Caitlin Clark’s Bold Take on LeBron James Takes the Internet by StormCaitlin Clark (Photo via Twitter)
Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark knows who the NBA Goat is.

When the debate comes up about the best player in NBA history, there are two leading players that fans seem to be split on. LeBron James and Michael Jordan are the obvious two choices.

The debate between James and Jordan has become a very heated talking point.

Clark is a name that has taken the basketball world by storm. She has completely changed the outlook for the WNBA and has brought a vast new group of fans to the table for the league.

Many believe that Clark can be the “GOAT” of women’s basketball by the end of her career.

Earlier this year, she weighed in with her thoughts on the best NBA player of all time debate.

 

During a meeting with the media, Caitlin Clark spoke out and named James her “GOAT” without hesitation.


“LeBron is the GOAT to me, he’s my favorite player of all time,” Clark said.

James has a high level of respect for Clark as well. He regularly praises her on social media.

James is set to enter his 23rd season in the NBA. He’s capable of playing like a top-10 player in the league on most nights.

He still hasn’t announced when he might be winding down his career.

During the 2024-25 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers, James played in 70 games. He averaged 24.4 points per game, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and a steal while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.

The Indiana Fever’s next game is against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, and they finally welcomed back Clark to the court.

Clark, who has been held out of the last five games due to a groin injury, participated in Indiana’s five-on-five practice on Monday, indicating a return could be nearing.

She was only used in short bursts throughout the game, as they worked her back slowly before going all in.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
