A pile of USA fans gathered to enjoy the dominance of the USA women on the Paris court. Among them, a die-hard Caitlin Clark’s Japanese fan appeared to steal the limelight prior to tipoff in Paris. A young man was spotted holding up a banner that read, “You need Caitlin Clark to beat us.”

As he garnered the spotlight, his actions did not go unnoticed. Fans did not hesitate to laugh at the hilarious act of the fans. In the eyes of fans, Clark is not necessarily a demanding star to beat the opponents on the international stage.

“They definitely don’t, but the sign is still funny,” one comment read.

“Lmaooooo that so wrong but also hilarious at the same time,” another fan wrote.

“Who paid him to write that because Clark is not needed to beat Japan?” one fan wrote.

One fan even went so critical to throw a sly jab at Clark by comparing him with the Boston Celtics’ NBA Finals MVP winner Jaylen Brown.

“Women’s national team is going to be just fine without CC just like the Men’s team will be fine without Jaylen Brown,” the comment read.
