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.

Caitlin Clark's rookie season in the WNBA shattered records, both on and off the court. Clark led her team to the playoffs and won Rookie of the Year, but she also introduced women's basketball to millions of new fans around the world.

Cheryl Miller feels the pain of Caitlin Clark and the seemingly endless “haters” of her on-court success. Miller was a three-time National Player of the Year from 1984 to 1986, and was incredibly dominant during a time in which the WNBA did not exist.

Cheryl Miller voiced her support for Caitlin Clark Thursday with some surprisingly frank talk involving race. The basketball legend and longtime broadcaster appeared on the All the Smoke podcast, and talk turned to Miller’s role coaching Clark in the WNBA All-Star Game last season.

While Cheryl Miller initially became a household name in the basketball world because of her incredible playing career, she has maintained relevance due to her charismatic personality and optimistic outlook on the sports and the various superstars playing in it.
