Former NFL star presents impressive stats to silence Caitlin Clark’s hate

Robert Griffin III has pushed back hard against the early Caitlin Clark criticism after just two games of the Indiana Fever’s season.

The noise around Clark started quickly because her three-point shot has not fully clicked yet.

But Griffin’s point was simple. Even without her best outside shooting, Clark is still putting up the kind of all-around numbers that should quiet the “all hype” argument.

Caitlin Clark hate gets hit with RGIII reality check

As Robert Griffin III wrote on X, the criticism of Clark after two games ignores how productive she has already been for the Fever.

“The Indiana Fever are 2 games into the WNBA season and the haters are already trying to say Caitlin Clark was all hype. Game 1- 20 pts, 7 assists, 5 Rebs. Game 2- 24 pts, 9 assists, 4 Rebs,” RGIII said.

He added, “She isn’t shooting the 3 ball well and she is still BALLIN. STOP THE HATE.”

That is the part Griffin wanted people to notice. Clark has not needed a hot three-point stretch to control games, create offense, and keep Indiana dangerous.

Through two games, she has totaled 44 points, 16 assists and nine rebounds. Those are not empty numbers for a player supposedly being exposed.
