'The Greatest Of All Time': Caitlin Clark Humbled On LeBron James Motivational Post Before 2025 WNBA Season Kick-Off

Originally posted on Hardwood Heroics | By Dan Agulto | Last updated May 18, 2025 11:43 AM ET

Caitlin Clark posted a fitting response to LeBron James’ encouraging post for her before the new WNBA season kicks off. James, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, shared a picture of himself and Clark side-hugging each other, while wishing her luck for her upcoming season with the Fever. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark took time to respond to his message with a compliment of his own.

Clark is playing her second season with the Indiana Fever this year. Clark joined the Fever team in the previous WNBA season after being selected as the first overall pick in the very first round of the 2024 draft. Before the league, Clark played college basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

“Good luck and DO YOU per usual this season!!!” LeBron James captioned his Instagram post, wishing Caitlin Clark only the best for her upcoming season with the Indiana Fever.

“The greatest of all time. Thank you,” Caitlin Clark responded to LeBron James’ post.

While Caitlin Clark has openly declared her strong love and affection for the Indiana Pacers in the NBA, it is certainly no doubt that she has some mad respect for King James. With his impressive stats and records in the NBA, LeBron James is often touted as the greatest basketball player of all time. Just like him, Clark also carries a label of her own, as the greatest female basketball player of all time.
