Caitlin Clark didn’t totally dismiss the fact that she’s currently the leading vote-getter at the moment for the 2025 WNBA All-Star game — at first count, she’s at nearly 516,000 votes, with Napheesa Collier behind at 484,758.

When asked about the honor on Saturday, the Indiana Fever star kept it classy while also acknowledging how awesome it is for her to see her name at the top of that list.

“It is what it is,” she said with a smile. “People get so hyped up over that, but that’s not why you play the game. I think it’s a fun way to get fans involved and really passionate.”

Then, she added this:

“But it is cool, and also it’s cool for me to see how much love my teammates also got. I think we had four in the top 10, so whether who ends up being an All-Star or not, it’s still cool to see the type love you get from the fans.”

That’s the way you keep it classy — appreciating the fans, acknowledging teammates and so on — while also being wowed by it.

We’ll see if this keeps up as she continues her second WNBA season, one in which her numbers are pretty identical to last year’s output — she’s averaging 19.9/5.7/8.7 and over a steal a game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field (same as last season) and 35.5 from beyond the arc.
