When it comes to not making the Olympic team, Caitlin Clark has nothing but praise for the 12 who made it: “it’s the toughest team to make.” Clip:

More from Clark on the Olympic team, including if she would accept a late invitation if a player were to be too injured to play:

Always the upmost professional. At the end of the day it’s a loss for women’s basketball dropping the ball on an amazing opportunity to ride this wave and get more viewership than any other sport in the Olympics but will be good for Caitlin to get some much needed rest.

Humble, classy, professional, I could go on and on on. The other players in the @WNBA should take a lesson from Caitlin.

she's so mature for her age. When I was 22, I was cursing people playing Starcraft

After seeing this interview, I'm reminded of the power of grace under pressure. A textbook example of being a class act.

Someone was raised right. She will be rewarded. ❤️💯🇺🇸

Fantastic! Can we all put the pitchforks down now and stop being offended on her behalf? Can we all stop pretending like we're NBC ad executives deeply concerned with missed viewership numbers?

Peep her body language when asked about the break. That's what she truly wants. If she's as good as we think she is, she'll have a chance at many more Olympic teams in the future

This girl is PURE CLASS!

she gonna be in that hyperbaric chamber 8 hours a day for that entire month 😂
