Sheryl Swoopes (and other Crazy Women) with some incredible takes
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Taurasi (like many others) underestimated Caitlin but also had a lot of positive things to say. We don’t all have to be delighted by her abrupt manner but that’s just who she is.
Have you noticed that she’s been very nice to Caitlin during their matchups this year? I’ve been struck by that.
Of course she has. She’s the type to only throw shade when the other person isn’t around. But even if she wanted to, Clark has owned her so bad head to head that hasn’t been able to. But I agree she learned a harsh lesson and was smart enough to back off.
Third sentence is spot on. Second sentence…. End of the LSU championship? She’s an in your face asshole if she has the upper hand. Or, at least she was 1.5 years ago. Maybe she has grown up some.
I’m following what you’re saying, but we were actually discussing Taurasi.
AR was definitely an asshole for a good bit of time there. On the court and off it (the shady tweets). Love how realization is starting to set in that she doesn’t hold to candle to CC, and suddenly she doesn’t want to play the “bad girl” anymore.
the Caucasian equivalent of Sheryl Swoopes would have already been fired
Obviously neither of us know what she really thinks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she decided to be supportive after some reflection. And maybe the contrarian in her didn’t want to satisfy the “I can’t wait for DT to knock Clark on her ass” crowd.
Just my opinion, I think Taurasi is a decent person who is just confident and a little mouthy. That’s part of her competitive edge.
Here’s something you haven’t thought of in all your attempts to build yourself up by belittling me…maybe Sheryl Swoopes just isn’t very smart. I know it’s hard for you to believe, but there are athletes out there who just aren’t that bright. Yet they still get a level of credibility simply because they played.
Troy Davis was an All-American, yet his wonderlic score was under ten and his interview skills were at a JR High level.
Talent on the court does not guarantee coaching excellence. Some of best coaches were mediocre players, while many HOF players washed out of coaching quickly.
And it’s pretty obvious to me that Sheryl Swoopes, as petty and jealous as she may be, also just isn’t very bright.
Maybe you should take a break from this. HOW have I been belittling you. Because I doubted that you know more then she does about basketball? Really? While she may be repugnant as a person we do know what she accomplished in the game, so there is some basis there. Meanwhile your posting on a website that you know more about the game then a HOF player, and you may as well be an 10 year old kid for all I know. The main point here, which you have repeatedly ignored, (and I'm sure you will again), is that what she knows about the game isn't the issue, she doesn't like Clark for a bunch of reasons we've discussed. Thats the basis for her crap. Its that simple.....
AND??? Vince Young got the lowest score ever for an NFL QB. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China. Have either of them been on social media blasting Clark? Swoopes doesn't like Clark for a bunch of reasons. It doesn't have anything to do with her knowledge about basketball. But you guys keep posting these same silly strawman posts.....
Swoopes is triggered. Caitlin Clark.....tearing up the W, breaking records, leading in stats and doing a number on SS' head...all in her rookie year
Hope Caitlin will coach the Hawks one day. She seems like she'd be an incredible coach.
Does she? The fact that she had to have empathy explained to her gives me pause.
Kate Martin on the other hand....
You’re assuming that’s her full motivation….and I agree it’s part of it, but I also think she’s not very smart. And if she’s as dumb as I think she is, then I’m pretty confident I know more than her whether she played or not.
If you don’t think race is part of it you are a moron.
Oh, it's a part of it. No doubt. But the anti-woke crowd just plays the race card constantly nowadays. Overcompensating?
Like entire states. amirite? 🤦♂️
That is the dumbest, most racist comment I’ve ever heard by anybody.
No wonder it was Wondergrape that posted it.
His mental inferiority seems like a lifetime problem for him.
Taking shots at Clark directly now?Dude, just admit you’re not a fan of Clark and her tearing up the league and proving all these people wrong is bothersome to you.
There is nothing I love more than watching Caitlin Clark tear up the league.
Bummer your girl has a hang nail & had to tap out of the season right before our girl Caitlin wins ROTY!
Hope Trashy R can get that hang nail under control to be at CC’s trophy ceremony.
She owes her whole life/career to Caitlin after all.
You do realize the Fever had a game today, right? Won in OT. Strangely, not a single post from you about their comeback win. Lol
I mean, come on. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…
I think of myself as a big fan but I missed that. Link to Caitlin having to have empathy explained to her?
If it’s mere jealously, given her ample time in front of a mic in her 53 times circling the sun, she is incredibly inarticulate.
Wright Thompson discussed it in his long form article this spring and also references it in a podcast interview that is a topic within this forum.
How old was she when this happened? Link to something?
