Angel Reese sends shockwaves around WNBA by revealing plans to ‘hopefully’ one day form super team with rival Caitlin Clark…see more
Their Larry Bird-Magic Johnson esque rivalry has been the best thing to happen to the W in years. Maybe ever.
It also put former Tigers standout Reese on the national map after she taunted Clark by gesturing to her ring finger to symbolize the championship ring she was about to receive for the 102-85 win. Clark and Reese played head-to-head four times during their rookie WNBA seasons, with the Fever winning three of them.
When Rookie of the Year Clark played Reese, she averaged 21 points, seven rebounds, and ten assists, while Reese averaged 14 points, 13 rebounds, and two assists in their head-to-head battles.
Those iconic battles date all the way back to their AAU days.
However, despite lining up on opposite ends of the court for most of their careers, Reese admits she one day hopes to team up with Clark in what would be a league — and potentially sport-defining — decision. “Me and Caitlin have been playing against each other since we were kids,” Reese said.
“It’s just super competitive, we’re two great competitors, we’ve brought a lot of fans to this league, and I think we’re going to continue to do that.
