LeBron James called out critics of Caitlin Clark recently, praising the rookie guard's WNBA impact and comparing her detractors to those criticizing his son Bronny.
Caitlin Clark is not having the same success in her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever thus far as she had over the past few women's college basketball seasons with Iowa. While Clark is averaging a solid 17 points per game, her overall peformance over her first four professional contests has been mixed. However, Clark and the rest of the league's hotly anticipated crop of rookies are still bringing unprecedented viewership and popularity to the WNBA.
' James also compared the scrutiny that the 22-year-old Clark is under to the spotlight currently shining on his 19-year-old son, Bronny James, who is expected to be a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Bronny does not profile as the top overall prospect in the draft, but is the most bet to to No. 1 overall amid reports that LeBron would join whichever team Bronny goes to in order to live out his stated dream of playing on the same NBA team as his son.
