All eyes were on Caitlin Clark Monday night as the superstar player for Iowa faced off against Angel Reese and LSU in a highly anticipated NCAA game. In the end, it was Clark and her team that reigned supreme and moved on to the next round of the tournament.
Clark knew that she was going to be earning a lot of attention for the game and she purposefully wore a pair of shoes that would turn a lot of heads.
Keen observers noted that Clark was commemorating Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers by choosing to wear the Kobe 5 Protro "Bruce Lee" sneakers.
Instead of donning Iowa's black and white color scheme, Clark went with the Bruce Lee Kobe 5's, which are decked out to look like Lee's "Enter The Dragon" outfit.
This was obviously a nod to Bryant, who was an influence on Clark just as he was an influence on many other modern basketball players. Perhaps this was a way for Clark to bring out her own "Mamba Mentality" and hype her and her team up before the big game.
She wore the Bruce Lee Kobe's tonight man. The Kill Bill Kobe's. She ain't come out here to fuck around.
Told the bros on the #podcast that Caitlin was going for 40. And I'm not patting myself on the back here. This is a testament strictly to her. That girl is a grudge holder. The type of grudge holder that the all-time greats are. Cut from that "and I took that personally " cloth.
