Angel Reese wants the credit alongside Caitlin Clark that she believes she deserves for the growing popularity of women\u2019s basketball, and she isn\u2019t going to back down from fighting for it.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Sky star made it clear how she feels about it two days after the debate was reignited by teammate Chennedy Carter\u2019s heavily scrutinized cheap shot on Clark during Chicago\u2019s loss to Indiana on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I\u2019ll go down in history,\u201d Reese told reporters Monday. \u201cI\u2019ll look back in 20 years and be like: \u2018Yeah, the reason why we\u2019re watching women\u2019s basketball is not just because of one person, it\u2019s because of me too, and I want you to realize that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angel Reese believes the physical play that Caitlin Clark has experienced isn’t new to the WNBAJust more \ud83d\udc40”The reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of 1 person. It’s because of me, too. I want y’all to realize that”More: https:\/\/t.co\/3fNUxipTTD pic.twitter.com\/1YbGG4mWuL\u2014 GNSportsTV (@GNSportsTV) June 3, 2024<\/p>\n
For Reese, sparking fans\u2019 interest goes back to LSU\u2019s national championship game win over Iowa two years ago, where she hit Clark with John Cena\u2019s \u201cYou Can\u2019t See Me\u201d hand gesture to cement a rivalry that continued into last season and now the WNBA. <\/p>\n
This year, Iowa ended LSU\u2019s season in the Elite Eight and generated record TV ratings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reese became arguably just as recognizable as Clark and was the focal point of plenty of scrutiny during her senior season, which included a bizarre benching.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all started from the national championship game, and I\u2019ve been dealing with this for two years now,\u201d Reese said. \u201cUnderstanding, yeah, negative things have probably been said about me, but honestly I\u2019ll take that because look at where women\u2019s basketball is.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are talking about women\u2019s basketball, who you never would think would be talking about women\u2019s basketball. People are pulling up to games. We got celebrities coming to games, sold-out arenas just because of one single game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reese, who seemingly cheered on Carter from the bench after her flagrant foul on Clark made it clear that she\u2019s OK taking on that type of role if it helps bring attention to the game. <\/p>\n
The foul has sparked a debate about what the WNBA should be doing to better protect Clark or if the Fever need to find an \u201cenforcer\u201d to help her.<\/p>\n
Still, Reese believe she and others are also generating attention, not just the star of Clark \u2014 the NCAA\u2019s all-time leading scorer and the WNBA\u2019s No. 1 draft pick in 2024.<\/p>\n
Pat McAfee got into hot water on ESPN for calling Clark a \u201cwhite bitch\u201d in a segment Monday on \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d that presented some metrics that the Fever star is at least the lead driver of the attention in the WNBA. <\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of us have done so much for this game,\u201d Reese said. \u201cChennedy has been here before, but there are a lot of great players in this league who have deserved this or a really long time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
