Nobody knew who Sheryl Swoopes was before Caitlin Clark

[anthonybolton]

Sheryl Swoops, Cynthia Cooper, Lisa, Leslie, Dawn Staley and Rebecca Lobo and many others are the reason why I watched WNBA

[KijafaD]

I've literally never watched a WNBA game, and if you asked me to name 5 WNBA players, Swoops would be one of them.

[syds]

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.

[servingmyuncle]

if you didn’t know sheryl swoopes before CC you don’t know ball.

[nonyabiz]

These 2000s babies may not know about Sheryl Swoopes but anyone that was around in the 90s knows very well about Sheryl.

[ParisVan-Del]

People who say that no one knew about Cheryl Swoops before Caitlin Clark played obviously can't even tell time on an analog clock. They need digital, or they won't know what time of day it is.

If there's no Sheryl Swoops, there's no Caitlyn Clark. Those ladies were trail blazers and one of the reasons women's basketball has dominated the Olympics winning mostly gold.

[millionairegym]

I’ve never paid attention to the WNBA and I know who Sheryl Swoops is

[queenofbuttercream]

2000 babies think life started the moment their generation was conceived🤧🤧🤣🤣

[nubreaks]

If it wasn't for pioneers like Cheryl Swoopes, Caitlyn would have to play overseas.

[ebonycommodore]

The reason I started watching the WNBA is because I saw this episode of Martin as a child and loved how bad they beat Martin and his boys. 😂

[SheisB]

I bet Caitlin Clark knows who Sheryl Swoopes is!

[ladyruler]

Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Rebecca Lobo were widely known back in the day. Swoopes even had her own shoe!

[parryyotter]

The AUDACITY to say no one who knew Sheryl Swoopes

[davidk]

We definitely knew who she was! She had the first female signature shoe

If you don't know Sheryl, you didn't know Cynthia Cooper or Kim Perrot or anything about those Houston Comets that were running the league at the time. Somebody tell this man about Cheryl Miller...the GOAT!!!

[Clouden]

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.

[anaknangfilipina]

People just believe that they’re the center of the world. If they don’t know, then OBVIOUSLY no one else does.

[diallo]

It's the same people who say that Taylor Swift is the biggest pop star even over Michael Jackson.
