Clark responds to James' photo + blessings: That's one of my idols He's the best in history

On May 20, Beijing time, WNBA's Indiana fanatics Kaitlyn Clark claimed that she rarely chases stars "on top", but this time, the situation is completely different. Because in front of her is Lakers star LeBron James, one of her idols.

On May 18, in the opening game of the new WNBA season, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a 93-58 victory over the Chicago Sky. After the game, the sophomore star was rewarded with a surprise that even she couldn't believe.

What exactly shocked Clarke? It turned out to be the player she has always admired the most, James posted a heartfelt post on Instagram. James wrote in the feed: "I wish you all the best this season and just be yourself as usual!! @caitlinclark22", along with three photos of the two smiling and hugging as they recently met in the players' tunnel. The news quickly went viral on the Internet and eventually reached Clark as well.

In his post-training interview today, Clark said: "I don't usually get excited about seeing celebrities, but I was really ...... at that moment I was ...... I knew I could see him when I came to the game, and he was one of my idols. For me, LeBron is the GOAT. ”

Although Clark didn't see the news before the game started, after the game, her friends sent her screenshots one after another, and her phone was almost "flooded".

Clark joked, "I was stunned, and my first reaction was to think it was fake...... I couldn't believe it, and I muttered, 'Wait, is this really LeBron James?' It's true that the person in the picture is me, but I still think it's incredible. ”

Last season, Clark was named "Rookie of the Year", averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. For her, this interaction is very meaningful, not only a successful experience of chasing stars, but also recognition from legends in the basketball world.

Clark added, "He really cares about the WNBA, he loves and appreciates the sport of basketball. He also appreciates the style of play played by the Fever and my teammates. ”

Needless to say, this tribute goes both ways.
