The atmosphere in the arena left Lakers star LeBron James impressed, as he shared FIBA's post on Twitter, after Fenerbahce beat USK Prague 83-74 to advance to the final game.

LeBron's particular attention was on Kayla McBride, who finished the game with 15 points and had an important share in the win.

James wrote, "So fire! Kayla McBride got so much game too! Tough."

With over 51 million followers, LeBron James is the 26th most followed person on Twitter.

In a 2017 interview, James explained that he has been a fan of women's basketball even in his youth, when he watched WNBA legends like Sheryl Swoopes and Chamique Holdsclaw.

"Now, just watching Diana Taurasi and watching Sue Bird, watching Elena Delle Donne, just to name a few - those are some great inspirations," he said.

"Those are some great players who will inspire the next female baller that will come up and play, so I appreciate what they do," he added.

For James, a champion of women's sports, it makes no difference who is playing the game. "I love the game of basketball," he said. "So it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female (player). I love to watch the game of basketball."
