Caitlin Clark Haters in the Mud as Fever Community Outraged After YouTuber Exposes Major Blunder

Misinformation is a problem everywhere, but in the WNBA, where narratives practically print themselves, it’s an Olympic sport. Every player’s success? Almost instantly measured against the league’s headline magnet, Caitlin Clark. She makes it to the cover of Time magazine? Critics scream, “I think the whole league should have been on the cover.” She breaks a record? Suddenly, she’s a “25-year-old playing against a bunch of 20-year-olds.”

And now? Clark haters just got baited—hard. When a fake Paige Bueckers statline went viral on social media, Clark’s usual detractors couldn’t resist. They jumped in, ready to dunk on Clark… only to realize they’d been pranked into exposing their own bias. The kicker? A savvy YouTuber was waiting in the wings, receipts in hand, laughing all the way to the algorithm.

The Fever fanbase? Fuming. The haters? In the mud.

The chaos erupted after a recent Dallas Wings vs Toyota Antelopes game—where the Wings bulldozed the Antelopes 119-52. But what lit the match wasn’t the scoreline; it was an X post claiming Paige Bueckers dropped an eye-popping statline: 45 points, 15/20 FGs, 16 assists, 15 rebounds. The post crowned her a “#demon” and declared, “it’s only up from here!” And just like that, Clark haters swarmed in, using it as fresh ammo to tear down Clark. Except… it was all fake.

Enter YouTuber Micky Talks Hoops, who gleefully called out the madness in his video: “Eight points off the all-time WNBA record. Three assists off the assist record… on 20 shots? Like, how dumb do you have to be to fall for this? But they did. Community noted. 50,000 likes.” The kicker? Most of these trolls clearly didn’t even watch the Wings-Antelopes game—they just saw a shiny anti-Clark headline and pounced. 

Micky’s comments section? Pure comedy—fans laughing at trolls, while the trolls mysteriously vanished from the X post.

Fans Troll Caitlin Clark Haters Into Oblivion

One fan summed it up perfectly: “These WNBA fans are the most jealous, stupidest fans ever. Something like this has never been done in the NBA. Goes to show how good Caitlin is, because she lives in their heads. It really is idiotic.”

And here’s the kicker—every statline, every point, every shot somehow gets compared back to Caitlin, and it’s honestly getting out of hand. Can’t find anyone in the WNBA to rival her? Let’s pull in NCAA stars or even NBA comparisons. Case in point: In a recent Indiana Fever game against the Dream, Caitlin Clark pushed off Tehina Paopao, a rookie, for a three-pointer, and fans instantly criticized her for being too physical. The irony? Just a year ago, when she was poked in the eye by Dijonai Carrington and hit with a flagrant foul by Cheyenne Parker, the conversation was all about how she needed to “get more physical.” Talk about double standards!

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) is announced ahead of a WNBA preseason game against the Brazil National Team May 4, 2025 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.

One fan hit the nail on the head, saying, “It’s confirmed…. The haters are IDIOTS.”

And honestly, they’re not just clowns in the comments—they’re dragging down the league’s vibe itself. Even the loudest Clark critics have mysteriously hit mute. Sheryl Swoopes, who once shaded Clark on-air, is now off the Dallas Wings broadcast. And Cindy Brunson, another Mercury mouthpiece who couldn’t resist potshots, has quietly exited the Mercury commentary booth this season. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe the league’s finally done giving mics to the mess.

Another user chimed in, “Only Caitlin’s haters will fall for that, because Paige fans tune in to her games.”And honestly, it makes sense. Paige Bueckers had a solid showing—15 points and 5 rebounds against the Antelopes. Her 15 points were just 2 shy of Arike’s 17, and 2 rebounds shy of NaLyssa Smith’s 7, plus she tied Arike for the assists. That’s something to celebrate! Especially when you compare it to her 10-point, 4-rebound, 1-assist performance against the Aces. So why, oh why, did the Clark haters have to hijack the moment and turn it into another “hate on Clark” saga instead of giving Paige the props she deserved? is a mystery. 

And don’t even get started on the absurd fake statlines floating around. One fan pointed out, “OMG, this is so fake lol. It’s obviously fake. The stat says she shot 15/20 for 45 pts. That would mean she only shot 3s lol.” Here’s where the math completely breaks down: Mickey, the YouTuber, revealed how this imaginary game would have placed Paige just 8 points shy of the all-time scoring record (held by Liz Cambage and A’ja Wilson with 53 points) and 4 rebounds shy of Tamika Catchings’ all-time record. Yet, she’s just a rookie.

As one frustrated fan asked, “Why do you people hate Caitlin Clark so much? What has she done to you?” The answer is simple: Caitlin Clark is changing the game. Her rise has brought more visibility to the WNBA, for better or worse. Whether fans love or hate her, one thing’s clear — people are watching, and the WNBA is benefitting. Haters only add fuel to the fire.
