Angel Reese Dealt 'Brutal Truth' In Rivalry With Caitlin Clark
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have been rivals dating back to their time at the college basketball level.
Reese, starring at LSU, and Clark, starring at Iowa, twice faced off in the NCAA Tournament. Reese and the Tigers topped Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship game. Clark and the Hawkeyes got revenge in the Elite Eight in 2024.
The two have since become two of the biggest stars in the WNBA, with Reese starring for the Chicago Sky and Clark starring for the Indiana Fever. While Clark has been getting a lot of credit for the WNBA's growth, Reese has made it clear that she believes she deserves a lot of credit, too.
"People are talking about women's basketball, you never would think they'd be talking about women's basketball," Reese said in 2024.
"People are pulling up to games. We got celebrities coming to games and sold-out arenas just because of one single game. Just looking at that, I'll take that role. I'll take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. I know I'll go down in history. I'll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that."
But while that might be true to an extent, Ice Cube recently made it clear that when it comes to people being interested in Clark or Reese, there's not much of a debate.
Ice Cube, who offered Caitlin Clark $5 million to play in his BIG3 League, admitted that when he spoke to investors and advertisers, there wasn't much of a debate between Clark and Reese.
The league's sponsors suggested that Clark, not Reese, would make the biggest impact. While an offer was made to Clark, no such offer was made to Reese.
'They didn't tell us the same thing about Angel Reese,' Cube informed TMZ Sports. 'I don't know if we can make that same offer.'
Ice Cube added the door has probably been closed on Clark. Meanwhile, it never seemed to open for Reese.

Atlanta United partnered with the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to honor the strength and resiliency of patients during the match. Barzi, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which caused him to have his leg amputated, walked on stage to hit the golden spike. He also designed a special scarf for the match that highlighted special moments of his life. Alejandro, who lives with sickle cell anemia, served as Atlanta United's honorary captain. Colton, who was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphatic leukemia two years ago, rang the honorary bell at halftime. For him, it was a special ceremony that marked the end of his cancer treatment.
