JUST IN: WNBA Legend Rebecca Lobo review Caitlin Clark Comments on Indiana Fever which may lead to her career
Minnesota Lynx and Team USA head coach Cheryl Reeve has made it clear that she’s not the biggest fan of Caitlin Clark. Just last month, Reeve openly admitted that she “didn’t give two s****” about Clark and her fans dominating the atmosphere in a recent game between the Indiana Fever and the Lynx. Reeve was also influential in the decision to exclude Clark from the Team USA roster that won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This is why many were surprised when Reeve offered high praise for the rookie star before Minnesota’s 90-80 victory over Indiana on Sunday. Reeve commented on Clark’s ability to draw crowds during her senior year of college, calling it “really cool” and acknowledging that the league needs players who can create a “roadshow.” She also described Clark as “exceptional” due to her “pace and passing.”
WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo also weighed in on Reeve’s remarks, which have garnered over 1 million views since Saturday night. Lobo supported Reeve’s view and emphasized Clark’s elite basketball skills, particularly her ability to quickly advance the ball up the court through both passing and dribbling.
Glad to hear more talk about Clark’s pace recently (Cheryl Reeve below and @S10Bird on her podcast). Clark is 1 of 1 in terms of how consistently and quickly she gets the ball up the floor, both passing and dribbling. https://t.co/pdNcgMiPcL
