The friendship between Caitlin Clark and her former Iowa teammate Kate Martin has always been the sweetest, whether it's been consulting about outfits or exchanges as honorary captains.

And this time, before Clark's Indiana Fever and Martin's Las Vegas Aces faced off, they had a funny exchange: Clark tickled her, they posed for a photo and then Clark had one request.

"Please guard me, ... when you get in, guard me," Clark said with a wink.

Simply the best. Here's that exchange before the Aces emerged with an 86-75 win over the Fever. The two teams will play again on Friday in Indiana, so maybe we'll see more of this:

Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, the best of friends:

1. Caitlin **tickles** Kate as they hug
2. Caitlin then jokes to Kate “come guard me when you get in…”
3. A final wink as the two walk away

Now, that’s friendship. pic.twitter.com/4YnmxHUiDZ
