Tom Brady Praises Angel Reese By Placing Her On His Mount Rushmore Of 'GOAT' Athletes
Women's basketball has experienced a surge in popularity over the past several years, largely due to the rise of basketball superstars Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. While eyes were on them before the 2023 NCAA National Championship game, where LSU defeated Iowa 102-85, the buzz generated from that matchup sent their stardom into a different stratosphere. Advertisement Now, Angel Reese and Clark, both sophomores in the WNBA, are continuing to push boundaries, shatter records, and advocate for women athletes everywhere — and NFL legend Tom Brady has only positive things to say about it. Angel Reese Is On Tom Brady's Mount Rushmore Of 'GOAT' Athletes MEGA In an interview with Bleacher Report posted to its TikTok account, Brady answered a question about who would be on his personal Mount Rushmore of GOAT (Greatest of All Time) athletes. Of course, the Super Bowl champion began with classic answers, such as "Tiger [Woods]" and "Michael Jordan." Advertisement He continued, "What Rory McIlroy has done, I love that. Shohei Ohtani, what he's done has been unbelievable. Barry Bonds, he went to my high school. I was the biggest fan of him growing up. Michael Phelps, I love him. Michael Johnson." Then, Brady shifted his focus to powerhouse female athletes, mentioning the Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson before adding Reese and Clark to the list as well. "Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, this little thing they got going, I love that. It's been really exciting," he said. Are Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark Rivals? Instagram | Angel Reese Although both Reese and Clark are quick to downplay the "rivalry" label, a clear competitive fire defines their on-court matchups. In a previous interview, Reese offered fans insight into her on-court mindset. Advertisement "I don't think people realize it's not personal. Once we get out between those lines, like, if I see you walking down the street, it's like 'Hey, girl, what's up? Let's hang out.' I think people just take it like we hate each other," she said. "Me and Caitlin Clark don't hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It's just a super competitive game and I would just wish people realized that." Reese added, "Once I get between those lines, there's no friends. I have plenty of friends on the court that I talk to outside of the game. But when I get between those lines, we're not friends. We're not buddies. I'm going to talk trash to you. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get in your head the whole entire game, but after the game, we can kick it. I don't think people really realize that and that's fine, I'll take the villain role." Angel Reese Has Been Playing Against Caitlin Clark For Years Instagram | Angel Reese Clark, who's been forced to sit out the WNBA's regular season for at least two weeks after suffering a left quad injury, also opened up about her on-court dynamic with Reese, stating they "have always been great competitors." Advertisement "There's definitely that competitive fire. Both of us want to win more than anything, and that's how it should be when you're a competitor and you get into a situation like this, whether it was the national championship, whether it's the Elite 8," Clark said. "I think that's the main similarity is how competitive we are. We both grew up loving this game, and we're going to do anything we can to help our teams win." Reese Broke Another WNBA Record Reese, who as a rookie became the first player to record a double-double in a WNBA All-Star Game, broke another record during her second year in late May 2025. Advertisement During the Chicago Sky's game against the Phoenix Mercury, in which she finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds, the league announced Reese became the fastest player in the WNBA's history to reach 500+ points and 500+ rebounds. The 23-year-old accomplished the impressive feat in just 38 games, soaring past the previous record holder, Tina Charles, who earned the honor after 44 games in 2011. Reese Has A New Sneaker Out The "Bayou Barbie" is winning off the court, too, with her latest collaboration with Reebok, the Engine A: Pretty Gritty edition, hitting basketball courts worldwide in early June 2025. Advertisement On social media, the footwear and apparel company posted a clip of Reese's personal logo—the letter "A" cleverly merged with the letter "R" and a halo—with the caption, "Just the beginning," hinting at the release of her full signature shoe, expected to hit retailers in 2026. Reese shared her own excitement on social media, calling the design "fire" before posting a special message for her millions of followers. "It's like my momma named me so perfect because she knew this moment would come!! LOVE LOVE LOVE," she wrote.

Journeyman defenseman Nate Schmidt surprisingly leads Panthers in scoring in the Stanley Cup Final
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers' leading scorer through two games of the Stanley Cup Final is not Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov or Sam Reinhart. It's Nate Schmidt. Yes, the journeyman defenseman who was bought out last summer and is playing for just above the NHL veteran minimum. Schmidt has four points, three of them primary assists, against the Edmonton Oilers. 'He's been great,' teammate Gustav Forsling said Sunday. 'He's been playing unreal, making some huge, huge plays for us in key moments.' Schmidt is 33 and seven years removed from his first trip to the final, losing with Vegas in the Golden Knights' inaugural season to the Washington Capitals, who he broke into the league. He is one of the newcomers who were not part of Florida's title run last year and are looking to hoist the Cup for the first time. 'It's incredibly hard to get back to this stage, and this time I'm just trying to slow it down and enjoy it,' said Schmidt, who has gone from fresh faced with floppy hair to a shaved head and full beard. 'This is the pinnacle of our sport, and be able to be here at the end is special." Schmidt said it's 'kind of reminding yourself that you have that game in you and you're just unlocking it.' He has reminded coach Paul Maurice of the player he was earlier in his career. 'He's getting up the ice, and he looks like he did when he was a kid when he first came into the league in Washington,' Maurice said. "He was dynamic with the way he'd get up the ice. And then coaches beat that out of you and take the fun out of the game for you, but it looks like he's found his fun again.' Oilers changes At their practice in Sunrise, the Oilers unveiled defense pairs that were all different from the first two games. Darnell Nurse and Evan Bouchard were put together, Swedes Mattias Ekholm and John Klingberg, and Brett Kulak with Jake Walman. They quickly downplayed the impact, saying assistant Paul Coffey, a Hall of Fame defenseman as a player, has been changing things up like this all season. 'Our D corps all year long, it depends on sometimes what day of the week, we could be playing with someone new,' Nurse said. 'Even over the course of a game, you'll be playing with three or four different people, so there's a comfort level everyone has with whoever you're out there playing with.' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did not skate, with healthy scratch Jeff Skinner taking his place on the top line. Coach Kris Knoblauch started to say he thinks Nugent-Hopkins will be in for Game 3 on Monday night before calling Edmonton's longest-tenured player a game-time decision. Ekblad is fine Florida's Aaron Ekblad took a puck off his left hand in the second overtime of Game 2 on a shot by Nurse and was writhing in pain on the bench. He missed one shift before returning, practiced Sunday and declared himself good to go. 'It's just a routine blocked shot,' Ekblad said. 'Stick your hand out for it and try and get it knocked down and get off the ice as quickly as possible, because when you get that stinger you can't really grip for a second. But all good now.' McDavid's assist Connor McDavid wowed in Game 2 when he deked around Barkov and Ekblad and passed the puck to Leon Draisaitl for a one-timer power-play goal that was still getting talked about two days later. 'That was pretty routine in Erie back in the day," said Oilers winger Connor Brown, who was junior teammates there with McDavid more than a decade ago. "To do what he's doing (on) the stage that he doing it at, we're lucky to have him.' Ekblad said McDavid having multiple options is the biggest challenge in defending the undisputed best hockey player in the world with otherworldly abilities. 'You're trying to block a shot, you're trying to block a low pass, a backdoor pass and a walk-on-water toe drag,' Ekblad said. 'So, yeah, McJesus.' McDavid blushed when asked about what it takes to make that kind of play, fumbling over words like opponents fumble to try to contain him before coming up with, 'A lot goes into that.' ___

Panthers' Paul Maurice Raises Eyebrows With Stanley Cup Final Comments
Panthers' Paul Maurice Raises Eyebrows With Stanley Cup Final Comments originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers came away with a massive win to open the 2025 Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. The Oilers won the game 4-3 in overtime, which saw multiple ebbs and flows throughout the contest. Advertisement Florida led 3-1 at one point in the game before the Oilers came storming back to tie the game. The Panthers have normally been excellent in holding leads, but in this instance, they let their guard down. However, nobody on the Panthers seems overly concerned with the late-game meltdown. Florida head coach Paul Maurice weighed in on the loss after the fact. 'These games are tight,' Maurice said. 'I don't think that you have domination of the third period in tight games. We were in pretty good shape in 3-1. I think we had some real good pressure. They get it back and then, there were some plays we didn't complete. Not really particularly worried about those." Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice is seen taking questions during media day in advance of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Tychnowicz-Imagn Images Maurice additionally said that this series has the potential to be a seven-game one if the contests are this close. Advertisement 'It [has] potential to be just a spectacular seven-gamer,' Maurice said. These two teams played in an epic seven-game series last year, with Florida coming out on top. But this season, Edmonton owns home-ice advantage, potentially giving them a slight edge. If this series were to go seven games once again, fans would be in for a treat. These are the two best teams in hockey right now, and each matchup seems to be electric. Game 2 between the two sides is scheduled for Friday, June 6, at 8 p.m. ET.
