LeBron James understands firsthand the challenges that come with being a top-tier athlete facing racism and scrutiny. His own journey from a challenging background to becoming the No. 1 overall NBA draft pick has given him a unique perspective on recent incidents involving Caitlin Clark.
In a May episode of his podcast, James shared his thoughts on Clark’s experiences and the impact she is having on her sport.
Here’s what @KingJames has to say about @CaitlinClark22 and the hate that she has received during her time in the WNBA.

“The one thing that I love that she’s bringing to her sport, more people want to watch. More people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it (expletive) up: Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA,” LeBron said.
LeBron also drew parallels between his own experiences and those of Clark, particularly in terms of the scrutiny and animosity he endured due to his son, Bronny James. Bronny himself addressed those criticisms recently.
“I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before. I’m getting the same thing from my son.. getting a lot of animosity and hatred towards him,” he added.
Throughout his 21 seasons in the NBA, LeBron has endured a significant amount of criticism and hostility, yet he has emerged stronger and more determined. This experience of overcoming adversity is something he sees in Clark’s journey.
LeBron’s advice proved true for Clark as WNBA star recently faced one of the hardest times of her basketball career. Even the Indiana Fever’s general manager and coach could not resist voicing their frustration over the treatment Clark has been getting since he entered the league.
Zach Randolph Reveals the Knicks’ Failed LeBron James Gamble
In a recent episode of Podcast P, Memphis Grizzlies star, Zach Randolph shared an unforgettable story from his time with the New York Knicks.
Despite having a talented roster, the Knicks team had traded away nearly all its players, including Randolph, in a bid to create cap space for the anticipated arrival of LeBron James in free agency. Unfortunately for the Knicks, this ambitious plan did not pan out as expected.
“We had a lot of talent on that team. And like you said, that year, I think I got there the second half of the season and the next season I got traded at the beginning. But that year we came back and got traded and we were balling… That’s when the LeBron [James] free agency thing… they thought LeBron was coming to New York, and LeBron was never coming to New York, and they done traded their whole team… So they got rid of me… they got rid of the whole team for nothing,” he said.
Interestingly, the rumor mill is abuzz once again with speculation that LeBron James might leave the Los Angeles Lakers soon.
Will the Knicks try to entertain the NBA fans with LeBron again? What’s your opinion? Share in the comment box.
