Footage of Caitlin Clark going head-to-head with Kelsey Plum during the WNBA All-Star Game has gone viral on social media, with fans mocking the USA point guard for getting “cooked” by her younger rival.

Clark played a pivotal role in Team WNBA’s victory over USA Basketball, dishing out 10 assists—the most ever recorded by a rookie in the All-Star Game. Meanwhile, it was a tough night for Plum and her Olympic teammates as they suffered a 117-109 defeat, just over a week before their first game at the Paris Games.

The video that has taken off online, amassing 5.4 million views on X, shows Plum trying to apply aggressive defense on Clark during the first half. However, Clark skillfully maneuvered around Plum, creating a highlight that resonated with fans and added to her growing legend.

The viral clip has only added to the excitement surrounding Clark’s rising star power, while leaving Plum with a moment to forget in an otherwise disappointing game.

A clip of Caitlin Clark going head-to-head with Kelsey Plum during the WNBA All-Star Game has taken social media by storm. The sequence began with Clark playing a pass into her Indiana Fever teammate, Aliyah Boston. Clark then managed to shake off Plum and reclaim the ball, setting up Boston with a perfectly threaded pass for an easy bucket inside the paint.

After recording the assist, a fired-up Clark let out a passionate cheer, showcasing her competitive spirit as the WNBA All-Stars continued their push for victory.

However, Plum’s aggressive defense drew some online mockery after the clip went viral. Social media users were quick to point out how Clark outmaneuvered her despite the intensity of the play.

One user commented, “The fact that they feel she needs to be played like that in an exhibition game (still gets cooked) means they have already lost.”

Another added, “Playing that hard in an All-Star game and still getting cooked,” followed by a laughing emoji.

A third noted, “They are only making her better,” while another quipped, “When playing aggressive defense doesn’t work on CC with All-Star teammates lol.”
