After the game we caught up with Sheryl Swoopes and this is what she har to say.

Why does she have to explain her opinions? She doesn't have to overly praise Caitlin Clark because a lot of her fans just got into women's basketball a couple of years ago and act like CC invented women's basketball. There are plenty of great players from this year's rookie class. The W in general have the best players in the world. It's not all about one player. Some of these fanatics need to educate themselves about the W's history. Learn about the women that build this league like Sheryl Swoopes that made it possible for you fans to enjoy seeing the women that are playing today.

Just to name some of the accomplishments by the great, Sheryl Swoopes

In honor of Maya Moore's jersey retirement, Jordan Brand gifted her with all the sneakers she wore in her career in gold and a custom Jeff Hamilton jacket.

She was the first woman to ever sign with Jordan Brand.

Now, the ridiculous online blabber and faux counter arguments are that A’ja plays the “slowest” position at center and with that, she isn’t guarded by the “best” or the most “athletic” players on the other teams and she has a leverage in her favor because of that with her not playing a forward.

(didn’t I tell y’all that because she continues to excel that they’d concoct something and anything to deny her greatness)

That one anon/undercover A’ja lover once sent me an anon saying A’ja shouldn’t have gotten her DPOYs because she doesn’t guard the “best” opponent because she’s a center and only guards other centers. (either it’s payola or anti-fans are having secret meetings planning to come up with the next weak reasonings—must be an e-manual with scripted verbiage)

So, once again:

A’ja routinely is at center but she can switch up and play forward too. She interchanges between the two. With that, she also guards both centers and forwards. She’ll typically play center and guard a center but at times, she’ll play at center and guard a forward or play at forward and guard a center.

She’s a center (that can be a forward too) that drives to the paint from the top of the key or down the baseline against guards, forwards and centers. She’s a center (that can be a forward too) with ball handles and can cross up guards, forwards and centers. She’s a center (that can be a forward too) that brings the ball up and down the full length of the court. She’s a center (that can be a forward too) that is very automatic with her bankable, signature mid-range jumper from any angle and can pull the center or forward guarding her far out of their spot around the paint and knock down 3s. She’s blocking any player regardless of position. She’s guarding any player of any position. And her opponents’ entire lineup guards her. From point guards to forwards. [and this doesn’t even scratch the surface of her 23-24 highlights; didn’t include any from 22 at all, the other yr she earned her first DPOY]

What she is is unguardable and multi-positioned and she’s inching her way to being a guard which is going to make her positionless.

The Past: How WNBA Legends Forever Changed The Sneaker Landscape

The movement started a couple of years before the inception of the W. After winning the ‘93 NCAA Championship with the Texas Tech Lady Raiders—dropping a record 47 points—a 22-year-old Sheryl Swoopes signed with The Swoosh. The future Hall of Famer and four-time WNBA Champion was a surefire lock for the ‘94 USA Women’s National Team. In the midst of their Bronze medal run in the FIBA World…
