While sitting alone on her couch watching the ESPYs, Caitlin Clark was made fun of by host Serena Williams for being popular with “white people.”
The tennis veteran taunted the Indiana Fever star, who didn’t take offense at being made fun of while in the public eye. “In her introductory speech, Williams stated that “Caitlin Clark is up for three awards and had an outstanding year.”
“You are the next Larry Bird—a phenomenal player with ties to Indiana and a huge fan base among white people.” The audience laughed at the joke and enthusiastically applauded when Williams mentioned Clark by name before the punchline.
In addition to the two ESPYs she won last year, Clark’s lifetime total now stands at five after winning in all three of the categories in which she was nominated.

Yes, I did watch it in real time. “I was just by myself, sitting on my couch,” Clark remarked. “I think it shows where women’s basketball is going and obviously women’s athletics in general,” the amount of women’s basketball that was featured on the show really caught my attention.
In the competition for Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Rookie of the Year, Dawn Staley declares a clear winner. “Serena clearly did an amazing job hosting,” Clark went on. “It just demonstrates the excitement surrounding the game and the volume of viewers,” I said.
Clark received the title of best “Female College Athlete” for the second year in a row. She also got the title of best “Female Athlete” overall this year.
The Fever actress astonished Clark by being the first woman to win the ‘Record-Breaking Performance’ award at the ESPYs. She found out about this news via her younger brother. Clark remarked, “It probably shouldn’t have been the first woman to win that award.”
“How on earth did Serena Williams never take home that trophy?” Throughout her WNBA first season, Clark is still making an impression. She scored 17 points on Sunday, which was a key factor in the Fever’s victory over the Minnesota Lynx.
