Basketball fans recently witnessed an intense competition between long-time rivals. Caitlin Clark, the standout player of the Indiana Fever, gave fierce competition to Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky forward, in a recent game between Sky and Fever. However, Clark once again showed everyone why she was the most anticipated player before her WNBA Draft by leading the Fever to a 100-81 victory against the Sky. Her exceptional performance was praised by NBA superstar LeBron James.
Clark, who was recently praised by a WNBA champion, entertained the crowd with her remarkable skills. The 22-year-old scored a double-double with an impressive 31 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds in her 32 minutes of play. Los Angeles Lakers star James was stunned by Clark’s dominating performance and gave a four-word response to the haters of the Fever standout player.
Shortly after her debut, Clark became a sensational player who was loved and praised by most players, analysts, and fans. However, she also garnered some detractors during that time. James shut down all of Clark’s haters by posting “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS” on his social media account on X (formerly known as Twitter).
LeBron James Pointed Out Some Unique Skills Of Clark
LeBron James has consistently shown support for Clark. The all-time points leader has praised the standout Fever player on numerous occasions. In May 2024, while appearing on the Mind the Game podcast with the Lakers’ new head coach, JJ Redick, James emphasized some unique qualities of Clark.
“The one thing that I love that she’s bringing to her sport is more people want to watch. More people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it up: Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA.” James said.
Clark is considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. In her first season in the WNBA, the 22-year-old point guard has already achieved several milestones. Clark’s next game will be against the Dallas Wings, and it will be fascinating to see the rookie’s performance.

In June 2021, the Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns in their first-round playoff series. James was trolled on social media, with comments suggesting that he didn’t have enough support to win with his team. Reese mocked the idea in response to a Twitter post criticizing James and wrote, “No, LeBron was no help.”
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Face Off in Friday’s Game
In her debut season, Clark has already begun making history in the WNBA by setting records and achieving milestones. The 22-year-old point guard became the first rookie to achieve a triple-double and set the WNBA record for most assists in a single game. Considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time, Clark delivered an outstanding performance against the Sky in Friday’s game, scoring 31 points, providing 12 assists, and securing four rebounds.
On the other hand, Reese, who recently set the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles, scored 10 points, made two assists, and grabbed 11 rebounds. The former LSU player, who won the NCAA championship in 2023, has been making waves in her debut professional season. Moreover, in a 70-62 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on June 30, she achieved her tenth consecutive double-double, surpassing Candace Parker for the longest single-season streak in WNBA history.
