Caitlin Clark has never been afraid to speak her mind, and her latest comments are guaranteed to spark debate across the NBA world.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Basketball Night in America,” the Indiana Fever star guard revealed her personal pick in the league’s never-ending GOAT conversation and she didn’t hesitate for a second.

Talking about her courtside photography experience at the Lakers Pacers game, Clark shared a photo she captured of LeBron James and admitted she was proud of it.

Clark was joined on the NBC panel by Maria Taylor, Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady, making the moment even bigger.

Speaking about his quick recovery from a left knee hyperextension, Clark said, “Everyone knew he’d do everything to get back. Not many people average a triple-double.

Clark’s big month continues. She recently returned healthy, made her debut with the U.S. senior national team, dominated at the FIBA World Cup qualifiers, and helped Team USA finish 5–0.
