'Shady' McCoy overrules Joy Taylor's Angel Reese defense, highlights why Caitlin Clark has hype: "Searched for that attention"

Days after the infamous Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever game and its Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark showdown, the sports community is still debating what happened. More so when Reese declined a media interview after the game, only to blurt out quotes a few days after that became barbershop talk.

In the recent episode of "Speak" on Fox Sports, Angel Reese's comments that people watch games to see her as well as Caitlin Clark have been debated.

Joy Taylor gave her opinion, defending Angel Reese and saying that she helped create the hype by playing the villain role in Clark's hero story.

"All she is saying is and she is factually correct, the two needed each other," said Taylor. "She was a part of that and it is inarguable because that is what happened. We were not talking about Caitlin Clark on these shows, we were not debating women's basketball on these shows before that moment happened."

However, LeSean "Shady" McCoy had a different take. He said Angel Reese rode on Clark's popularity and sought a piece of the attention by going at her since there are many eyes on the former Iowa Hawkeye.

"I think she really searched for that attention," said McCoy. "She was seeking for it — when I watch these girls play and I feel like myself and everybody else is really watching women play now, they want to see Caitlin play basketball."

Reports surfaced that Chennedy Carter was harrassed for hip-checking Caitlin Clark in the game.

"finding out our teams hotel to pull with a camera as we got off the bus and put it in my teammates face & HARRASS her is NASTY WORK. this really is outta control and needs to STOP," posted Reese.
