Caitlin Clark is one of the most recognizable stars in the WNBA, and perhaps in sports, and her autograph is sought after by legions of fans.
The scenes surrounding Clark’s John Hancock in Phoenix during the league’s All-Star weekend were intense and chaotic, as the Indiana Fever star tried her best to get through it.
Clark also doesn’t seem to mind fans shoving items in her face for her to sign, like one fan last weekend holding a navy Fever shirt.
Clark pushed the shirt out of the way of her face, which was also holding the basketball of a younger female fan, who was patiently waiting for her brief moments with the Fever star.
The same fan tries to get Clark to sign a shirt for a few more seconds before giving in.

Clark signs about 30 signatures in the 100-second video, with several interesting interactions.
A male fan drapes his shirt in front of a younger, female fan, but what appears to be the younger girl’s mother pushes the shirt aside.
Clark first signs the autographs of the youngest girl and her mother before approaching the man.
Just before Clark walked back to the locker room, her last autograph was clearly addressed to a fan. Another fan also threw his shirt at Clark, which she ignored.
Clark has only been a member of the WNBA since April and her impact on women’s basketball is evident every time she steps onto the court.
Her teammate Aliyah Boston was signing autographs at the same time as Clark, but there wasn’t nearly as much interest.
Clark was part of the winning WNBA All-Stars team against Team USA on Saturday, just weeks after being snubbed for the Olympics.
