Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is possibly one of the best young basketball stars on the planet. Her skills led her to be selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft before having one of the best rookie seasons ever in the WNBA.

Clark is not only a basketball superstar but also a media darling. She has appeared on many sports talk shows and has promoted numerous brands she is associated with, and it’s incredible to see the lengths she’ll go to.

While her recent appearance on the New York Giants YouTube channel may not have been a sponsored deal, it was still a hilarious insight into the star’s personality and competitiveness, as she had a little competition with Eli Manning.

It was Manning versus Clark in a game of the arcade classic “Pop-A-Shot,” the former NFL signal-caller somehow won the match by a score of 76-51. It’s clear Manning had some fun with it as he engaged in playful trash talk with the Fever guard.

“We do a lot of games on this show with guests. I’ve never beat anyone before,” Manning said, pointing out that he had been practicing all week. Clark claimed that she was “honored to be the first.”

Clark shouldn’t feel too bad about losing to Manning in the shoot-out-style game. She showed her passing prowess in a Gatorade during Super Bowl week, and it’s safe to say that she could challenge Manning and win one back.

While she may have lost in the “Pop-A-Shot,” Clark should maybe get back to focusing on her on-court skills as the WNBA season is set to get underway. The Fever get set to take on Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on May 17.
