The Caitlin Clark critics may never change their tune, but the Indiana Fever rookie makes it tough for doubters to say much as her first season in the WNBA rolls on.

On Friday night, Clark faced off against fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. She had an incredible game, scoring 31 points with five three-pointers, 12 assists, and four rebounds. This led Indiana to a 100-81 road victory.
Social Media Praise:
Her performance brought praise from athletes and stars alike. LeBron James took to X with a simple message for her critics: “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS.”

LeBron’s High Praise:
James has faced his own share of criticism throughout his career, so his support is a big deal for any player.
Fans think it’s amazing how supportive LeBron is.
Clark’s Impact on the Fever:
Clark has led the Fever to a 16-16 record this season, a huge improvement from their 13-27 record last year. She’s gone from being a Rookie of the Year contender to someone who could be considered for MVP honors. Through 32 games, she’s averaging 18.4 points, 8.3 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game.
While she might not win MVP this year, she’s shown that she’s on track to be a top candidate in future seasons.
