However, one media outlet sparked a light-hearted debate by claiming that Kelsey Plum had the edge over the Indiana Fever star in one quirky category. The playful comparison left Plum in stitches.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSports Are Fun!\u201d podcast panel claimed that Plum would defeat Clark in a \u201ct-shirt throwing contest\u201d between the two, based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J2t_CwJd2jA&amp;ab_channel=SanAntonioStars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">her iconic moment<\/a> from the 2017 NBA playoffs game.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cKelsey Plum has a cannon,\u201d <\/em>a panel member said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s an old video too. She\u2019s only gotten stronger since then. She\u2019s put on at least 10, 15 pounds of muscle. Kelsey Plum\u2019s arms are yacked. Caitlin Clark \u2013 she\u2019s putting in her arm workout, don\u2019t get us wrong. She\u2019s looking a lot better now on her arms, like really getting beefier. But like Kelsey Plum has years on her with this,\u201d<\/em> another member added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The video instantly went viral on social media, garnering thousands of likes in no time. Plum also stumbled upon the post and couldn\u2019t resist chiming in.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cLmaoooooo this is wild,\u201d<\/em> Plum commented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The debate was sparked by a recent viral clip of Caitlin Clark during Game 2 of the Indiana Pacers\u2019 first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. Members of the Fever were invited onto the court during the second quarter to toss souvenirs into the stands. Cameras captured Clark launching the t-shirt deep in the stands.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kelsey Plum clapped back at a Caitlin Clark fan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kelsey Plum has often spoken positively about Caitlin Clark, praising the latter since her rise in college basketball and later in the WNBA. Despite being compared, there is no bad blood between the two. However, Plum recently locked horns with one of her fans.<\/p>\n<p>Almost eight months after the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game, a clip of Plum applying intense full-court pressure on Clark went viral on social media. User @nosyone4 criticized Plum, suggesting that the suffocating defense was unnecessary considering the inconsequential nature of the exhibition game.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing not to tolerate the hate, Plum clapped back with a stern reply.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cDawg could have been CC, could have been my grandma. coaches made me pick up full court and deny the ball back, I tried (btw if you watched the Olympics\/ world championships, when you play team USA, this is the style) k leave me alone bye,\u201d<\/em> Plum responded to the tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During the previous regular season, the guards faced off four times, with Plum&#8217;s side winning all of them. She also outscored Clark by nearly 7.0 points per game (20.3 to 13.8). However, the then-rookie outperformed in other areas, with more rebounds, assists and steals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/4977288-1738121275-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Advait Jajodia&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nAdvait Jajodia is an NBA and WNBA journalist at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in the field with The SportsRush. <\/p>\n<p>Advait has a love of basketball that stems from playing the game, and has represented Mumbai North at the Inter-District State Championship and Maharashtra at the ASISC National Games.<\/p>\n<p>His favorite team is the New Orleans Pelicans, although Advait also has an affinity for the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.
