While LeBron James publicly supported Caitlin Clark recently, some fans felt that the King made his choice between the Fever player and Angel Reese, her opponent.
And an old tweet, dating back to 2021, may be the cause.
The WNBA has been getting a lot of exposure in recent months, with the arrival of Caitlin Clark in the league.
The Fever player is a real phenomenon and at every game, fans are there to support her with her spectacular play.
Good for the league, especially since she should win her first trophy in a few weeks: the rookie of the year.
Fans are eager to see what happens next and it seems that LeBron James is too, he who was like a crazy person in front of Clark’s performance last week.
But Internet users have noted another fact: the King did not support Reese, at least not this time.
A simple coincidence? Not necessarily when you look at old tweets from the player.
Angel Reese’s Tackle on LeBron James
If LeBron puts the WNBA’s interest above all else, he probably didn’t like Reese’s tweet from June 2021, when the Lakers lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs to the Suns. James had tried everything to qualify, but he lacked help for Internet users at the time.
Not for Reese, who had tackled James.

Internet User: “I’m going to be honest, LeBron literally had no help.”
Reese: “No, LeBron was no help.”
So when we see James supporting his rival several years later, fans can’t help but make the connection. Not sure that’s true, especially since Clark’s game is simply spectacular and a pleasure to watch.
A great thing for the WNBA, which continues to want to grow over the years.
Nothing is forgotten on the Internet and Angel Reese is now experiencing it.
Her tweet against LeBron James is going badly, with fans very angry with her.
This support from the King for Caitlin Clark was perhaps not entirely a coincidence.
