Caitlin Clark found herself at the center of another viral moment after the Indiana Fever’s overtime win over the Atlanta Dream earlier this month.
As Angel Reese reacted to a missed potential game-winning layup in the final seconds of regulation, cameras captured Caitlin Clark smiling in the background as the Dream forward was consoled by teammate Rhyne Howard.
It was not immediately clear what prompted Clark’s reaction, but social media quickly turned the clip into a viral meme.

The exchange added another chapter to the long-running Clark-Reese rivalry, which dates to Reese’s “You can’t see me” gesture toward the then-Iowa star during the 2023 national championship game.
On this week’s episode of the “Post Moves” podcast, Boston addressed Clark’s viral moment alongside co-host and Basketball Hall of Famer Candace Parker.
During a discussion about the Aug. 16 Fever-Dream matchup, Parker mentioned the much-discussed moment. “Did you see Caitlin’s reaction to the Dream’s missed putback?” the three-time WNBA champion asked the Fever center.

“… In real time you see nothing but we [the Fever] saw it after and I was like, ‘Here we go,’” Boston said.
Boston then addressed the online reaction, adding: “No ‘cause like, we just—peace, love and happiness. We will never be free!”
Parker also suggested the Fever have been involved in some of the WNBA season’s biggest viral moments, including Sophie Cunningham’s pointing gesture and Paige Bueckers telling Clark to calm down. She added that Reese has had also had her share of meme-worthy moments.

“I would have been like Paige, too,” Parker said. “I’d have been like, ‘Calm down. I’m trying to foul you.’”
Boston was unmoved, suggesting that telling someone to calm down rarely has the intended effect. “No, I don’t care,” she noted.
