We didn't know her . But i knew Players around her time.. Mj, Magic, Rodman... All the nba stars... But we never watch wnba in the Philippines coz we don't care... Now we know Caitlin and just found out who swoops is until she came up with incorrect information about Clark..
Yeah I was born in 2005 and I didn’t know who Sheryl Swoops was. I do now though. But it isn’t saying much because I don’t watch basketball in general. The WNBA player that was marketed when I was a kid was Candace Parker, now for the new generation it’s Caitlin Clark. They come and go
These people are so unserious when it comes to Sheryl Swoopes. I knew who Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie were before I started watching literally any sport.
Yeap. I remember a girl that was a grade below me in high school in the late 90’s wore #10 in high school because she really wanted #9 because she looked up to Lisa Leslie. She was the girls basketball team’s starting center from jr high to high school.
Right! It’s all about who media decides to give attention to. Certain things they put a white(usually positive)face on, certain things they put a black face on(usually negative).😮💨
For those who are familiar with basketball then we know who Sheryl Swoopes is. So it’s not a 2000s thing. It’s people assuming that black women are irrelevant to white women unfortunately. I see so many bash angel or other black basketball players just to uplift Caitlin
@@MB-nb7yq that's not what that man said, but go ahead. This speaks to a bigger issue with how they talk about things. They have no historical understanding. Ever. But they do talk a lot.

Those the same people who claimed that Clark was snubbed from the Olympics because everyone was just a hater. They all but basically rooted for the women’s team to lose because Clark wasn’t on the team. They all but said they would lose without Clark. As if the women’s team wasn’t practicing for the Olympics over the last 3yrs and as if the team has not won Gold since the 90’s! Clark fans are nothing but trend chasing casuals. They don’t watch basketball and they don’t even watch Clark’s games, they just watch her highlights. You can’t talk ball with someone who’s knowledge comes from 30 second clips from espn.
These are YOUNG people! They act like there wasn’t any players or ball playing before their generation. They have NO HISTORICAL CONTEXT on anything and act like their knowledge is the first of its name and there was nothing before what they know😂
This kind of talk is precisely why i stopped talking women's basketball on Twitter. The CC stans were talking hella reckless for being new to the game. You can have your favorite players but the disrespect towards one of the true goats is just disgusting.
I asked the question why is Cc the only one on her team allow to shine? Because of the shoutout for Kelsey Mitchell. You would have thought I called for World War Three. That is crazy!
@theanimerapper6351 Yeah, but it's overboard. She will post about something totally unrelated, and people be in her comments like, "yOu JuSt hAtIng oN CaITLyn ClARk." It's like, bro get a life.
Sheryl Swoopes is the FIRST female athlete in HISTORY in ANY sport to obtain a signature shoe contract. CC should be thanking Sheryl Swoopes for paving the way.
Which btw CC has expressed respect for those that came before her. For whatever reason though Swoopes will not give her any well earned flowers. I watched that video Low posted and she went as far to downplaying her own achievements to avoid complimenting CC. It’s wild.
Yes, she was great. But she look like a stupid girl about CC now. This would be hard to say, that CC play the basketball exceptionally? Why said that CC is just good? Because she is jealous CC's present, future numbers. Swoops fears that her numbers will be overpowered by CC.
I hate that people now-a-days will talk out the side of they neck without doing RESEARCH. All this Internet we have and people wanna type paragraphs about their opinions without any facts smh. AND THE HOUSTON COMETS WERE LIKE THE 2000's LAKERS I'm from Michigan so I enjoyed watching the Shock play Maya Moore is the GWOAT tho
Its not "people", its these little 20-something year old who weren't even born when Swoopes was playing. The same ones who say all the NBA eras before Kobe had nothing but "plummers" playing in the NBA. Bunch of kids.
@@daowonimdee I didn't wanna be the "generation" guy because idk how old bro was. I didn't do any research on the person referred in the video so I just said people. But I see your point
Yeah this is what pisses me off too. I didn’t watch the W before this season but it’s very clear to me this game has good history and I’ve learned so much from the fans that already existed!
A lot of nowadays people think that life starts from where they are. They act like life and history is not a thing. If they dont know about it then nobody does.
Admittedly, I've never heard of this cheryl swoops, as I'm NOT a sports fan and dont follow that stuff AT ALL. But I only know who caitlin clark is because of all the controversy surrounding her name
I swear people will say anything on Obama’s internet. If I didn’t know one WNBA, I knew Sheryl Swoopes! I didn’t know Dawn back when that episode aired. I saw Dawn coaching a few years ago and was like wait, isn’t that “what’s that under your shirt baybee” to Nipsey, lady?! 😂
Not to mention because she’s one of the most well known players from the wnba and a legend, she’s way more qualified to give her opinion on the league than than people that don’t know their sports history
Exactly, Kevin. In other words, speak for yourself! I have known her since the beginning, too. The WNBA did a good job of having certain WNBA stars play on sitcoms to get the word out. Someone tell the verified check dude that the WNBA organization didn't just start a few years ago🤷🏽♀️😠
No way is she down playing and she ESPECIALLY is not belittling her. From jump she said she would be good. From jump she said she has the potential to be great. She said it would take time before she will be able to dominate. I swear anyone who doesn't falsely calim clark is the goat is somehow a "hater".
Don't do it in the opposite direction lol. Top 5 Greatest Female College Hooper of All Time. Aka Female Pete Maravich. Aka The Great White Hope (Because the WNBA is still mostly black). She nice. Her fan base on the other hand...please refer to "Great White Hope" They call her that unironically.
how can she be top 5 all time in WCBB when she has NEVER won?? Sue was better, CP3, Maya Moore, Stewie, SWOOPS had a worse team than Iowa and she took them to a CHAMPIONSHIP. Not to even forget Cheryl Miller, the one who has the BEST argument for the top spot of WCBB. Can't even get in this conversation without a couple of championships AT LEAST.
Don't even need to be a true fan. I'm just vaguely acquainted with basketball and I know Swoopes. I can recognize her on sight and I remember how popular she was back in the day
Preach Kev! So sick of the CC debate and the bandwagoners. It’s getting old and tired especially from those who never truly watched or respected the sport or it’s elite players. Boy bye and get off my phone playing🙄🤪
They literally said nobody knew who she is, and that's just a lie. It's so annoying how new fans disrespect the legends of the game just because they only started watching 10 minutes ago.
@@zanderson5757the irony of this is this entire discourse started because that legend blatantly lied and disrespected the achievements of a new player
Ok. No one under the age of 30 knows who sheryl swoopes is.. Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, and Brittany Griner were much more popular to the younger generation which basketball tended to cater to.
The Sheryl swoopes disrespect is ridiculous Sheryl is one of the pioneers of women’s basketball some of these black men love to cape for this white girl nobody isn’t saying she can’t play but they act like she the only one Aja Wilson is the one who should be getting all the attention not her some of these black men love caping for whitey it’s a shame
Yeah, he didn’t know who Swoops was but when I read his comment I was like that’s a lie. I definitely remember her from back in the day when the WNBA first started. People believe their opinions are facts and they are not🤦🏽♀️
Funny, Skip Bayless refused to give LeBron James his flowers for 8,9 years, but they were cool with it. Swoopes gave Caitlin Clark her flowers multiple times, they don't like that she has criticism.
Swoops was the first female basketball player to have a Nike shoe deal, and that was before the WNBA. Lol 😂. Cynthia Cooper will mop the floor with any of those guards in the wnba now. Swoops is part of the reason why there is a women's league.
I knew who she was I didn’t know she had this type of hate in her heart and her not taking accountability of saying she didn’t do her research before speaking on cc is what’s really hurting her like other then that respect to her career but we as a whole need to learn that it’s ok to say” my bad I was wrong “
I am more and more convinced everyday that people don't comprehend English anymore. Please go back to her comments and show me where she tore down CC. She actually gave her props and said that what CC has done is impressive. She just dosen't categorize it as "dominant". That word has a specific meaning and Sheryl doesn't think it applies to CC's season. If you listen to all her comments she even says that in her own MVP seasons, she wouldn't say that, SHE HERSELF, was dominant.
Sheryl can say what she wants cuz honestly if the WNBA was on her time she was so ahead of she still would bust ass now she was the only female who played like a guy from pull-ups to layup to dribbling she was the first woman I seen not dribble with they chest in air he crouched down the blow by u or hit u wit a cross they still don’t move like her u can tell she didn’t grow up playing against girls she plays like a guy she was the first excitement in the WNBA she can say whatever
I even knew who swoopes was and I wasn't watching the wnba because I was still in elementary/middle school. I started watching last year when the aces beat the liberty in the finals, and started watching college women's hoops when I first saw Angel Reese play. IDK what these dudes be talking about lol
…and that’s why she HATING! And Kev you’re taking the statement LITERALLY… C’mon fam! Sheryl Swoopes did & does NOT have the notoriety & fan fare that Caitlin currently has w/o having completed a WNBA season yet Sheryl helped kick in the door, but she def isn’t as well known as Caitlin. We can attribute alot of it to this Social Media era we’re in
These people are fans of ball they're fans of chaos and drama. They feed off of headlines and don't do research and when tasked with doing the work they fold! People just like to start and be in mess!!!
That comment is equivalent to Anthony Davis saying “Jordan was the only one with skill in his day”. Respect means nothing to the youth today. Who raised you???
I've literally never watched a WNBA game, and if you asked me to name 5 WNBA players, Swoops would be one of them.
She is one of the few WNBA players I knew as a kid! Who doesn’t know who tf Sheryl Swoopes is??

@@zanderson5757the irony of this is this entire discourse started because that legend blatantly lied and disrespected the achievements of a new player
NCAA champ,multiple WNBA titles,Nike shoes, Gold Medalist
HOF! But nah, no clue 😂😂
Clark has done NOTHING but we know her? 😂😂😂
Sheryl “Hoops” Swoops? Never heard of her?
She’s like the Fairy Godmother of the WNBA.
I can remember Sheryl Swoopes sometimes being referring to as the female Jordan.
Ok. No one under the age of 30 knows who sheryl swoopes is.. Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, and Brittany Griner were much more popular to the younger generation which basketball tended to cater to.
The Sheryl swoopes disrespect is ridiculous Sheryl is one of the pioneers of women’s basketball some of these black men love to cape for this white girl nobody isn’t saying she can’t play but they act like she the only one Aja Wilson is the one who should be getting all the attention not her some of these black men love caping for whitey it’s a shame
Yeah, he didn’t know who Swoops was but when I read his comment I was like that’s a lie. I definitely remember her from back in the day when the WNBA first started. People believe their opinions are facts and they are not🤦🏽♀️
Funny, Skip Bayless refused to give LeBron James his flowers for 8,9 years, but they were cool with it. Swoopes gave Caitlin Clark her flowers multiple times, they don't like that she has criticism.
Whose they? I always see people constantly call skip a hater
Swoops was the first female basketball player to have a Nike shoe deal, and that was before the WNBA. Lol 😂. Cynthia Cooper will mop the floor with any of those guards in the wnba now. Swoops is part of the reason why there is a women's league.
Smh the hate for black women is real.
I knew who she was I didn’t know she had this type of hate in her heart and her not taking accountability of saying she didn’t do her research before speaking on cc is what’s really hurting her like other then that respect to her career but we as a whole need to learn that it’s ok to say” my bad I was wrong “
I am more and more convinced everyday that people don't comprehend English anymore. Please go back to her comments and show me where she tore down CC. She actually gave her props and said that what CC has done is impressive. She just dosen't categorize it as "dominant". That word has a specific meaning and Sheryl doesn't think it applies to CC's season. If you listen to all her comments she even says that in her own MVP seasons, she wouldn't say that, SHE HERSELF, was dominant.
I think Swoops was the 1st WNBA player with a Nike shoe deal!
Sheryl can say what she wants cuz honestly if the WNBA was on her time she was so ahead of she still would bust ass now she was the only female who played like a guy from pull-ups to layup to dribbling she was the first woman I seen not dribble with they chest in air he crouched down the blow by u or hit u wit a cross they still don’t move like her u can tell she didn’t grow up playing against girls she plays like a guy she was the first excitement in the WNBA she can say whatever
I even knew who swoopes was and I wasn't watching the wnba because I was still in elementary/middle school. I started watching last year when the aces beat the liberty in the finals, and started watching college women's hoops when I first saw Angel Reese play. IDK what these dudes be talking about lol
…and that’s why she HATING!
And Kev you’re taking the statement LITERALLY… C’mon fam!
Sheryl Swoopes did & does NOT have the notoriety & fan fare that Caitlin currently has w/o having completed a WNBA season yet
Sheryl helped kick in the door, but she def isn’t as well known as Caitlin.
We can attribute alot of it to this Social Media era we’re in
Not saying what Sheryl Swoops said about CC was right, but to pretend like she wasn’t known is asinine
These people are fans of ball they're fans of chaos and drama. They feed off of headlines and don't do research and when tasked with doing the work they fold! People just like to start and be in mess!!!
That comment is equivalent to Anthony Davis saying “Jordan was the only one with skill in his day”. Respect means nothing to the youth today. Who raised you???
Sheryl Swoops is a goat bruh stop it.
