LeBron James gives shoutout to Oregon’s ‘Queen’ Sabrina Ionescu

Game recognizes game and when it comes to triple-doubles, LeBron James is one of the experts in basketball history. But of all of the greats, James may be the biggest basketball fan of them all. So it should be no surprise he’s taken note of another player striving for greatness in all aspects of the game.

During Sunday night’s football festivities, LeBron gave a shoutout to Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu on another triple-double on Sunday afternoon. Ionescu added to her NCAA record, notching her 22nd career triple-double in a win at Arizona. In her postgame interview, she didn’t even believe she had enough assists and the astonishment caught the King’s eye, who gave the star guard a shoutout.

The Ducks went 1-1 over the weekend and probably will fall out of the No. 2 spot in the Women’s AP poll, but Ionescu and the Ducks will be heard from plenty more before the season ends. But even though the Ducks dropped one this week, they can always count on the support of LeBron.
