She excelled against the Sky
LeBron JamesLAPRESSE
Caitlin Clark seems to have really hit her stride in the WNBA and was instrumental in the Indiana Fever beating the Chicago Sky 100-81 on Friday night.
Clark‘s performances since the league reconvened following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games have massively stepped up the campaign for her to win the Rookie of the Year Award, with Angel Reese originally expected to be among the contenders.
One man who has been in Clark‘s corner ever since she signed for the Fever is LeBron James, and he is lapping it up now that she is putting in the sort of performances that he always knew she had in her locker.
He took to X in the wake of her performance against the Sky and said: “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS.”
LeBron backs Clark
LeBron has backed Clark before, and he did so back in May while on an episode of the Mind the Game Podcast with JJ Redick.
“The one thing that I love that she’s bringing to her sport, more people want to watch,” James said.
“More people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it f****d up, Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen to the WNBA. But for her individually, I don’t think she should get involved.”

James knows the feeling that Clark had to go through as he arrived in the NBA with a huge spotlight on him and there was immense pressure to perform immediately.
“I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before,” James said. “I’ve walked that road before. I hope she kills. I hope Aliyah Boston does amazing. I hope they do great.”

Like most others, Michael Jordan is attempting to make the most of his summer by taking a pleasant vacation. Online footage of the NBA legend traveling to Italy with his spouse, Yvette Prieto, has just surfaced.
In one video, Jordan and Prieto can be seen dancing at a table at what seems to be a nightclub. Like in his playing days, the six-time champion smokes a cigar on his night out. The pair eventually lose themselves in the intensity of the occasion and start dancing. Michael Jordan and his spouse traveled to Italy in elegance, as anticipated. The Chicago Bulls icon is currently on a superyacht.
Several memorable moments occurred during the evening, such as the amusing present from the nightclub: a tambourine with their faces from the same night’s picture. Prieto held the unique gift up for Jordan to see, and it caused grins and laughter.
Jordan also interacted with people on their Capri excursion, shaking hands, striking pictures at their table, and dancing with them. His approachable manner and eagerness to interact with people emphasized his genuine nature even more.
