Caitlin Clark dispute turns ugly for Stephen A. Smith as WNBA legend calls him a COWARD
A WNBA legend didn't hold back against Stephen A. Smith despite having previously thrown some shade at Caitlin Clark... as she called the longtime ESPN'er a 'coward.'
Last week, Smith - a vocal Clark supporter - called out Sherly Swoopes for failing to mention Clark while praising other WNBA stars on her 'Queens of the Court' podcast, prompting Smith to label her as 'insane' on his own show.
Swoopes - a four-time league champion - took offense at Smith's insult and criticism.
'You talk about whomever and whatever you want on your podcast. Correct? So why can't I,' she posted on X, Saturday. 'Also, did you listen to the ENTIRE episode? NOPE! I have a personal relationship with these players and they deserve recognition as well.'
Swoopes later added: 'Do you talk about them (or others in the league) and give them their props? I hope y'all take all of this energy to the polls and vote!'
Four-time WNBA champion Sherly Swoopes came out firing at Stephen A. Smith this weekend
Smith had initially called out Swoopes for failing to mention Caitlin Clark on her podcast as she praised other stars in the league but not the Indiana Fever star

The four-time WNBA champion then followed up on her initial response to Smith with a post that perhaps resonates with current and former pros.
'@stephenasmith BTW...you new to this, I'm true to this!' she posted on X.
Saving her most scorching quip for last, Swoopes noted: 'Not sure what he thought he was doing? ... I'm ready to go on his show!! Coward.'
Swoopes - a Houston Comets legend - has previously been called out for 'hating' on Clark
To Smith's defense, Swoopes previously dissed Clark while the Fever rookie was still in college at Iowa, as the former pro questioned the legitimacy behind Clark's NCAA D1 scoring record.
At the time, Swoopes inaccurately said that Clark had played five seasons at Iowa when in fact she had played four.
Similarly to Jason Whitlock, Smith has previously brought up how the mostly black WNBA 'resents' the white Clark and her success.
Earlier in August, Swoopes was slammed by Elle Duncan for hating on Clark. But, the ESPN'er retracted her comments and apologized to the Houston Comets legend.
