If going up against little kids on the basketball court was an Olympic sport, Caitlin Clark would certainly make the team … ’cause the Indiana Fever superstar blocked the hell outta a youngin’ at a charity event!!
The hilarious highlight went down at Gainbridge’s Habitat for Humanity event this week … when CC playfully went 1-on-1 with a lucky fan in attendance.
Counted about 5 total blocks in this 1-1 matchup today from @CaitlinClark22 🤣😭@GainbridgeSport @Habitat_org pic.twitter.com/8CwdsXUStW

In a clip from the gathering, the boy is shown dribbling up the court as Clark played D … and even though he was barely 3-feet tall, he pulled up with a shot attempt over the 6-foot guard.
We assume he thought Clark was gonna ease up on defense due to the age gap … but she showed no mercy — and ended up blockin’ his shot mid-air!!
“That’s not fair,” the kid said to Clark as she laughed.
So fun capturing @CaitlinClark22 for Gainbridge’s community event where they built the walls of the new Habitat for Humanity home for these special kids 🥹💙 pic.twitter.com/YLvkNBrVdU

The defense apparently didn’t stop there — Clark then blocked the boy’s shot another four times after that, according to witnesses.
There were other fun moments with the kids, too … Clark, 22, posed for pics with those in attendance … and one even said, “This is the best day ever!”
It’s good to see the No. 1 overall pick in great spirits — it was just announced she would not be a member of Team USA’s women’s basketball roster for the Paris Games.

Shout-out to Clark for making everyone’s day at the event … we’re excited for a rematch in a few years when the kid hits a growth spurt.
