Caitlin Clark needed just one shot to turn a MrBeast charity challenge into a $90,000 donation, giving fans another reminder of the shooting ability that has made her one of basketball 's biggest attractions.

The Indiana Fever star connected from the logo after Jimmy Donaldson missed his attempt as the moment appeared in MrBeast’s latest YouTube video, released Saturday, featuring LeBron James, Erling Haaland, Simone Biles and Alysa Liu .

Clark took part at a Fever practice court, where the challenge was simple: make a shot from the logo to win money for charity as Donaldson went first but failed to find the basket.

Clark then stepped up and delivered, completing the challenge with a shot that demonstrated the range and confidence behind her reputation as a sharpshooter and a clip shared by a fan account on X.com, formerly Twitter, quickly attracted attention.

One supporter described the attempt as “Light work and easy money for Caitlin.” A second said, "Unexpected collab, Imma go watch the YT vid now.”

And a third commented, "Mr.Beast came for a three-point contest and left with a $90K lesson. Caitlin really made half-court shots look casual.”

The moment also came as Clark continues to make the most of her offseason, with several projects keeping her in the public eye beyond basketball.

Signature shoe launch leaves fans frustrated

Clark is scheduled to appear on ABC's Good Morning America on November 3 to promote her children's book, EXTRAordinary! A Little Extra to Reach Big Dreams, which is due to be released the same day.

Her partnership with Nike has also generated considerable attention following the launch of her first signature shoe, the Caitlin 1. The latest release, the Halloween-themed Jinx edition, arrived on October 30, but its limited availability left some supporters frustrated.

The design takes inspiration from a cat named Jinx that frightened Clark when she was younger. Nike's promotional video, narrated by Nick Offerman , explained how she turned that childhood fear into the inspiration for a sneaker.

The shoes feature black, ghost green and mint tones, with green cat eyes on the back of the tongue. Their soles and lower trim also glow in the dark, giving the Halloween release a distinctive finish.

However, access was restricted to Nike SNKRS Exclusive Access, leaving many fans unable to buy a pair. Clark shared the promotional video on X with the message, “Best of luck getting these,” but the response included complaints about the release process.

One frustrated supporter wrote online, “I would love to thank Nike for hiding this release and blocking true fans and collectors from getting them. If you weren’t one of the very few lucky ones, you can buy them for over $300 on eBay today.”

Another described the launch as “absolute BS,” while others questioned why the sneakers had been so difficult to purchase.

The Caitlin 1 first arrived on October 1 in Caitlin Blue and Warning Code editions, priced at $140 for adult sizes. Midnight Fever followed on October 14, while the Jinx edition retailed for $150.

More releases are planned, with Cave Stone scheduled for November 3, Ice Cold on December 1 and Purple Venom on December 12.
