Every time he talks about Caitlin Clark, LeBron James draws the wrath of those who think they should only dwell on Angel Reese’s performance. The King does it anyway, which seems to make the Indiana star extremely happy.
In the United States, the debates between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese go beyond basketball. In a country with such a heavy history, where discrimination is still very present in society, it’s difficult to analyze this rivalry from any other angle than that of racial tensions. For many, choosing a side means choosing a community.
For some fans of the Fever leader, Reese represents the African-American ghetto, and is a player who functions above all on anger. Conversely, for some fans of the Chicago interior, Clark would have taken advantage of “white privilege” to reach this level of stardom and become the face of a league where the majority of players are black.
Caitlin Clark responds to LeBron James’ compliments
Because it’s obviously impossible to appreciate these young women for what they do on the court, and only on the court, LeBron James received a lot of criticism when he decided to congratulate CC on her recent triple-double. He was branded a traitor and a follower, but that didn’t stop the woman in question from replying to him in front of the media.
I’m not used to being impressed by stars, but I knew I was going to have the opportunity to meet LeBron James when I got to the game. He’s one of my idols, he’s the GOAT in my eyes. I knew I’d get to meet him in the hallways, and I was touched to see that he really follows the WNBA. He loves the sport and the way it’s played on this team. I saw his post on Instagram, I wasn’t expecting it, I didn’t know if it was his real account.
LeBron James loves Caitlin Clark, some might say, and he’s making it known on his various social networks. The Fever superstar still can’t believe it, having grown up following the King’s exploits in Cleveland, Miami and Los Angeles. Now that she shares the same equipment as he does, she can be seen alongside him, giving her a valuable asset in her rivalry with Angel Reese.
