<h2>Caitlin Clark gets a special message from LeBron James</h2>



LeBron James asserted that a young generation of women is rightfully attracting all the attention nationwide, even surpassing men’s college basketball. The gap has definitely disappeared. 







“I don’t think there’s much difference between the men’s and women’s game when it comes to college basketball. I think the popularity comes in with the icons that they have in the women’s game.”

The King admitted that Caitlin Clark is the major reference in the Final Four and, as a consequence, she will likely break all previously established audience records for an NCAA event.



“You look at Angel Reese, you look at Juju Watkins, you look at Caitlin Clark, you look at Paige Bueckers. And that’s what we all love about it. That’s what we all love. We love the girl’s game because of that moment you actually get to see those girls. That’s what makes the girl’s Final Four and the Elite Eight so great. Yeah, Iowa was a great team. Caitlin Clark is the reason we tuned in.”
