Caitlin Clark has taken her revenge on Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers after a year, and she did it with style. The Iowa Hawkeyes superstar single-handedly eliminated Angel Reese and the Tigers to proceed to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. After a 41-point performance by carrying her entire team on her shoulders, former Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas decided to subtly compare her to Michael Jordan.
Clark was all around the court today, making plays, assists, rebounding, and hitting tough shots. That might have reminded Arenas about the Chicago Bulls icon. To draw comparisons, he used famous American rapper Lil Wayne’s viral song ‘Put Some Keys on That’ from his mixtape ‘Da Drought 3′.
Arenas shared some lyrics from the above song, “Real talk, you n***** can’t guard me, two n***** can’t guard me, you looking at Jordan,” with a picture of Clark in the back. He also added in his tweet, “Caitlin Clark to LSU.”

Well, these are historic numbers and records just like Jordan! So, Arenas has a point here. Also, he was not the only one who drew comparisons between
His Airness and Clark.Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young has a hilarious MJ-Clark comparison
Clark’s deep threes had the LSU Tigers in denial. They couldn’t help but show it on the court. Tigers’ Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith unknowingly recreated the Michael Jordan meme from his famous documentary The Last Dance. Trae Young, who is sidelined due to a thumb injury, had some time on his clock to watch the above Elite Eight match-up. After the reaction of the LSU stars got his attention, he tweeted, “The reverse MJ meme”.

Young has been ardently following the NCAA this season. He has given a shout-out to a lot of players over the last few days. That includes Zach Edey from the Purdue Boilermakers, DJ Burns Jr. from the NC State Wolfpack, Dalton Knecht from the Tennessee Volunteers, Ja’Kobe Walter from the Baylor Bears, etc.

Well, looks like the injury has helped Young to follow the NCAA closely. The latest shout-out was to Clark, and it looks like many want to put her in the same conversation as Michael Jordan. Do you agree?
