The 2025 WNBA season begins today and Caitlin Clark hopes to lead her team to an even better year against her longtime nemesis Angel Reese's Chicago Sky. One person who is in the WNBA superstar's corner ahead of the game is the NBA's biggest star, LeBron James.

Taking to Instagram a short while ago, LeBron wish Clark luck on the upcoming season and told her to "do you per usual" this season.

"Good luck and DO YOU per usual this season!!! @caitlinclark22," the NBA's all-time scoring leader wrote.

LeBron's fans loved seeing him show support to Clark while Clark's fans were just as grateful to receive such a glowing endorsement from the Lakers superstar.

"My 2 goats in one pic ❤️," one user replied.

"WE STAY WINNING," declared another.

"Two goats have broken out the zoo," a third asserted.

"Did Bron get hacked ? Who randomly posts two goats on a Saturday afternoon ? "

"Lebron you are so (tough), words cannot explain the love and admiration I have for you."

"She need to join the Lakers next season," another suggested.

Last year Clark and the Fever went 20-20 overall, ending a long playoff drought, while Clark went on to win Rookie of the Year honors. The team was promptly bounced in the playoffs, but have retooled in a big way over the past few months.

The Fever have a new (yet familiar) coach in Stephanie White taking over this season while the team added a slew of valuable personnel including Sophie Cunningham to their ranks.

This could be a huge year for the Fever.
