CAITLIN CLARK IS TRULY THE GOAT, BUT WHAT CAN’T SHE DO? SHE’S ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME AT BASKETBALL. AND ACCORDING TO HER, THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO BEGGARS NIGHT AFTER DOMINATING OVER THE WEEKEND, CLARK WAS ASKED ABOUT HOW SHE LIKES TO JOKE AROUND DURING PRACTICES. THE INDIANA FEVER GUARD SAYS THE SECRET TO THAT IS ACTUALLY THAT SHE DOMINATED TRICK OR TREATING AS A KID. THE WEST DES MOINES NATIVE CREDITED DES MOINES BEGGARS NIGHT FOR HER LIGHT AND FUN SIDE. WHEN YOU TRICK OR TREAT IN DES MOINES, IOWA, YOU HAVE TO TELL A JOKE TO EARN YOUR CANDY. AND I GUESS NO OTHER PLACE REALLY DOES THAT IN THE COUNTRY. SO YOU HAVE TO TELL A JOKE. SO YOU GO AND KNOCK ON THEIR DOOR AND YOU HAVE TO TELL A JOKE TO GET YOUR CANDY. AND LIKE, I KNOW MY MOM’S A STICKLER ABOUT IT. LIKE, IF YOU DON’T TELL A JOKE, LIKE YOU’RE NOT GETTING ANY CANDY. THOSE POOR KIDS, THEY KNOW BETTER. SO YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD JOKE AT HALLOWEEN TIME. AND WHAT SHE ALSO DIDN’T SHARE WITH REPORTERS IS THAT BEGGARS NIGHT IS NOT EVEN ON HALLOWEEN. I DON’T GET THAT. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD IT. DID YOU GUYS HAVE TO TELL A JOKE? NO, NO, BECAUSE I DIDN’T GROW UP HERE LIKE I GREW UP IN SAINT LOUIS AND WE TOLD JOKES THERE, TOO. AND I WAS PAINFULLY SHY AND NEVER WANTED TO. EVER. BU
