Caitlin Clark has become the new face of the WNBA while LeBron James has been the face of the NBA for decades. But what is Clark’s opinion of LeBron?
LeBron has always spoken very highly of Clark and the feeling has been mutual. In a recent interview, Clark gave her thoughts on meeting LeBron back when she made her WNBA debut. She made it clear that it was a great moment for her and that it felt good to meet one of her idols.
Clark then declared that LeBron is “the GOAT” to her. She said that she considers LeBron to be her favorite NBA player of all-time.
“That’s one of my idols. LeBron is the GOAT to me,” she told reporters. “He’s my favorite player of all time.”

As you might imagine, LeBron’s many supporters were thrilled to hear that Clark appreciated him as much as they do:
“Caitlin Clark is the best shooter in WNBA and will be the Stephen Curry of the WNBA. Not only is she a great shooter, but she is also an unbelievable player overall (can dribble, do midrange, layups …). She is incredible. She is absolutely right ✅, LBJ is the G.O.A.T…” one user replied.
“Caitlyn Clark you are my WGOAT,” another declared.
“You can never make me hate Caitlin,” a third wrote.
“Obviously she knows ball.”
“Yeah she gone always be good in my book.”
“Caitlin they can never make me hate you.”

The debate over who is the “GOAT” of the NBA between LeBron James and Michael Jordan has raged for years.
Jordan will always have his 6-0 record in the NBA Finals though LeBron has more Finals appearances with 10. MJ won the NBA scoring title 10 times in his 15 seasons while LeBron only won it once but is the league’s all-time leading scorer.
