Caitlin Clark managed to get Reggie Miller\u2019d in record time.<\/p>\n
The Indiana Fever superstar Clark made her debut during NBC\u2019s \u201cBasketball Night in America\u201d on Sunday. Clark was on-site at Madison Square Garden ahead of a game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the pregame show, the retired Basketball Hall of Famer Miller was asked to provide an NBA player comparison for Clark, who was standing next to him at the time. Miller somehow decided on Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard \u2026 resulting in Clark\u2019s face visibly dropping.<\/p>\n
Here is the video of the awkward moment.<\/p>\n

Pritchard is a very respectable player who is the NBA\u2019s reigning Sixth Man of the Year and is now averaging career highs across the board as a starter for the Celtics this season. But he is still very much a role player and nowhere close to face-of-the-league material like Clark is in the WNBA.<\/p>\n In fairness to Miller, he did also show proper love to Clark, his fellow Indiana basketball icon, during another point in the broadcast.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a new shooter from Indiana. I\u2019m the third best shooter in the state of Indiana now. It goes Caitlin [Clark], Tyrese [Haliburton], then now myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Reggie Miller showing love to @CaitlinClark22<\/a> and @Pacers<\/a> guard @Hali<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qgh0XnsUZU<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) February 1, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Clark was just announced several days ago as a new contributor to NBC\u2019s ongoing coverage of the NBA (read the full details here<\/a>). But getting compared to Pritchard by Miller while live on the air during her debut might just have to go down as Clark\u2019s initiation moment.<\/p>\n
