatics let go over their heads. The corporate sports media is out here pushing narratives. I personally appreciate Catlin Clark game. However I can't stand her delusional fans the same way I can't stand Lebron James delusional fans. When your opinion differs they call it hate. It great that more people are watching the WNBA. However you should do your research about the game before making takes about it. All Stephen A is doing is pushing a narrative.
Same for mj Kobe and lbj but when you’re great thats what comes with it ppl envy those in positions of power
The reason is racism. It used to be like this in the past, now it has returned.
Women love to tear each other down. They don't have respect for one another, unless they happen to be friends and get jealous of someone who's better or prettier. It's sad to see that it's still happening in 2024
Its a people thing thats not exclusive to Women... Lebron gets hate ALL THE TIME... Dems and Reps take shots at each other... its the human condition.
Just remember we are not ALL like that. There are some women who have shown clark respect. You saw it with ogwumike last game. Watch the micd up short
Your right on about that!
What do you call how Pistol Pete Maravich was treated when he entered the NBA. Men do the same exact thing.
Female nature will never change

Honestly, through all the true hate and discrimination it has not affected Clark’s play except fire her up even more. We are seeing her passive aggressive response and this has blessed the Fever! WHEN CLARK GETS PISSED SHE TURNS IT INTO FIRE ON THE COURT. No stopping her and she does not lose sleep over this at all. She makes a fool out of the naysayers like Sheryl Swoops and Andrea Carter where her stats cannot be refuted. Keep this up and she will continue to crush the records.
Having not been a fan of the NBA or the WNBA and having never heard of Caitlin Clark until this season. I was amazed at her skills. I have little to no knowledge of the rules or play of the game, but was in awe watching her. I cannot understand these women hating on her. She has been an ambassador of the league, team and players at a Wayne Gretzkyesque level. She will help all the players make more money. What will the me first, Ajai Wilson, Angel Reese or Cheryl Swoopes do for the other players. They should be happy that people like me know who they are. How do I know their names???? Caitlin Clark!
Women holding back women......again.
Pat McAfee told to NOT promote the WNBA by ESPN.
Women are hating this girl. Disgusting, really.
I would go all in if I were Pat and talked about nothing BUT Clark and the WNBA. If I had John McEnroe on my show - I would ask him what he thought of Caitlyn Clark - just to piss off ESPN.

I never found the WNBA watchable until CC came aboard with a full arsenal of basketball skills. CC makes watching the game fun and enjoyable.
I still don't watch it while CC is in the league now. She hasn't made me a fan of it
@@kurtis8284good job bro, you’re just one person, while statically it shows historical viewerships in the entire history of the WNBA
This is why women’s sports and women’s ability to team up in the entertainment industry suffers. They hate on each other so hard! Jealousy runs them.
I don’t even understand why they are all acting like this. You would think they’ve be so happy how many eyes CC is bringing to the game. As for Swoops she was a hero to basketball fans when I was growing up. Her words are repulsive at this point. It’s pretty sad she’s become so petty.
I just don't get why women don't support Caitlin. Swoops is far off point here. The disrespect is insane.
Why are people still repeating the lie that CC was using the you can't see me at her opponents when it was proven that was directed at her own strength and conditioning coach?
Don't worry about it. Even if its true so what? Ignore the trolls like Caitlin does. She has class, makes millions of dollars and has a million fans.
it makes headlines BS
A black, gay woman doesn't mention Caitlin Clark when praising Indiana Fever? That's crazy!
Why didn't ANY of the great black players get treated this terribly? What's different about them from Clark? Oh wait, the way she looks? Yeah.
This is evil bigotry and anyone perpetuating it should be immediately kicked out of the league. Be that players, coaches or refs.
The WNBA finally, after decades of waiting, got their golden goose. And the WNBA is hellbent on killing it.
Kudos to SAS for not putting down Reese to elevate Clark, like so many others are doing. You can celebrate Clark and Reese at the same time.
It's true tongue girl's incredible ongoing publicity will eventually raise all salaries, but I still think we should understand the resentment of her. The other girls work in total obscurity. Then she comes on the scene and immediately gets all the attention, all the photos and interviews, and millions in endorsements. It's almost like she's the only one who counts.

On August 25, 2024, the Clark Report posted on X that Caitlin Clark has joined an “ELITE” group of four players in the NBA or WNBA to record more than 500 points and 200 assists BEFORE their 30th career game. The other three are Basketball Hall of Fame players (Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Isaiah Thomas). Of note, WNBA games are 8 minutes shorter than NBA games. On August 25, 2024, the StatMamba posted on X that Caitlin Clark leads all WNBA rookies with the most 20-point games (13) this season. The next closest rookie is Angel Reese (3). StatMamba also posted that Caitlin Clark has the most 20/5/5 games (11) in a single season this year compared to Breanna Stewart (12) in 2023. Of note, Breanna Stewart was MVP in 2023.
At this point in the season, Caitlin Clark should at least be in the DISCUSSION for MVP 2024??? If not, how many records does Caitlin Clark have to break before she is seriously considered??? What exactly IS the metric for deciding MVP???
Once again Caitlin DID NOT do the you cant see me to competition. She did it towards the Iowa strength coach. The narrative that she did that to competition is a straight lie
Why did she do it towards her own team? Lol that's funny as hell.
@@BLee09Not her team… her team’s strength coach. And it was meant to be a joke.
@@Primus54 I got it. I still consider all of them part of the team.
Caitlin does talk a lot of junk and she waved off Raven Johnson. Everyone is okay with that but they lost their minds when Angel Reese did the same to her.
@@Smooth258 And Caitlin herself didn’t care that Angel did that. It’s only everyone else that lost their minds. The whole Caitlin vs Angel narrative is a media creation.
Excellent Steven. Noth'n like truth! Why does ESPN not address this hatred as a SPORTS HATE CRIME!
Bc they are the biggest haters and rasists and allow this nonsense. It starts with them
Swoopes is a bottom feeder. Using Caitlin to become relevant.
Tell it, brother……. Good show!
that was no where near the worst things she has said about CC.
She said CC play 5 years to break a record when others only played 4.
she said CC was 25 was why she was better than other rookies when
she is 22.
Monica pulled an emotional trick that women (or anyone losing an argument) commonly revert to: bring up the past, rather than focus on the issue at hand.
"ON ION!!!" i'm crying laughing
That part killed me 😂😂😂😂😂
CC the GOAT! MVP and ROTY undisputedly
I LIVE IN VEGAS AND ACES WERE GIVING THERE TICKETS AWAY BEFORE CAITLIN CLARK. THEY NEEDED TO FILL THE EMPTY SEATS !!! SWEAR
This is an honest rant! I love it
Well said Stephen A, you are correct, and speak the truth!
the fever would have fewer wins this season than last without clark absolutely no question
The main thing Sheryl Swoopes is trying to do is get Angel Reese to be the ROY! A few sentences after she made this comment she went on to talk about how great Angel Reese is, even though her team isn't playing that great!! She constantly tries to control these narratives with CC, first by blatantly lying about her age, stats, ang game... and now by not mentioning her at all... ridiculous!
Boston and mitchelle was on Indiana’s team last year. Finished dead last. Clark brings out the best in players. Her greatness rubs off on everyone
Caitlyn clark made me want to watch the wnba, she’s definitely the best on the court right now!
Who would have thought that Swoopes would be so good at destroying her legacy...
truth be told never heard of Swoop lol
Failing to mention Caitlin while also saying "My girl Angel Reese" says all yiu need to know. So much for unbiased journalism, on a WNBA approved podcast no less.
Facts Illl never root for CC
You might have missed the point of the SAS rant - he was talking about Swoops comments on Indiana specifically.
FWIW - I agree with you on Reese. She is also balling out of her mind. But your comment here is irrelevant to what SAS was responding to
can we stop being surprised with biased journalism? In all areas of journalism i honestly cant think of one example of unbiased reporting.
Ion should license SA yelling "ON ION!!!" 😂
Jealousy and racism are the main drivers imo
Great take Sir..but will be that sink in to these people? No coz they are in denial.
