Sheryl Swoopes did not like Stephen A. Smith’s recent comments, and she did not mince words when expressing her anger.
The four-time WNBA champion made her feelings for Caitlin Clark well-known over the course of the 2024 WNBA season, and it continued again this past week.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Queens of the Court, Sheryl Swoopes discussed the improvement of the Indiana Fever but failed to credit Caitlin Clark. Instead, she praised other team members, such as Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull.
On Friday, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith decided to hit at Swoopes over her apparent dislike of the former Iowa Hawkeyes star.
“Do you realize, Sheryl Swoopes, that you’re insane to do that?” Smith said.
He complained she’s been snubbed by some media, what he called “haterade.”

Sheryl Swoopes saw Smith mention her name and promptly fired back, calling him a coward in the process.
“You talk about whomever and whatever you want to on your podcast. Correct? So why can’t I?” she posted Saturday. “Also, did you listen to the ENTIRE episode? NOPE! I have a personal relationship with these players, and they deserve recognition as well.”
Sheryl Swoopes Previously Called Caitlin Clark A “Bully”
Houston Comets legend Sheryl Swoopes has made it known several times that she is not a fan of Caitlin Clark. While she hasn’t stated it outright, her past and current actions continue to show it.
One of her earlier comments was when Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese tried to block Clark’s shot from behind but hit her on the head instead. After the refs reviewed the situation, the foul was upgraded to flagrant.
During an episode of Gil’s Arena, Sheryl Swoopes, a guest on the show, stated that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was the true bully in response to Angel Reese being labeled as such.
“[Reese is] not a bully… If you want to talk about bullies, we can talk about every time Caitlin has the ball she pushes off,” Swoopes said. “I’m just saying.”
