"No one would know Angel Reese if she didn’t go after Caitlin Clark": Fans engage in heated debate over Sky star's infamous hand gesture motives

Last season, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese added another chapter to their growing rivalry in the WNBA. As the two former top 10 picks prepare for year two in the pros, fans recently debated the infamous moment that started their feud.

Before they were constantly debated for Rookie of the Year, Clark and Reese first became intertwined during their college career. Most notably, when the LSU star recreated Clark's "you can't see me" celebration to her.

Looking back on that moment, fans continue to argue that Caitlin Clark is the one who put Reese on the map in terms of notable women's players.

Years removed from the incident, fans continue to call out Reese for taunting Clark like this after a win. They feel her actions lacked sportsmanship to her fellow competitor.

"This shit was Dillon Brooks level corny," one fan said.

"I’m sorry but she looks stupid," another fan said.

"No one is still mad, this was years ago and Clark paid zero attention to it. It was personal and it’s ok to admit it." Said one fan.

Following their battles in college, Clark and Reese went on to be All-Stars as rookies and helped usher in a new generation of the WNBA. Given their history, the two are sure to be debated against by fans and analysts for years to come.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese projected to be among top athletes for the next 25 years

Coming off impressive rookie seasons, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are on pace to be future stars in the WNBA. Recent predictions suggest that they'll be among the most notable names in all of sports over the next two-plus decades.

As we kick off the year 2025, the people at Bleacher Report put together a list of the 25 athletes they think will be the best for the next 25 years. Both women would end up making an appearance on these rankings.

Just sneaking in at No. 23 is Reese. The Chicago Sky forward is around names like Jayson Tatum, Shedeur Sanders and MLB star Juan Soto.

Caitlin Clark nearly finished atop this list, coming in at No. 2. The only athlete edging her out is San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama.

Given all the records and accolades she's racked up over the past year, it's not shocking to see Clark placed so high on this list. Fresh off being named Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year, the Indiana Fever guard is one of the biggest mainstream stars in sports today.
