Do you ever wonder what Caitlin Clark‘s basketball games looked like when she was a kid in Iowa? Caitlin Clark’s eye-opening interview with 60 Minutes included this rare footage of her playing basketball against boys that confirms some of the legends of her upbringing.
Caitlin Clark has been dealing with swarms of defenders her whole life AP / 60 Minutes
The home video of a young Clark getting swarmed by countless defenders and still getting buckets is gripping. However, it will come as no surprise to anybody who has watched the reported 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year throughout her career.
Caitlin Clark doesn’t back down to anyone
She won’t back down from a game against anybody, even grown men like fellow Iowa athlete Cooper DeJean, who challenged her to a 1-on-1 game around the time they were both getting drafted.
You can also ask the Indiana Fever and Iowa Hawkeyes practice players, college-age boys who were outclassed daily by Clark’s immense skillset.
She dove head first into the challenges of the WNBA this year too, averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game while battling double teams by the Fever’s opponents, not too different from her childhood experience in this viral video.
Whether she is battling off personal challenges from WNBA veterans or a swarm of pre-teen boys back in the Hawkeye State, Caitlin Clark’s unshakable confidence is one of the reasons she sets records and fans keep coming back.
