Super Bowl winner Antonio Brown had a unique reaction to the upcoming Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark showdown after it was confirmed that the LSU Tigers and Iowa Hawkeyes will face each other in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Brown uploaded an image of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover's Lethal Weapon 2 movie on X and tweeted:
"Iowa vs LSU rematch on Monday #CTESPN"
In his tweet, it appears that Brown is likening Reese to Glover and Gibson to Clark, based on the 1989 buddy cop action film.
Notably, Reese's LSU and Clark's Iowa met in the national championship game last season. The Tigers won the finale 102-85 to lift their first NCAA crown.
Brown, who played 12 seasons in the NFL, seems to be actively following women's college basketball this season. In Feb, he wished Clark luck in breaking the NCAA's scoring record with a bizarre tweet.
"Congrats to Caitlin Clark on becoming all-time leading scorer," Brown wrote in a message, accompanied by a GIF of Gibson with long, flowing hair.
