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.

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

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.

Three ESPN analysts made a case for why Caitlin Clark can't be considered one of the all-time best women's college basketball players.

ESPN has reaped the rewards of the " Caitlin Clark effect " beyond YouTube segments. ESPN's broadcast of the 2024 Final Four game between Iowa and UConn drew the largest TV audience of any basketball game (including college and pro, men's and women's) in the history of the network with 14.2 million viewers.
