The 2025 NBA season is nearing its conclusion as the Conference Finals are set to begin, but the WNBA season is just beginning and all eyes will undoubtedly be on Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark as she begins her second season. One set of those eyes keeping watch over all things basketball is Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
Clark got her season off to a big start with a triple-double in the Fever’s season-opening win over the Chicago Sky, a game that got a lot of attention thanks to a minor scuffle between Clark and Sky forward Angel Reese. And James shouted Clark out on social media for her outstanding performance.
James is a figure that means so much to so many people as this new generation of athletes have all witnessed his growth from a high school kid in Ohio to arguably the greatest basketball player of all-time. Even athletes like Clark, who are superstars themselves, admire everything LeBron has done and what he stands for.
Clark has a lot on her shoulders as she continues to rise as the WNBA’s biggest star and one of the most popular female athletes in the country. Following in the footsteps of LeBron and what he meant on and off the court is an ideal way to leave a legacy that will last forever.
Caitlin Clark was the latest Indiana guard to get a shoutout from LeBron James as the Lakers superstar previously had a lot of kind words for Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton and his performance in the elimination of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hailburton called the shoutout ‘super, super cool’ while adding that he and LeBron had been texting back and forth as their relationship has grown from their time together on the Olympic team.
