When Grammy winner Lecrae took a courtside seat at the Atlanta Dream game, he probably didn’t realize he was signing up for a Caitlin Clark crossover clinic – but, oh, did he get schooled!
Christian Rapper Seeks Divine Intervention for Defender’s Ankles
If there’s one thing Caitlin Clark knows how to do, it’s put on a show – and not even a Grammy-winning Christian rapper can sit through her moves without feeling the holy spirit of basketball. Lecrae found himself courtside as Clark dished out a behind-the-back crossover that left Atlanta defenders praying for ankle protection. As for Lecrae? His reaction was pure meme gold – a face that WNBA Twitter instantly baptized as the “stank face.”
A fan on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) wrote, “CAITLIN BEHIND THE BACK AND HE WAS GAGGED,” gathering nearly 400,000 views as people marveled at Clark’s wicked move. Another chimed in with, “She got Lecrae making that church face!” Can I get an Amen?
Clark Channels MJ and Kobe, but ‘Can’t Create Her Own Shot?’
Clark wasn’t just out there to break ankles – she was out there to break narratives, too. The WNBA All-Star’s tongue-out swagger as she eyed the basket had everyone thinking of Jordan and Bryant. One unimpressed skeptic on X shot back, “But she can’t create her own shot,” to which the internet responded with a collective eye-roll. After all, Clark’s 18.0 points per game (leading all rookies) speaks louder than any hot take. Angel Reese? A respectable second with 13.5 PPG, but Clark is operating on a different level.
Against Atlanta, Clark posted 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, with only two turnovers – and a crossover so nasty it sent Lecrae into prayer mode. Indiana Fever pulled off an 84-79 win despite a late scare, adding another game to their best season since 2016.
So, Just How Much Does a Front-Row Seat to the Caitlin Clark Show Cost?
Lecrae didn’t just show up to witness greatness – he paid for it. Courtside seats for Clark’s debut have skyrocketed, reaching up to $2,453 at Gametime, and going as high as $10,000 for her record-breaking game at Iowa. Imagine shelling out that cash, only to find yourself in a viral video looking bewildered.
In fact, four different WNBA teams have set attendance records this season when facing Clark’s Fever. The Minnesota Lynx saw 19,023 fans fill the arena to see not just Clark, but also Maya Moore’s jersey retirement. Atlanta Dream has also doubled down, squeezing in an extra 33 people to break their attendance record – twice in one season. Clearly, wherever Clark goes, the fans (and Lecrae) follow.
The Moral of the Story? Don’t Bet Against Clark, Even from Courtside
Lecrae’s face may be the meme of the week, but Caitlin Clark’s game is the real headline. With ten games left in the season, Indiana is already enjoying its highest win total since 2016. If you’re hoping to catch the Caitlin Clark experience live, just be prepared to drop some serious cash – and maybe pray your ankles are ready for the ride.
