NEED TO KNOW
- Angel Reese insists she’s not bothered by the attention Caitlin Clark receives in the WNBA spotlight
- Claims to be “happy” for Clark while unfollowing four sports media outlets mid-interview
- Both players are fan favs, but the coverage gap has sparked intense fan debates — and memes
Definitely Not Jealous, Okay?
CHICAGO — Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese made it very clear this week that she is absolutely not, under any circumstances, jealous of Caitlin Clark’s fame. “Why would I be?” Reese said while rolling her eyes so hard they briefly disconnected from her Wi-Fi.
She then offered a symbolic pinky swear to reporters, which she says “makes it official.”
Respectfully Annoyed
Although Reese has carved out her own fan base and continues to rack up double-doubles, media coverage has largely orbited around Clark. When asked how she felt about the attention disparity, Reese replied, “I’m happy for her. I love that for her. Genuinely. Super fun.”
She was later overheard whispering “go off, media darling” into a Gatorade bottle.
Clark Responds With Midwestern Diplomacy
Caitlin Clark, who continues to answer questions about Reese with the grace of someone trying to return soup at a polite restaurant, said, “I think we’re both great for the game. It’s not about me, it’s about women’s basketball.”
Analysts confirmed Clark’s heart rate remained steady during the statement, unlike Reese’s social media manager, who had to be sedated.
League Enjoys Free Drama
The WNBA, now blessed with rivalries that don’t require actual hostility but do boost ratings, has declined to comment. However, one executive did send out an email with the subject line:
Do NOT discourage this energy. Let the girls cook.
Unnamed Executive
At press time, Reese posted a cryptic tweet reading “some people get the crown, others ARE the crown 👑,” followed by a Story that was just a black screen with “LOL” in Comic Sans.
