LeBron James taunts Caitlin Clark haters as Fever rookie scores 31 against Angel Reese

Caitlin Clark and LeBron James

The Indiana Fever star player, Caitlin Clark well and truly shut her haters down on Friday against the Chicago Sky. She dropped one of the best performances by a rookie in the WNBA history. Her performance even brought out many NBA experts and players praising her on social media. The Los Angeles Lakers star, LeBron James is one of them.

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers star is an admirer of the Indiana Fever rookie. However, after she recorded 31 points and 12 assists in a victory over the Chicago Sky on Friday night, James took a shot at Clark’s doubters. In addition, Clark has been consistently performing top-notch for the Fever in her debut campaign after having a mediocre start to her season.

James took to X to give Clark her flowers and also aimed a sly jab towards her ‘Haters and Naysayers.’ LeBron James wrote on X, “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS” after watching Clark completely dominate the Sky and another star, Angel Reese. In addition, Clark also broke a few records and is the first player in WNBA history to record 23-plus points and 12-plus assists in a single game.

That said, Clark and Reese have been in the running to claim the ROTY 2024 Award this season. Both stars have been going at it, with one overtaking the other as each week passes by. However, Clark now has the upper hand over Reese, with many tipping the Fever star to snatch the award after her recent showings. It will be interesting to watch who wins the ROTY 2024 Award in the WNBA this season.

LeBron James makes his stance clear on WNBA star Caitlin Clark

The WNBA has gained a lot of attention after Caitlin Clark opted to join the professional league. All of this attention has resulted in chartered aircraft, sold-out arenas, endorsements, and other opportunities. However, others in the league were unhappy with Clark receiving so much attention. In response to this, NBA legend LeBron James weighed in his thoughts on Clark.

The one thing that I love that she’s bringing to her sport is that more people want to watch, more people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it (expletive) up. Caitlin Clark is the reason a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA.

In addition, James advised Clark to concentrate on what she was doing and ignore distractions. He encouraged her to enjoy her experience and expects that she and other young players, such as Aaliyah Boston, do well in the WNBA. Interestingly, Clark seems to have stuck to James’ words by performing at the top of her game week in and week out in the WNBA as of yet.
