Caitlin Clark has earned praise for the lengths she goes to please her fans, especially the young girls who look up to the breakout basketball star.
But sometimes those fans can get a little too overzealous.
That was the case in a video recently shared on social media where Clark is seen swatting aside a jersey that a fan thrust in her face. In the clip, taken at the WNBA All-Star Game, Clark is seen walking along a row of fans in the lower portion of the stadium and signing autographs.
When one fan thrust a blue Indiana Fever jersey in front of a basketball being held by a young girl, Clark swatted it away with one hand and continued down along the line.
The video drew some strong reactions from fans, with some criticizing the pushy fan.
"Imagine getting denied by Caitlin of all people," a person shared on X .
"That person was pushing their jersey over what she was already signing for a kid she said not today!" another wrote .
Others praised Clark for the hard work she put in to sign so many autographs.

"Wow this is very impressive fan service. Wonder if she can keep this up her whole career. Seems exhausting," one person wrote on X .
It will be a while before fans can see Clark again, as her team has more than a month off for the Paris Olympics. Fever coach Christie Sides revealed that the team will be working on some new things during the extended break.
