Shannon Sharpe unleashes a furious Fever take on those who despise Caitlin Clark.

Along with Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, Indiana Fever rookie sensaton Caitlin Clarkhas drawn millions of eyes to the WNBA. However, with those millions of eyes come millions of haters, even though the Fever have made a late-season push for the playoffs. Sunday’s 93-100 victory over the hapless Dallas Wings have pushed the Fever over .500 for the first time in five years, in sole possession of the sixth seed. Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking season has pushed even Shannon Sharpe to chime in against her haters.
In a recent episode of his Nightcap podcast along with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, the legendary tight end commented on the number of non-basketball plays or flagrant fouls committed against Clark this year

She busting y’all ass,” Shannon Sharpe said of Caitlin Clark’s performances. “[She’s] doin’ the thing on them… She’s sharp on both sides, cutting ass left and right… Don’t be resentful of it. Embrace it.”

For the first time since 2019, the Indiana Fever are over .500. Five years ago, the team started with a 4-3 record, though they finished that season 13-21, a record the squad have already lapped a few weeks ago. Perhaps more impressively, they’ve started the 2024 season 1-8.
