‘Stupid’ – Linda Cohn sounds off on impatient Caitlin Clark critics with a Michael Jordan reminder

The Indiana Fever’s early playoff exit at the hands of the Las Vegas Aces has reignited scrutiny over Caitlin Clark’s postseason performance, despite her still being just 24 years old. Clark, who played a standout Game 2 but couldn’t secure the series win, has faced criticism for lacking playoff heroics in her three-year WNBA career—though she missed significant time last season due to injury.

WNBA analyst Linda Cohn pushed back sharply against such expectations, comparing Clark’s trajectory to Michael Jordan’s early struggles, noting the Hall of Famer played over 500 games before his first championship. Cohn argued that Clark’s 90-plus games this season alone should temper demands for immediate playoff success, framing the narrative as premature and unfair to a player still in the early stages of her professional career.
