Over the past several years, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have formed quite a rivalry dating back to their matchups back in college and now extending to the WNBA. But it’s clear that Clark has a lot of respect for her rival.
Following Sunday afternoon’s game between Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Chicago Sky, Caitlin Clark did not hold back in giving praise for Angel Reese for what she has done throughout her career.
“I think what she’s has done with her platform has been absolutely incredible. She has an entire fanbase that has supported her and what she did at Maryland and then LSU,” Clark said after Sunday’s game.
“Obviously, l’ve played her for a very long time, and she’s been a tremendous player. It’s been fun getting to compete against. I think it’s been really good for the game. People just love seeing great matchups, but also at the same time, people tune in for these matchups but also they get to see how amazing these teams are. And then they find new players to support and continue to come back from them.”
The two have a strong rivalry, but it’s clear that Clark also has a lot of respect for Reese.
