When you’re Caitlin Clark, cameras are nothing new. Whether she’s dropping long threes or signing autographs after a big night with the Indiana Fever, someone’s always filming. But this time, the tables turned just a little. During what looked like a behind the scenes shoot with a group of kids, Caitlin found herself at the center of an unexpected and low key hilarious moment, all thanks to a mystery camera that just wouldn’t leave her alone.
It starts out innocently enough. Caitlin, in full Fever uniform with a basketball in hand, is standing near a stage with lights, kids running around, and what looks like a fun, informal shoot. Then she notices something. A second camera not the one for the main video seems to be pointed straight at her. She freezes for a beat, squints, and gives that universally recognized look: Wait, are you filming me right now?
Caitlin Clark wasn’t mic’d up but her expressions said it all
At first, she seems genuinely confused, maybe even a little suspicious. “Okay… what’s that about?” her expression seems to say, like she’s trying to figure out if she’s being pranked or if the camera person is just very committed to getting B-roll. But what happens next is classic Caitlin. She rolls with it, starts making faces, waves half-heartedly, then flashes a grin that says alright, you got me.
Throughout the shoot, this silent back and forth continues. She spots the camera again while sitting in the audience, then later from another angle as the kids are playing. Each time, she responds with a new face: exaggerated shock, playful annoyance, a quick smile. It’s a wordless, spontaneous comedy routine that feels like something straight out of a sitcom just with better shooting form.
By the end, Caitlin has fully accepted the mystery lens following her around. She even gives it a thumbs-up at one point, as if to say you’re doing your job, I see you. No words, no script, just pure, unfiltered interaction between athlete and camera, full of charm and quick wit. She goes from confused to amused to almost cheering on whoever’s behind the lens.
That’s the magic of Caitlin Clark, though. Turns out, sometimes the best plays happen off the court.
