If you’re aiming to impress a WNBA player, it’s essential to bring your best skills to the court. The competition is fierce, and the stakes are high.
“It definitely gets a little intense,” Caitlin Clark shared with Fieldhouse Files in September 2024, as she described the competitive nature of her late-night basketball games with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. “I can confidently say I outshoot him more often than he outshoots me, but he likes to think otherwise.” This playful rivalry showcases their mutual passion for the game.
Nonetheless, there is no one else that Indiana Fever’s talented point guard would rather exchange ideas and strategies with than McCaffery. He, too, has a rich background in basketball, having played for the University of Iowa alongside Clark and now serving as an assistant coach at Butler University in Indianapolis.
While McCaffery may not have played at the same level as Clark, who was the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, he fully appreciates her incredible skills on the court—as both an athlete and a partner. His admiration shines through in his heartfelt messages.
“You possess an extraordinary ability to inspire and uplift everyone around you, and I feel fortunate to learn from you each day,” he expressed on Instagram while celebrating her 23rd birthday on January 22. “Thank you for being your authentic self…I love you.” This sentiment reflects their strong bond and mutual respect.
