- Erica Wheeler is a guard on the Indiana Fever. She's also embraced the role as a big sister for Caitlin Clark to help ease the transition from college.

Erica's acceptance of a big-name rookie drafted to play her position says SO much about her as a person.
She has no choice but to go with it.
CAITLIN will be the starter and erica has to be cool with that.
Yes!!! I am so astounded I am in tears 😢 my HS teammates were selfish and mean and jealous! To have a teammate like this terrific person is stunning GOLD! Big fan now!!! 😃

They will share equally
Does she have a choice?
Erika has great character!
Her parents raised her Right!!
I want to meet her parents! Just WOW 😮 🤯…. I never had that playing bball 🏀
So special
Wow what a likable and classy player!! 🎉🎉🎉
Erica ==== class. She’s also a great speaker 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
Just terrific to see this player! Omg I am in tears 😅😂
She was raised right and has the right attitude. And make no mistake, she's going to work
This lady has no hate on her voice, tone or facial expression. Class act. I wish her the best as well.
Isn't she great? Already won over thousands of fans just based on this video alone
Erica Wheeler. Never heard of you before this video. After hearing you speak I am a fan forever. Basketball aside, you are a top notch human being. You figured out what most people never figure out in a lifetime: humility is a strength. Looking forward to watching you play and seeing where the future takes you.
She's something special
This was so beautifully said
LOVE this young lady's perspective.
no doubt. As impressive in person as it was on video. She shines
Wow, I like this player's attitude. What a classy person.
Graduated from Rutgers in 2000 so didn’t see her play, but I am now an Erica Wheeler fan.
Did she play for Coach Vivian Stringer?!
@@marceybull probably
Erica is a very, very impressive young woman. She has class, and is clearly very intelligent. Caitlin really lucked out having Erica help her in her transition.
What a blessing!
Watched Erica Wheeler play WNBA games for several years now. So I knew she was a skilled and classy player. After this interview I now know what a truly classy person and team mate she also is!
This is so great to watch! That is fantastic that Erica is getting some light from the Caitlin Clark effect. So well deserved. What a remarkable leader and human being ❤️💛💙
They all are - and embracing it, as they should
Love Erica!!!! What an excellent human! I’m so glad she is taking Caitlin under her wing! And I’m thrilled to know she is in leadership on the team because she seems wonderful!!! This is so exciting!!!!
She really is. What a blessing for CC and more
I see a future coach. What a wonderful person... can't wait to watch them play. Actually, more excited about the W than the playoffs. This is how everyone should be talkin in the W. All the hate needs to stop. I want to watch them all... still don't have a favorite team.
Maybe.... or player relations director to help players with their life, discover other passions, follow their interests, etc.
If the whole team behaves like this, their team will keep getting better. It's the key to winning.
that's right. We > me is a mantra
That's a real pro, Erica Wheeler. This is the right place for Caitlin's solidly great skills to pick up the pro level. Erica and Caitlin, two guards with real firepower & right attitude. Indiana is building something special with those two and all the others, too.
Yes a real classy young lady. Good luck to her, and yes her parents raised a neat young lady!! SHE HAS A GREAT ATTITUDE
CAITLIN will be the starter but she needs a veteran to look out for her
@@user-hf8wf4df1o For sure. This is the pro league, and as great as Clark is, she is charging into situations that are not easy.
@@brianroesch3259 CAITLIN will be fine. She has a bank account bigger than scrooge. I'm sure her teammates got her back. I'm hearing rumors that when her signature shoe is released she has 80 pairs for her teammates at Iowa and her teammates in Indiana including coaches
So special.
Like a lot of fans, I admit I'm getting to know these players for the first time. This player, Erica Wheeler, is a class act and I look forward to seeing her play. I know lots of people already know this!!
She's got a lot of news fans in just a few days! that's for sure
Erica Wheeler, you are a class act! I'm a new fan and I'm looking forward to a great season ahead! ♥
Love to hear that!

Aw I love her. Seems like a genuine nice person
Nothing but admiration and respect for Erica. Demonstrating what it’s like to be a TRUE leader.
So caring and thoughtful. Does the little things and whatever the team needs
She is what class is all about. Team first
She got ball handling skills
This girl is awesome!!!!!
What a sweet person. 🥰
UNBELIEVABLE LADY.
What a class person!
What a wonderful woman!
Have always liked Erica Wheeler as a player. The only undrafted player to ever win all-star MVP. She showed a lot of muturity and a team first attitude. Shes a real pro to be so helpful to a player coming in to compete for her job. Class Act!
She gets it - as simple as that
Excellent interview with this young lady!! She's a kind, class act. They are lucky to have her on their team!
Wasn't that great? Appreciated her insight and candidness.
I like her! I’m so excited for the team
Great woman! I love everything about Erica no hate in her blood everybody winning 💪🏽😊
nope, none. Really impressive.
Cc having her is gonna work out great. What an amazing person
What an incredible woman!!!
So strong and comfortable with who she is and what she's about
Erica is showing professionalism good for her , Caitlin will need all the help from you guys .
They all need each other. It's a quick, jam-packed schedule. Every day matters.
It sure seems like Caitlin is on the right team!
Erica is wonderful!! Priceless to have someone like her in your locker room 💫⚔️🛡️⛹️♀️⛹️♀️⛹️♀️😎
Every team needs it
What A Class Person 👏 💯
absolutely
This will be the team champion. ❤
Thinking of someone as a human being instead of a baller first is humility right there. You are awesome Erica.
Isn't that great? As it should be
With all the attention cc is getting from the media and other team's players, she needs her teammates to be her biggest allies. Even if they're in the same position, they both bring things to the table, and they both want to help the team
everyone is handling it well. They need each other - and can rise together
True Vet ❤
Beautiful Soul
Erica is a leader and a class act
She sure is.
She should be happy and surprised to see a lot of news coverage.
Awesome top shelf lady
To all you new wnba fans! This league has wonderful players as you can see. I know C Clark may have brought you here but this league will not disappoint!
The Clark Effect is real - and there's space for millions more to come aboard
Candace Parker Parents? University of Iowa .......... this girl? Love her too ...........
The WNBA offers a great product. Caitlin is bringing millions of viewers to see this product. You will not be disappointed. You have the best women’s in the world playing. The game is played the correct way. Caitlin with her game and personality will take the WNBA to the next level. I can’t wait for May 14, 2024 the start of the WNBA season.
subscribe to wnba league pass and you can actually watch the first (preseason) game this friday may 3. you can watch alllll the rookies play a couple preseason games before the slaughter begins!
You can't buy class, you can't imitate it, you can't learn it...yiu either have it or you don't. Erica has it.
Very encouraging words EW. LOOKING PASS SELF IS A SPECIAL CHARACTERISTIC. BLEISSINGS AND FAVOR
Not easy, but admirable she's been able to do so
She has no hate in her bones at all. Ima give her a baby! 😂😂😂
where did Erica go to college?
Rutgers
After hearing this interview, i feel kind of bad wanting to trade her so we can keep the younger talent like grace burger
Yes, Erica's attitude and firepower, she and Caitlin will be real solid pieces on this team.
"Reality is coming!"
Caitlyn and Erica will play well together. Cailtyn can play point while Erica will make a great #2 guard. They wlll be a force
I think you'll likely see Erica off the bench once Kelsey Mitchell is back from an ankle injury
@@ScottAgness Erica is incredibly classy about this situation. What a great situation that Caitlyn finds herself.
the Aces moved their game against the Fever to a bigger arena and the ticket prices are crazy
several teams have done this. spread the word--get a wnba league pass (subscribe online) to watch all the games at home.
And so did the Mystics
She seems nice.
She should teach men and woman how to communicate wow she's very well spoken
S nice young Lady
Think its safe to say caits new team ain't gonna look like her Iowa team
Iowa has several black players. Hanna Steulke one of the best, Gabbie Marshall, Gynfi and a newer one.
DT statement about transistion is a fact and who does'nt . Its the support of the team that counts. The problem with DT is how she say it, with attitude and does not have to brag about it. Its pure envy.
Um
Go Cait! The league is on your shoulders sweetie sorry. You will uplift Maya, Candace, Asia, Stuwie, Lisa Lesley, Angel,Don, Diana, Sue, etc to a level never seen before off of your play. WE BELIEVE IN YOU! WNBA NEEDS SOME RESPECT ON THEIR NAME!!! LETS GO!!!!!
Feel bad for her now. she almost out of a j o b
Im not buying into her. All im hearing her making excuses. This relationship wont work. I promise. Caitlin Clark will get a new look. This team isnt good for her. They're doing too much. Last year record says enough for me to aee theres no leader theres a leader now. Thats Caitlin Clark. They all hate on her low key. " The light we get for sure" smh low key the hate is there from her and Boston. Straight up. You dont hold youre player by the arm and walk off court so media can talk... These girls are weirdos enjoying camera time
Indiana Fever built to Lose .Herb Simon owner billionaire .And he hires Allison Barber PhD C.O.O never played organized B.B
In comes Lin Dunn nice person and wants to turn things around and now comes Christi Sides clueless had months to prepare
Watch hours of film .And thought where’s Wheeler I just got her 2yr 400,000 deal she’ll be point guard and C.C can play decoy SG I want to slow it down and
Feed A.B in the post .if I owned the team fire them all start over while people still watching 0-5 start to worry
This definitely isn't aging well at all 💯
Maybe you have to be a woman to see through that load of crap. It doesn’t translate to how she hogs the ball on the court, misses most of her shots and rarely passes to Caitlin. I don’t trust her.
Erica is such a classy, well spoken young lady. I’ve never followed WNBA, but now I’ll watch every game that the Indiana Fever plays. Cheers to team
you'll like what you see, on and off the court. This is a great example.
