Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark<\/a>may be a polarizing figure in the WNBA, but she has the support of NBA greats\u2014most notably LeBron James, whom she calls \u201cmy favorite player of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to Saturday\u2019s WNBA season opener between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, the Los Angeles Lakers star dedicated an entire social media post to Clark. He wrote:

Clark, who was alerted to the post after the Fever\u2019s 93\u201358 victory over Angel Reese\u2019s Chicago Sky, responded, \u201cThe greatest of all time.

Now, Clark is opening up about what LeBron\u2019s public endorsement meant to her, confessing, \u201cI thought it was kind of fake at first\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
