Like Clark, James entered the NBA in 2003 as the No. 1 overall pick and immediately became one of the most popular players in the league. With that popularity comes a lot of hate as well though, and that is something that both James and Clark have had to deal with a lot.
Despite being talked about nonstop in the media and online, both Clark and James have been able to navigate it all and help their teams win at young ages.
The Indiana Fever had the worst record in their conference last season, which earned them the No. 1 overall pick to take Clark out of Iowa. After struggling again to begin this year, they have found their form in recent weeks and now sit in a playoff spot at 17-16.
Clark had arguably her best game over the weekend with a career-high 31 points to go along with 12 assists. He then followed that up with a 28-point, 12-assist performance as the Fever won their fourth straight game.
That earned Clark a shoutout from James himself as he wanted to check in with the haters as the rookie continues to ball out
