Caitlin Clark is already considered to be one of the greatest shooters basketball has ever seen, but she still got beaten in a game in which the main objective is to shoot basketballs… by a former NFL quarterback at that.
The former Iowa star was a guest on the latest episode of ‘The Eli Manning Show’ and would go up against the erstwhile QB in a game of Pop-A-Shot.
She confessed to not being that great at the game before they started, yet we still didn’t actually expect her to lose to Eli Manning.
The New York Giants legend beat Caitlin quite handily, with their final scores reading 76-51.
Caitlin Clark Became The First Person To Lose To Eli Manning On His Show, Or So He Thinks…
Manning, who set a new record on the machine, said he believed it may have been the first time he ever beat a guest at anything on his own show, to which Clark said she was “honored.”“Give it up for Eli. That was actually really good,” she added.
“I’ve been practicing a lot. I’ve been here all week,” Manning said jokingly.
Of course, it would have been a different story if they were on an actual basketball court, though we’re not sure he would be dominated by the Indiana Fever guard as he was actually a solid basketball player in high school, having excelled both on the hardwood and the gridiron before heading to college.
