Women’s basketball legend Cheryl Miller had strong words for Caitlin Clark’s critics. Miller blasted them as “big dummies,” claiming they ridiculed Clark, who is white, for her race.

As a rookie with the Indiana Fever, Clark made $11.1 million last year, and inspired hope that the rising tide of WNBA hype can lift all boats.

Caitlin Clark is set to enter her second WNBA season in 2025. She's already one of the best players in the league and has helped usher in so many new fans to the league and women's basketball in general.

Cheryl Miller is the older sister of Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller, and one of women's basketball's all-time greats.

There’s no denying it — the Caitlin Clark effect is still alive and well in women’s college basketball, even though she’s a year removed from her legendary time at the University of Iowa. And Seth Davis unequivocally agrees.

Caitlin Clark's rookie season in the WNBA shattered records, both on and off the court. Clark led her team to the playoffs and won Rookie of the Year, but she also introduced women's basketball to millions of new fans around the world.
