Fever Guard Compares Caitlin Clark's Trash Talk to Diana Taurasi

Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever guard renowned as one of the WNBA's most gifted recent players, continues to showcase exceptional playmaking and passing abilities despite her three-point shooting being hampered during an injury-plagued 2025 season.

Her frequent trash-talking has also garnered significant attention. Teammate Aari McDonald, speaking with Daily W Sports, confirmed Clark's reputation, stating, "CC definitely is a crap-talker. But that's what makes her, her... She's the ultimate competitor." McDonald emphasized that Clark trash-talks constantly, including during practices and off the court, adding that it motivates her ("it gets me going").

McDonald further predicted that Clark will soon be recognized among the league's elite trash-talkers. While acknowledging Phoenix Mercury's Alyssa Thomas as the most consistent, McDonald believes Clark will surpass her and reach the level of Diana Taurasi, widely considered the greatest trash-talker in women's basketball, stating, "I think she's gonna be up there with [Diana Taurasi], as well."
