The WNBA has seen a noteworthy rise in ubiquity over the past two seasons, to a great extent driven by the entry of Caitlin Clark. A major component behind this surge is her high-profile competition with Blessed messenger Reese. The pressure between the two stars has ended up a talking point both on and off the court—and later comments from previous NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III have included indeed more drama.
Griffin claimed on July 10 that individuals of Reese’s inward circle trusted in him, saying that Reese “despises” Clark. Concurring to Griffin, the root of the issue is steady media comparisons, which have supposedly baffled Reese and made her feel overshadowed.
However, this claim didn’t go unchallenged. Reese reacted on social media, and indeed her mother ventured in, freely denying the report. She emphasized that Angel’s circle is exceptionally little and close-knit—so much so that no one would have shared those sorts of sentiments with Griffin.
Here’s how the two players are performing this season:
Angel Reese (Chicago Sky) – 13.3 focuses, 12.8 bounce back, 3.8 helps per diversion, 42.4% shooting.
Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever) – 17.4 focuses, 5.0 bounce back, 8.6 helps per diversion, 38.6% shooting.
