  • Chicago Sky star Angel Reese and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark often hear their names in the same breath. The two were college basketball's biggest stars when Reese was at LSU and Clark was at Iowa, including a showdown in the 2023 NCAA Championship game where Reese mimicked Clark's "you can't see me" celebration in the final seconds.

Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky rookie, has provided insight into her perspective on the much-discussed rivalry with Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Reese emphasized that the narrative of their rivalry is largely media-driven, stating, "People are going to say what they're going to say, but I'm not going to let that affect me." She highlighted that both she and Clark are focused on their professional growth and the advancement of women's basketball rather than personal competition. Reese also pointed out the positive impact of their rivalry, noting that it brings more attention to the WNBA, which is beneficial for the league's visibility and growth. She expressed respect for Clark, acknowledging her as a great player and competitor, and stressed that their interactions are part of the competitive spirit of the game, not personal animosity.
