The women’s basketball world is in turmoil again as legend **Cheryl Miller** spoke out in a recent interview, bluntly criticizing **Sheryl Swoopes** and **trying to defend Caitlin Clark** from endless controversies!

It all started when **Sheryl Swoopes**, a WNBA legend, made controversial statements about Caitlin Clark. She doubted Clark’s true talent, implying that the Indiana Fever star was overhyped and received special favor from the media. Swoopes’ words have divided the basketball community, especially between older generation fans and Caitlin Clark’s die-hard fans.

However, legend **Cheryl Miller** – one of the greatest players in women’s basketball history – **could not keep silent about these statements!** In the latest interview, Miller bluntly rejected Swoopes’ criticism, while also giving Caitlin Clark many compliments.

Cheryl Miller doesn’t hold back when talking about the difference between her generation and the current generation:

*”I’ve been following Caitlin Clark since she was in the NCAA. I know what a truly impactful player is, and Caitlin is that! Not because she’s a media personality, but because she has top-notch skills, a relentless fighting spirit, and the ability to change a game. You can’t deny that!”*

Miller also emphasized:

*”No one can deny that the WNBA is benefiting a lot from Caitlin Clark. Not only is she attracting fans, but she’s also helping women’s basketball move into a new phase. We need players like that, not baseless criticism!”*

After this statement, the fan community immediately exploded in debate. Some longtime WNBA fans supported Swoopes, saying that Caitlin Clark is not up to par with the legends. However, most young fans and Clark lovers welcomed Cheryl Miller, saying that this is an affirmation from a true legend.

**”If Cheryl Miller – one of the greatest players in history – speaks up to defend Caitlin Clark, then that means she really deserves it!”** – One fan commented.

Although the controversy has not yet ended, one thing is clear: Caitlin Clark is still a **shocking** name in the women’s basketball world. And with the support of Cheryl Miller, it seems that Clark will continue to go further, despite the skepticism of those who do not recognize her talent!
