Caitlin Clark does not seem to be ready to support either the Knicks or the Spurs in this ongoing finals series. Clark was asked about her thoughts on the finals ahead of her face-off with the Liberty, and the Indy star admitted that she felt pretty “indifferent” as to who she would want to win finally.
However, Clark definitely has one wish – to join the rowdy Knicks fan crowd. New York fans have been displaying another level of craziness throughout this campaign, especially after their beloved team made it to the finals after almost three decades. It looks like Clark, too, wants to be part of these celebrations, and hopefully witness some ardent Knicks fan do something outrageous in front of her.

I was joking with Lexi [Hull], like, ‘Man, we should have gone right outside MSG after they won.’… I don’t know if my security guy would let me do that, but I want to experience it because those Knicks fans are so passionate and crazy. I admire it. It’s pretty awesome.”Caitlin Clark said.
Caitlin Clark says she doesn’t want the Knicks to sweep the NBA finals, and that she wants the series to go to a Game 7 because she’s “a fan of basketball.”

Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn ImagesCaitlin Clark’s worries in terms of her security is not unreasonable at all, considering just how bawdy New York fans have been behaving this season. In fact, the boisterous crowd even managed to almost trample down JR Smith as he was leaving a Knicks game some time back.
Caitlin Clark Brutally Called Out By Bill PlaschkeCaitlin Clark clearly has a large fan following behind her, but her quick rise in the league has also got her plenty of haters. While many have continued to share laurels about the hooper, Bill Plaschke decided to do a 180 and come out with a scathing report on the Fever star’s antics.
>The columnist revealed the feeling that Clark is “whiny” and also entitled. Plaschke is not the only one who has criticized Clark’s behavior in this campaign, with many other sports critics saying similar things about the baller.

Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn ImagesPlaschke definitely does a number on Clark, even going on to call her a “spoiled brat.” Clark has been acting kind of bratty ever since she entered her third season, with the hooper openly having loud arguments with refs and even her coaches, which has led to plenty of bashing on social media.
