LeBron James<\/a> appeared to defend LSU women\u2019s basketball star Angel Reese following a social media uproar over an alleged lack of sportsmanship toward the end of the Tigers\u2019 national title win.<\/p>\n

Reese gave Iowa\u2019s Caitlin Clark a taste of her own medicine<\/a> when she pointed to her ring finger to signify LSU\u2019s championship run and hit the John Cena “you can\u2019t see me taunt” after Clark had done it after scoring a basket earlier in the tournament. Clark earned praise from Cena for it.<\/p>\n

As Reese received a tremendous amount of blowback, James was among those who came to her defense. He retweeted sports media figures David Aldridge, Ryan Clark and Emmanuel Acho, who defended Reese. He also quote-tweeted a reaction to Reese\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

Reese, who was named the tournament\u2019s Most Outstanding Player, explained herself to reporters and to ESPN after the game was over. Reese pointed out the media was quick to criticize her because she didn\u2019t “fit the narrative.” She said she didn\u2019t hear any criticism about others doing the same celebrations.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy. All year, I was critiqued about who I was. The narrative \u2013 I don\u2019t fit the narrative. I don\u2019t fit the box you all want me to be in. I\u2019m too ‘hood. I\u2019m too ghetto. You told me that all year,” Reese said.<\/p>\n

“But when other people do it \u2013 you all don\u2019t say nothing. So, this is for the girls that look like me. That\u2019s going to speak up for what they believe in. It\u2019s unapologetically you and that\u2019s what I did it for tonight. It was bigger than me tonight. It was bigger than me. Twitter is going to go in a rage every time. And, I mean, I\u2019m happy. I feel like I helped grow women\u2019s basketball this year. I\u2019m super happy and excited. I\u2019m looking forward to celebrating and then next season.”<\/p>\n

Before hitting the podium, Reese told ESPN what she was thinking in the moment and gave props to Clark as a player. She pointed to how Clark waved off a South Carolina player in the national semifinal on Friday night, which even prompted\u00a0a reaction from LSU<\/a>\u00a0guard Alexis Morris before the game.<\/p>\n

“Caitlin Clark is a hell of a player for sure, but I don\u2019t take disrespect lightly,” Reese said. “And she disrespected Alexis and South Carolina, they\u2019re still my SEC girls, too. You all are not going to disrespect them either.”<\/p>\n

“I wanted to pick her pocket. I had a moment at the end of the game, and I was just in my bag.”<\/p>\n

LSU won the game, 102-85, for the program\u2019s\u00a0first national championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
