Elle Duncan apologizes for criticizing Sheryl Swoopes over out of context Caitlin Clark comments [View all]
On Thursday’s episode of The Elle Duncan Show, Elle Duncan took issue with comments Sheryl Swoopes had made regarding Caitlin Clark on her Queens of the Court podcast.
“I love her, but she’s wrong here,” Duncan said of comments Swoopes. “She had some thoughts. She’s had some thoughts previously about Caitlin. She would later have to apologize [for] those thoughts being uninformed… just being a little bit inflammatory and critical without any actual analysis. She apologized for that during the women’s college season and she’s now stepped in it again by saying that ‘Indiana is in the playoffs right now without Caitlin Clark’ by saying that, like, Katie Lou Samuelson’s really more integral in terms of two-way ability than Caitlin.
It just feels like there’s something there and I’m not really sure what is not connecting for Sheryl.”
Duncan went on to speculate that Swoopes’ apparent issue with Clark could stem from the backlash she received for her previous criticism of the former Iowa superstar and expressed her belief that the WNBA legend’s feelings toward Clark are beginning to feel like “hate.”
There was just one problem: At no point did Swoopes say that Samuelson is more integral to the Fever than Clark is, nor did she definitively say that the Fever would be in the playoffs this season without Clark. Rather, the WNBA’s legends came in the context of her using the Fever’s overall talent level to make the case that Angel Reese is more deserving being named this season’s Rookie of the Year — a debate that Duncan admitted is a valid conversation.
