When your significant other is a WNBA superstar, you might think every moment is a chance to gush, right? Wrong—if you’re Connor McCaffery. The former Iowa basketball player and Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend has a knack for keeping it short, sharp, and sarcastic.
Case in point: the Indiana Fever, proud of their No. 1 draft pick’s electrifying rookie season, posted a glowing recap on X (formerly Twitter). The post highlighted Clark’s jaw-dropping achievements—making the playoffs, breaking records, and basically rewriting the definition of “rookie impact.”
Connor’s response? A mic-dropping three-word zinger:
“Is that all?”
Yeah, that’s it. No confetti. No paragraphs of praise. Just a subtle jab that oozes playful confidence, showing us why Clark’s biggest fan is also her toughest critic.
Caitlin Clark’s Rookie Season: A Slam Dunk for the Fever
Clark’s inaugural WNBA campaign was nothing short of historic. As the Fever’s cornerstone, she led the team to their first playoff berth in years, defying expectations like a step-back three in crunch time. It was a season that solidified her as a generational talent, delivering jaw-dropping performances and making Indiana a genuine contender.
But Connor McCaffery, now carving his own path as an assistant coach at Butler, couldn’t resist keeping things light. Maybe it’s the basketball player in him—always striving for the next play, the next bucket. Or maybe it’s just his way of saying, “You’ve crushed it, but don’t stop now.”
A Love Story on and off the Court
While Clark dazzles on the hardwood, McCaffery has been making moves behind the scenes. The former Iowa guard transitioned into coaching after his playing career, taking on the role of Basketball Development Coordinator for the Indiana Pacers. His duties ranged from running the scout team to sharpening video analysis skills, all contributing to the Pacers’ stunning 2024 NBA Eastern Conference Finals run.
The duo’s love story, however, didn’t start under the spotlight. According to McCaffery, their relationship blossomed from a strong friendship built during their college years at Iowa. “We were always friends. Our teams hung out together… It was just kind of easy how it all worked out,” he told Times Union in March.
Looking Ahead: New Heights for Clark and the Fever
As Clark prepares for her sophomore season, expectations are soaring. With Stephanie White replacing Christie Sides as head coach, the Fever’s blueprint for success hinges on Clark’s continued brilliance and leadership. Fans are eager to see whether this new dynamic duo can steer Indiana to greater heights in 2025.
And you can bet Connor will be there—ready to cheer, critique, and drop more sarcastic gems on social media. After all, behind every great athlete is a supportive partner… who also keeps them on their toes.
