Those who don’t know Caitlin Clark well are often taken by her silly and goofy side, a personality trait that’s seen more light in her first WNBA offseason as a one-name superstar. After going toe-to-toe with David Letterman for his Netflix show “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” she’s eased back into basketball by quipping with the media, palling around in practice and making games out of innocuous content requests.
What she doesn’t play about is competition, and certainly not when it comes to basketball. She minced no words and added no humor when asked what success looks like for her and the Indiana Fever this WNBA season.
