LeBron James' 2 a.m. shoutout for Caitlin Clark has fans hyped: "He's an FC member" 

LeBron James has been invested in Caitlin Clark's rookie season, showing more support for the Indiana Fever's young star over the past week. Clark once again put on a show on Wednesday night as she recorded her second triple-double of the season and career against the LA Sparks.

James was hyped up over her performance and highlighted it on his Instagram stories. He shared a series of laughing emojis with a message to Clark's doubters.

"Hi 👋🏽 HATERS!!!!!! I love it," James captioned the post.

The story sent Clark's fans into a frenzy, especially knowing that he posted it at 2 a.m. ET. Some went on to declare James a member of her fan club.

"wdym LeBron posted this on ig at 2AM that’s crazy 😭😭😭😭 he’s an fc member 😭😭😭," one fan wrote.

"He be making the numbers go up on them CC post. Bron got 160 million followers on IG," another fan noted.

"You just know he was tuned in😭," another fan said.

Others likened Clark to James, calling them both GOATs and praising their greatness.

"Goats gotta stick together," one fan wrote.

"Greatness recognize greatness 🐐🐐s," another fan said.

This comes after James sent a similar message to Caitlin Clark's haters on Saturday right after she lit up the Chicago Sky and led the Fever to a 100-81 win at Wintrust Arena.

“CAITLIN CLARK!!!!! HI HATERS,” James posted on X.

LeBron James has defended Caitlin Clark since her college days

This isn't the first time LeBron James has used his platforms to defend Caitlin Clark against critics. When Clark had an 18-point first quarter against South Carolina in the women's NCAA Tournament final back in April, James was quick to call out doubters, saying that whoever didn't enjoy that type of performance was a 'flat-out' hater.

“If you don’t rock with Caitlin Clark game, you’re just a FLAT OUT HATER!!!!! Stay far away from them people!! PLEASE”

Then in May, he clapped back at Clark and Bronny James' critics, calling it weird while hailing Clark's mentality against the criticism she received.

LeBron James knows exactly what it's like to be a hyped prospect and rookie. He exceeded expectations and became one of the greatest players ever and Clark is showing signs of following the same path during her rookie season.

She took the Indiana Fever from a 1-9 record to 18-16 and the sixth spot in the WNBA standings with the possibility of moving further up.
