LeBron James is a sports enthusiast who enjoys playing a variety of sports, including baseball, football, and basketball. He is also not afraid to encourage other players. Whatever you think of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, there is no denying his influence on the world of sports.
Therefore, it draws notice when LeBron stands up or supports a fellow athlete.
James recently mentioned two WNBA players whom he has grown to love.
LeBron James wants Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark of the WNBA to succeed.
Right now in his life, LeBron James is in an intriguing place. In addition, he has a busy summer ahead of him as he chooses whether to use his contract opt-out to become a free agency or stay with the Lakers.
He has also been closely monitoring the comments made about his oldest son, Bronny James, who recently qualified for the draft and has received a wide range of favorable and unfavorable feedback.
LeBron can’t help but draw comparisons between Bronny and Caitlin Clark, maybe because of what he sees his son going through or just because he’s always aware of what else is going on in the sports world.
Even while Clark and Bronny’s levels of accomplishment may not have been comparable, they have both received a lot of criticism. The Fever are 0-5 to begin the season, while Clark, who was a standout player in college while playing basketball for Iowa, is off to a slower start after being selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
While acknowledging that there are a few changes Clark has to make to her game, she also said that it now “feels a bit fast.” Put another way, while she hasn’t performed appallingly, she hasn’t turned into the overnight sensation that many had anticipated.
While she does have the most assists and made 3-pointers, she also leads the WNBA in turnovers. Even though Clark has the third-most points in the league, LeBron is not one of her detractors; she will always have her share.
“For her individually, I don’t think she should get involved in (anything) that’s being said. Just go have fun, enjoy. I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before. I’ve walked that road before. I hope she kills. I hope (Indiana Fever forward) Aliyah Boston does amazing. I hope they do great.”
