The 39-year-old Lakers star didn’t seem to mind that it was his WNBA home team that lost. Instead, he showered praise on Caitlin Clark by highlighting her recent feat on his Instagram story. Furthermore, LeBron James also added a cluster of laughing emojis alongside the caption that read “Hi HATERS!!!!!! I love it.”
LeBron’s remarks come just a few days after he had given another shoutout to Clark after her two dominating games over the weekend. Immediately following a career-high 31 points and 12 assists performance against Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky, she went on to drop 28 points and 12 assists against the Dallas Wings. By writing “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS”, LeBron was simply giving a preview of the attack line he would use going forward against the WNBA star’s critics.
