LeBron James Faces Backlash Amid Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Feud

LeBron James is under scrutiny for endorsing Caitlin Clark, a standout WNBA player making waves on the court. Displaying his trademark support, LeBron acknowledged her via social media following her historic achievement as the fastest in WNBA history to achieve three career triple-doubles. He exclaimed, “TRIPLE DUB CC!! Great way to kick off the season!” Despite this encouragement, some critics labeled him a race traitor, arguing he should also champion talented black players like Angel Reese. After Clark’s remarkable triple-double performance, tensions flared during a game, resulting in a skirmish with Reese. While LeBron's gesture ignited debate among fans advocating for increased diversity in support, he remains entitled to celebrate athletes he believes in. Let’s hope the focus soon shifts back to the games themselves.
