When Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, and his brother Patrick posed for a picture with YouTuber and podcaster Theo Von, the internet got served a hilarious reminder that even giants can shrink—if the camera angle decides so.
The Indiana Fever star’s beau shared the side-splitting photo, originally posted by Theo Von, on his Instagram story. The image featured the McCaffery brothers towering over Von, who stood at what appeared to be a vertically challenged stature. But hold your tape measures—Von, known for his quick wit and quirky charm, set the record straight with his caption:
“I’m not this short.”
Spoiler alert: Theo Von is listed at a respectable 6 feet tall on IMDb, but the picture—a cruel optical illusion—seemed to have other plans. Clearly, the McCaffery brothers brought their A-game to this unintentional height roast.
The McCaffery Clan Courtside
Connor McCaffery, who recently snagged a coaching gig with the Butler Bulldogs, was at the Butler-Wisconsin game alongside his brother Patrick, who’s an ace starter for the Bulldogs. Despite Patrick’s efforts, the Bulldogs couldn’t dodge the Wisconsin Badgers’ claws, falling 83-74.
For those keeping score, Connor’s move to the coaching world seems to be paying off, though we’re not sure if teaching camera angles is on his to-do list. Maybe Theo Von could be the next guest speaker for the team: “How to stand tall in short situations.”
Caitlin Clark’s Record-Shattering Rookie Year
Speaking of slam dunks, Caitlin Clark has been breaking records faster than most people can type her name. The Indiana Fever star finished her historic rookie season in the WNBA with a string of achievements that would make a Hall of Famer blush.
Not only did she lead the league in assists, but she also obliterated the record books, becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to record multiple triple-doubles. Oh, and she casually snagged Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year while she was at it.
Clark’s stat line? How about 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game? Add in her precision shooting—41.7% from the field and 34.4% from downtown—and you’ve got a rookie who’s redefining what’s possible on the court.
When the Indiana Fever’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle listed 27 milestones from Clark’s rookie year, Connor McCaffery couldn’t resist chiming in with a little sarcasm:
“Is that all???”
Honestly, we’re with Connor on this one. Should we also add “Most likely to make defenders cry” to that list?
The Dynamic Duo: Clark and McCaffery
Connor McCaffery and Caitlin Clark share more than just a love for basketball—they both honed their skills at Iowa University, where Clark set the NCAA ablaze and Connor did his thing on the court before stepping into coaching. Now, as Caitlin continues to dazzle on the professional stage, Connor is busy making his mark as an assistant coach.
Together, they’re basically the ultimate basketball power couple. Move over, LeBron and Savannah—there’s a new court royalty in town!
Theo Von’s Slam Dunk of Humor
As for Theo Von, he may have been the shortest player in the photo, but he definitely stood tall in the humor department. His self-deprecating caption and willingness to embrace the joke prove that height is just a number—especially when your comedic timing is as sharp as his.
Maybe next time, Theo can host a podcast episode featuring the McCaffery brothers and Caitlin Clark. The topic? “How to measure up to greatness—even when you’re six feet tall.”
Until then, we’ll be here, keeping tabs on Caitlin Clark’s jaw-dropping performances, Connor’s coaching antics, and Theo Von’s next photographic adventure. Because when basketball stars, witty captions, and optical illusions collide, sports news becomes entertainment gold.
