They discussed Clark’s competitive drive and how it manifested itself on Halloween – and the day she learned to ride a bike.
When asked who taught her to dribble, Clark explained: Honestly, I probably taught myself. But I always wanted to be like my older brother and I learned to ride my bike at maybe three years old without training wheels.
‘Maybe four years old (but) only because my older brother learned that day. I was like: “Mom, Dad, take mine off. I’m learning” And I did, so…’
The WNBA star said her competitiveness can be both a blessing and a course. Letterman then pressed her to explain how it can be a bad thing.
‘When I’m just playing a casual card game with my family and my friends. And then everybody hates me. And I’m like: “Oh great, I ruined Christmas”… I won’t do that this year though,’ she joked.
‘I loved Halloween – when we trick-or-treated in Des Moines growing up, I would be so sweaty under my costume because I was in a dead sprint from house to house.
‘I had to have the most candy. That’s how I operated and my dad would completely lose me in the neighborhood.
‘I would show back up at home and my mom would be giving out candy. And my mom would get p****d at my dad: “Why did you lose our daughter? Why is she running through the neighborhood by herself?’”
‘But it was because I was just trying to beat everybody.
