The NBA season is in full flow with some exciting results impacting the league standings. Once the No. 2 team from the West, the Lakers dropped to fifth position with a few losses. Losses against the Kings and Bucks raised questions over the team’s competitive ability and blamed LeBron James for the same. Well, Caitlin Clark didn’t like that.
Clark already labelled LeBron James ‘King’, reacting to his post on social media. Now she once again showed support for the Lakers forward.

Even with Luka Doncic’s massive performances, the Lakers lost games they were expected to win. Though Austin Reaves is out of action, the LBJ and Doncic pair had enough potential to win games. While many doubted ‘old’ James’ ability to carry the team, he scored 31 points against the Hawks and shared a photo with a special message for the haters.
In the post, James wrote, “No matter if you LOVE or HATE me, you will REMEMBER me.”. Knowing the narrative against the four-time champion, CC gave a shoutout to the star’s performance and shared his post on her IG Story.
