WNBA legend Sue Bird had high praise for Caitlin Clark and revealed just how the Indiana Fever rookie is changing the stereotype about women's basketball.
Caitlin Clark has been the catalyst for a lot of the positives in the WNBA. Ratings are as high as they were when the league first launched, and overall attendance and interest are on the rise.

Caitlin, in particular her long-distance threes. I always said this. We finally got the antidote to dunking,' Bird told the 'Good Game with Sarah Spain.' 'All we heard our entire existence was, 'You guys are boring. You don't dunk. Oh, maybe you should lower the rims. It would be more exciting.' 'And the thing about the long three is, it is what it is. The distance is the distance. It goes in or it doesn't. It's the same for everybody.
