Caitlin Clark’s competitive fire lit by Katie Lou’s half-court shot at Fever shootaround (Image credit: Imagn)
WNBA star Caitlin Clark keeps showing that she has a very competitive personality. Regardless of who she’s facing, the Indiana Fever rookie only has one goal in mind: winning.
Earlier today, the young guard was recorded complaining to teammate Katie Lou Samuelson after the forward nailed a half-court shot during today’s shootaround. The video, shared by Scott Agness, shows Samuelson hitting this long-range shot to fire up her teammates. Everybody but Caitlin Clark was excited, as she clarified that the contest wasn’t finished.
“No! We’re not done here, we’re not done here,” Caitlin was heard saying while her teammates celebrated.
This isn’t the first time Clark has shown her competitive spirit against her teammates. Back in June, she saw NaLyssa Smith hit a half-court shot and then tried to do the same. She made it and started running around, looking for Smith.
One day after that, ahead of a duel against the Chicago Sky, Clark was in another friendly contest with Temi Fagbenle. Clark allegedly saw something illegal and didn’t hesitate to point it out.
“She passed the line,” Clark said, as she waved to discount the shot.
Despite being easygoing, Caitlin Clark is as competitive as they come. No matter who is in front of her, she will try to use every resource to get a win.
Aliyah Boston shares her favorite play to run with Caitlin Clark
While she competes with her teammates, Caitlin Clark has developed close relationships with some of them. Aliyah Boston decided to start a Q&A session with fans on X, revealing some details about her relationship with Clark and how they try to get on the same page on the court.
“What’s your favorite play to run with CC (Caitlin Clark)?” one fan asked.
Boston replied:
“Any type of ball screen action because she always makes a great read.”
When asked about their pick-and-roll, Boston said:
“Idk if it’s the best in the league, but I know we continue to work on it to get it there!”
To close things out, she talked about Clark and the added attention on her as a professional player.
“I don’t think it’s added pressure,” Boston said. “We are used to playing with eyes on us in college, so it doesn’t change because we are in the W.”
The Indiana Fever returns to action tomorrow against the New York Liberty. They’ll try to bounce back against one of the top teams in the league after losing to the Las Vegas Aces, 88-69, on Tuesday.
