Sheryl Swoopes and Nancy Lieberman escalate the dispute over Caitlin Clark

A rift in the friendship between two basketball legends may no longer be bridgeable in light of comments made by Nancy Lieberman and Sheryl Swoopes over the past 24 hours.

Differing opinions about the impact current star Caitlin Clark has on the game have driven a wedge between the Hall of Fame members, with Lieberman saying the two no longer have a relationship.

“My life will be good with or without Sheryl Swoopes,” Lieberman said Monday during an appearance on ESPN host Stephen A. Smith's podcast.

Later that evening, Swoopes retorted on social media, saying, “My life is good without you (and him).”
