Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are gearing up for another WNBA season after surpassing expectations last campaign.
On the back of a Rookie of the Year award win for Clark, the Fever made the playoffs for the first time since 2016. However, their time in the playoffs was short as they were dumped in the first round by the Connecticut Sun.
Nevertheless, confidence is high in Indiana and the team has made several moves in order to improve the roster around Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
Swoopes weighs in on Fever moves
WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes has weighed in on Indiana’s offseason and their prospects in video shared on X.
“The team I feel made the biggest moves, maybe even the best moves, that would be the Indiana Fever,” Swoopes said.
“I think the Indiana Fever went from being in the playoffs last season to potentially winning a championship… I’m excited to see what they’re going to do.”
While Swoopes made it clear she’s a fan of how the Fever operated in the offseason, she did note that much of their success will depend on Clark.
“How much stronger Caitlin got in the offseason. You know she was in the gym working on her game,” said Swoopes.
The Fever landed names like DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard to try and add some veteran leadership to the team. Bonner remains a force despite being 36, and averaged 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and 1.2 blocks in 40 games for Connecticut last season.
As for Howard, she brings championship experience thanks to her three rings. She’s also a former Defensive Player of the Year.
Not only is Swoopes a fan of the Fever, it appears that bookmakers are as well.
The Fever have the third lowest odds to win it all this season, with the defending champion New York Liberty and two-time champions Las Vegas Aces having better odds.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
