‘Baby Kobe,’ ‘Isn’t Here to Play Dress Up’ — Dave Portnoy, WNBA World React As ‘Psycho’ Caitlin Clark Goes Viral

Dave Portnoy and the WNBA world reacts to Caitlin Clark's viral video where she passed by a dressed up Lexie Hull and the media.

Caitlin Clark is in her third WNBA season and continues to stand out on and off the court. The Indiana Fever star has been the league’s darling since turning professional in 2024, and the media and fans follow her every move, whether it’s serious basketball or just chilling out after each game.

Caitlin Clark Passes by a Dressed-Up Lexie Hull, Leaving Her Hanging in Front of the Media

Clark has been a viral personality since entering the WNBA after a successful collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Her presence alone can turn a lighthearted moment into an episode that everyone will talk about in the coming days.

One such moment occurred before Indiana played the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night. Clark, wearing a white top, a jacket, and camouflage pants, was entering the arena when she saw teammate Lexie Hull posing for the media in a pink skirt and carrying a pink bag.

Clark walked past Hull, smiling and saying she’d do some pre-game warm-ups. A stunned Hull reacted as if Clark had stolen an opportunity to pose for the media and show off her stuff, as attention turned to the superstar walking past her.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy did not let that moment go unnoticed, commenting on social media: “My girl isn’t here to play dress up. She’s here to drop 24 and 9 and win a game. (Once her 3pt starts falling she’s auto 30 a night).”

Other fans chimed in on the viral moment, with one WNBA enthusiast noting a resemblance between Clark and the late Kobe Bryant.

“Baby Kobe focused on her game,” the fan said.

A fan-made account that sarcastically reports on Clark’s actions struck again with its latest post, calling the guard “Psycho Caitlin.”

“I know Psycho Caitlin when I see her And that was her Right there,” the fan wrote.

A fan of the Fever superstar, VikingLes, stated, “She means business.”

A Fever diehard shared his take on the matter, expressing how determined Clark is to win the game against the Sparks after that 3-point loss on opening night against the Dallas Wings.

“Lexi, we love you… But we got a GAME TO WIN🔥💯 #FeverGang,” the fan said.

Another WNBA enthusiast appreciated the post’s entertainment value, praising the league for offering the best of both worlds.

“I respect the women who can glam up, and I respect the chicks that keep it ball and not trying to do all that. I love that the WNBA has got both,” he wrote.

The 6’0″ guard demonstrated the value of pre-game stretching, posting 24 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. She led the visiting Fever to a bounce-back win over the Sparks.

Hull recorded 1 point, 1 rebound, and 1 steal in 13 minutes of action off the bench. The exchange between Hull and the other player in that moment was just friendly banter, as both players have strong on- and off-court chemistry since they teamed up in 2024.
