LeBron James Didn’t Mince Words When Speaking On Caitlin Clark: “Keep Your Mouth Shut”
With millions of fans tracking her every move since joining the WNBA as the first overall pick in the draft last month, Caitlin Clark is a generational talent that has the potential to elevate the league to new heights.
She also has a large following of detractors because when you’re exceptional at something and attract a lot of attention for it, depressed people online often take offense and will do and say anything to bring you down.
LeBron James, who is well aware of this, sent a message to Clark and others who were attacking her.
The Los Angeles Lakers star made it clear Caitlin Clark is the driving force behind the records being set across the WNBA.
LeBron then shelled out some much-needed advice, which included her keeping her mouth shut.
“My advice to Caitlin, and my advice to anyone that comes in with this level of notoriety, out-of-this-world expectation, whatever the case may be, be a horse, man. The Kentucky Derby. Put your blinders on, go to work, show up to work, punch your clock in, prepare yourself, work on your game, work on your craft.
“Kind of keep your mouth shut and just learn from the vets. When they ask, voice your opinion if they want your opinion early because everybody is looking for you to say anything, and they’re gonna splice it and cut it and make it a negative thing.”
James, who was just out of high school, was hailed by many as the second coming of Michael Jordan when he joined the NBA as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. Under such pressure, most players would have given up, but LeBron was up to the challenge and went on to become one of the all-time greats.
Similar excitement surrounds Caitlin Clark, but instead of being compared to previous greats, she is virtually being put in a class by herself.
Caitlin Clark was an obvious choice at No. 1 overall for the Fever after leading Iowa to the National Championship Game in back-to-back seasons and winning two National Player of the Year awards in her collegiate career.
