The WNBA is buzzing not just about Caitlyn Clark’s recent endorsement deal with Adidas, but also about her ongoing rivalry with Angel Reese. These two standout players have become the focus of constant comparison, especially given their shared history dating back to college basketball.
Angel Reese, the LSU star, had a challenging rookie season in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. Despite averaging 11.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game—decent stats on paper—her shooting percentage, a mere 39%, left much to be desired, particularly for a player expected to dominate near the basket. It often seemed like Reese was locked in a battle with herself, collecting rebounds from her own missed shots, adding frustration to her performance.
What really captured people’s attention, though, wasn’t just her numbers—it was the dynamic between her and Caitlyn Clark.
Reese’s college career reached its peak when she led LSU to a national title, but her controversial taunting of Clark after the game stirred up even more headlines. Since then, the two players have been linked in a heated rivalry.
While Reese struggled in her WNBA debut, Clark was flourishing, leading to a remarkable 400% increase in viewership during her games. Clark’s dominance on the court made it feel like she was playing chess while everyone else, including Reese, was stuck playing checkers.
Adding to the pressure on Reese was the Chicago Sky’s dismal 13-27 record, which amplified the weight of her every missed shot. Yet, despite these setbacks, Reese wasn’t backing down. She set an impressive record of 15 consecutive double-doubles, showing that while she was struggling, she hadn’t lost her determination. Her general manager praised her relentless drive, noting that she wasn’t content with just being good—she wanted to be great.
The contrast between the two stars is undeniable.
While Clark’s meteoric rise continues to capture the spotlight, Reese is still searching for her breakthrough. The media has fed off the tension between their divergent paths, especially after Clark’s lucrative Adidas deal. However, Reese remains focused on improvement. She’s voiced her desire to reset and grow, which might be the key to unlocking her full potential.
As Reese prepares for her sophomore season, the big question is whether her rivalry with Clark could be the spark she needs to elevate her game. Could this healthy competition push her to overcome her struggles and finally meet the high expectations placed on her since her college days? One thing is certain: Angel Reese’s journey is far from over, and her future in the WNBA is filled with possibilities.
