Caitlin Clark's humility on display as she gets candid on constant spotlight: "I give my parents all the credit"

Ever since Caitlin Clark was in high school, the WNBA star was followed by a lot of eyes, especially on the court. After the Indiana Fever were eliminated by the Connecticut Sun in the first round of the 2024 WNBA playoffs, Clark was asked how she deals with being famous and all the exposure she gets.

She explained that she tries to be respectful to everybody while crediting her parents for the way she was raised.

"I feel like it's like everybody's watching your every move, no matter what you're doing," Clark said. "And I feel like the best thing that I try to live by is to just be the same person on and off the court. ... Honestly, some days are going to be tougher than others, some days are going to be amazing, that's just life."

"I give my parents all the credit," she added. "I feel like I was raised in a way like, you gotta treat every single person with respect and I feel like I have a good feel on basketball as in my everything, that's the way I was raised, basketball, the absolute thing I love to do, but there were some other things that I've done in my life, whether it was school, whether taking out the trash.

"My parents really invested in making sure I was a good person before basketball or sports and I just trynna live in the same exact manner. Just being a human."

Caitlin Clark has strong message against racism aimed at WNBA colleagues

Besides speaking about her upbringing and how she became the person she is right now, Caitlin Clark raised her voice against the growing racial abuse towards WNBA players on social media.

She said that nobody should receive those sorts of comments, calling them "upsetting" and labeling the people trying to bring down her colleagues as "trolls."

Clark added that the league has great players and people should focus on that instead of letting the negative stuff get to them.
