The Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark has been in the spotlight ever since she was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA. Coming off a record-breaking collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Clark’s on-court brilliance has been nothing short of captivating. Sure, she had a slow start to her pro career, taking her time to adjust, but when she finally found her rhythm, she was unstoppable.

To celebrate what was undeniably the greatest rookie year for the 22-year-old Iowa native, the Indiana Fever took to their official X account to share a comprehensive list of her jaw-dropping accomplishments in her debut season. And proud boyfriend, Connor McCaffery had something to say.

He left a cryptic note saying, “Is that all???” Being sarcastic about the long list or disappointed at not finding other records listed?

The list of accolades covered almost everything. But it forgot to include a few of Caitlin Clark’s standout achievements: becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to be named Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks and being the first rookie ever to notch over 400 points and 100 rebounds in a season. Impressive, right? Maybe that’s why Connor McCaffery’s sarcastic comment, “Is that all?” felt so fitting—it’s hard to keep track of all her milestones!

But McCaffrey has been there for every one of them.

Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery are supportive of each other

This isn’t the first time Connor has shown unwavering support for his girlfriend and basketball superstar. He’s been her biggest cheerleader throughout her career, celebrating every win and milestone like it’s his own. When Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women’s basketball history, Connor was right there, posting “So proud” on his Instagram story.

And after her record-breaking three-pointer spree or her team’s Final Four victory, he didn’t hold back, writing “Out of words for this 1.”

But his support doesn’t stop at Instagram stories. When Clark transitioned to the professional league, Connor continued to show up—literally. He attended several of her games, including the Fever’s matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks, proving that he’s as devoted courtside as he is online.

And it’s not a one-way street. Caitlin’s just as supportive of Connor’s career. Applauding and acknowledging his new chapter with the Butler Bulldogs, Clark made sure to show up to almost every game in the initial few weeks, even if it meant delaying thanksgiving dinner.
