“My advice to Caitlin, and my advice to anyone that comes in with this level of notoriety, out-of-this-world expectation, whatever the case may be: Be a horse, man. The Kentucky Derby: put your blinders on, go to work, show up to work, punch your clock in, prepare yourself, work on your game, and work on your craft.” James added.
More People Want to Tune In: LeBron James
While discussing the topic with JJ Redick, the four-time NBA champion mentioned that Clark’s professional debut has increased interest in the WNBA.
“The one thing that I love that she is bringing to her sport is that more people want to watch and more people want to tune in. Don’t get it twisted, don’t get it f—ed up: Caitlin Clark is the reason why a lot of great things are going to happen for the WNBA.” James said.
James further mentioned that he had been in a similar condition during his debut, facing all the circumstances. He expressed hope that Clark would achieve great things.
“But I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before. I’ve walked that road before; I hope she kills it. I hope Aliyah Boston does amazing. I hope they do great.” James continued.
Clark has been in the spotlight more frequently due to her large fan base and outstanding gameplay. Recently, she achieved a significant milestone in just three games of her WNBA debut.
Shocking New Details Emerge On What Caused Confrontation Between Kylie Kelce & Angry Female Fan

New details have emerged on the confrontation between Kylie Kelce and an angry female fan outside of a Margate City, New Jersey, restaurant.
Kylie Kelce and her husband, former Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce, were seen having dinner on Saturday night in Margate City. A viral video, initially posted by the “Word to the Wise” podcast on Instagram, shows an obnoxious fan berating Kylie for turning down her request for a picture.
As Jason uncomfortably looks on, another man tries to end the confrontation. The fan is heard telling Kylie Kelce that she won’t be allowed in their town ever again:
According to PhillyChitChat.com, the confrontation started when the woman saw the Kelce’s in the parking lot. The report states that the woman started “banging on” Kelce’s car window before asking for the picture.
When Jason (understandably) declined, the woman caused a scene that prompted Kylie to confront her. It was noted that the man who broke up the confrontation was also part of the Kelce’s party:
“As Jason’s famous car idled there, a women walked up to the famous Tesla truck and began banging on it to get Jason’s attention. K&J got out to find out what was going on. The women then asked for a photo with her family. He declined, it wasn’t a good time, and obviously banging on the nearly $100ks Tesla Truck is RUDE!! The women went ballistic after not getting her way. (BTW there is a video of her banging on the truck, I don’t have that one but I know several people who have seen it, can you imagine?? Also the man in the photo, was with the Kelce’s, he wasn’t manhandling her as someone commented)
Not one to shy away, Kylie defended their decision, as the women shouted the Kelce’s would never be welcomed in Margate again. The women got into Kylie’s face, and not one to shy away Kiley gave it right back to her, telling her to just shut up you’re embarrassing yourself as Kylie’s friend (in blue) encouraged her to break away and go into the restaurant.”
