“The Indiana Fever have the first pick in this Monday’s draft,” he started. “A reminder that Indiana Fever is a WNBA team and not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.”
Clark smiled and said, “Now that’s a good joke about women’s sports.”
One of Clark’s “jokes” poked fun at Che’s Netflix special and urged him to be funnier.
“This year, Caitlin Clark broke the record for three-pointers in a single season, and I have three pointers for Michael Che. 1 – Be, 2 – Funnier, 3 – Dumba–.”
Once the jokes were over, Clark said she was looking forward to the start of her WNBA career and thanked legends like Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, Dawn Staley and Maya Moore for helping pave the path for her to get to professional basketball.
She ended the segment by giving Che an apron she signed.
