Caitlin Clark usually leaves those around her speechless, but on Sunday night the opposite was true.
Clark and the Fever beat the Dallas Wings 100-93 on the way to their fourth straight win, but the fun wasn't over for the league's hottest team and player, as Clarke faced one more challenge during his post-game press conference.
The reporter, known as Scoops Callahan, ended up asking Clark a question he never expected.
“Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn, after all that mayhem in the Windy City skyline on Friday night, what biggest winged game were you expecting at today's party with the dynamos of Big D?”

Perplexed, Clark sat speechless for a while while the Fever's PR team walked him through the process.
Sports Illustrated We've gathered information about the history of “Scoops Callahan” and uncovered his origins.
“Scoops Callahan Tom Gribble“Gribble is a Dallas-based sports radio host,” the outlet reported. “For nearly two decades, Gribble has been known to ask athletes incomprehensible 1920s-style questions and to write about Tom Brady, Eli Manning, LeBron James and Aaron Rodgers.”
So the fact that “Scoop” saw Clark as an easy target for his own particular brand of old-fashioned “Johnny Press” ploys can and should be seen as a compliment.
Clark finished with 28 points and 12 assists. The Fever are currently the best-performing team in the WNBA as the playoffs approach.
