Clark responds to James photo + blessing: That s one of my idols He is the best in history

On May 20, WNBA's Indiana fanatic star Caitlin Clark claimed that he rarely chased stars, but this time, the situation was completely different. Because in front of her is Lakers star LeBron James, one of her idols.

In the opening game of the WNBA new season on May 18, Clark led the Indiana Fanatics to beat the Chicago Sky with a huge gap of 93-58. After the game, the sophomore star received a surprise that she couldn't believe. What exactly shocked Clark? It turned out that she admired the most by James on Instagram. James wrote in the news: "I wish you all the best this season and be yourself as usual!!! @caitlinclark22", and attached three photos of the two smiling and hugging when they met in the player channel recently. This update quickly became popular on the Internet and eventually spread to Clark.

Clark said in a post-training interview today: "I am not very excited about seeing celebrities, but at that moment I really... I was... I knew I could see him when I came to the game, and he was one of my idols. To me, LeBron is the best in history (GOAT)."

Although Clark did not see this update before the game, after the game, his friends sent her screenshots, and his phone was almost "overwhelmed".

Clark joked: "I was stunned at that time, and his first reaction was that it was fake... I couldn't believe it, and he muttered in his heart, 'Wait, is this really LeBron James posted?' I'm right in the photo, but I still think it's too incredible."

Last season, Clark was awarded the "Rookie of the Year", averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. For her, this interaction is of great significance. It is not only a successful experience of star chasing, but also a recognition from legends in the basketball world.

Clark also added: "He really cares about the WNBA, he loves and appreciates the sport of basketball. He also appreciates the style of the fanatic team and my teammates."

There is no doubt that this respect is two-way.
