Lakers News: Angel Reese’s Old Tweet Throws Shade at LeBron James Ahead of Lakers Season

AM WNBA star Angel Reese recently stirred up some conversation with a now-deleted tweet that seemed to take a jab at LeBron James. As the Los Angeles Lakers gear up for their upcoming season, this resurfaced tweet has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. The Lakers are set to kick off their season in less than two months, and there’s plenty of anticipation surrounding the team. LeBron James, entering his 22nd NBA season at age 40, remains a key figure for the Lakers as they aim to solidify their status among the league’s elite. While the NBA is still in its offseason, the WNBA is in full swing. Rookie sensations Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are making headlines, both vying for the Rookie of the Year title.

Their recent matchup saw Reese’s Indiana Fever defeat Clark’s Chicago Sky, with Clark scoring a career-high 31 points. After the game, James tweeted in support of Clark, “CAITLIN CLARK!!!!!! HI HATERS,” which reignited interest in Reese’s earlier tweet from 2021. In that tweet, Reese criticized James for not stepping up during the Lakers’ playoff loss to the Phoenix Suns. This old tweet adds an interesting layer to the current narrative, especially as James shows support for Clark. Despite the past comments from Reese, Clark’s impressive performance and growth in the league have made her a standout player.

Clark is having a remarkable rookie season, averaging 18.0 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. Her skill set and ability to elevate her teammates have positioned her as a rising star in the WNBA. As the Lakers prepare for their season, the dynamics between these players highlight the evolving landscape of basketball, where rivalries and support can coexist.
