Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark had a phenomenal rookie year. Not only did she win Rookie of the Year, but she was also selected as an All-Star. Not to mention, the 23-year-old playmaker led the team to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

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 provided a new energy to the WNBA last season with her incredible rookie campaign. Clark took home the Rookie of the Year award and was named an All-Star in her first season, and fans showed up to support.
