LeBron James was one of the many fans watching the Women's Final Four this weekend. This past weekend was dominated by women's basketball and for good reason. So many storylines were fun and digestible to viewers. Who could stop the dominance of South Carolina? Is Caitlin Clark really her? Would LSU and their flamboyantly dressed coach cut down the nets? There were so many storylines, along with so many characters, that created enticing stories.
However, in the end, it was Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers that cut down the nets. The Tigers dominated Iowa from the opening tip on Sunday. The Tigers left no questions unanswered with the 102-85 victory. Sadly, the dominant performance has taken second fiddle to a story that gained traction at the end of the game. LSU star Angel Reese decided to give Caitlin Clark a little taste of her own medicine. Clark blossomed into a star during the tournament with her unabashed personality. Clark was unafraid to talk trash and maybe let her opponents know her true feelings with a few simple gestures.
LeBron James Is Team Reese
Clark celebrated her dominant performance over Louisville in the Final Four by showing the Cardinals they couldn't see her. For anyone to even suggest that what Reese did was wrong really doesn't understand sports. The best trash talkers in sports always get it right back during a loss. Clark's situation is just another example of being able to handle what you dish out. While Clark didn't publicly say she was mad at the actions by Reese. Many in the social media world were irate with Reese's actions. However, this seems like a simple case of athletes having fun during tough competition. Something that LeBron James knows all too well. James' support didn't go unnoticed, as many are in support of Reese and her team.
If you don't like what Angel Reese did during the National Championship, then stop her from winning. Reese went on to win the MVP of the Final Four, and deservedly so. Clark has nothing to hang her head about, either. Iowa's star was a huge reason people tuned in this weekend. If anything, fans should praise both Iowa and LSU for bringing the heat and excitement to a sport that's been quietly dominating for a few years. This weekend put Women's college basketball on the map. With stars like Clark and Reese, the sport is in good hands. What are your opinions on Reese's celebration? Did she go too far? Or is this a complete joke that it's even a story? Let us know in the comment section below. For the latest in the sports world, stay with us at HNHH.
