Reese was asked about the rivalry with Clark in a recent appearance at a Complex event.
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark often hear their names in the same breath.
The rivalry between the two has been at the forefront of women's basketball discourse ever since. Now, they both lead their respective WNBA franchises, which happen to be very close to each other."I think it's just competition, it's been competition since college," Reese said during the interview. "Being able to play against Caitlin, I've been playing against Caitlin since we were probably in eighth or ninth grade. We both were really competitive in AAU.
"Obviously social media is going to put two women against each other," Reese continued. "I think it's been something that's negative, but also positive. I think it shines light on women's basketball so I'll take that of being able to be the person that gets the hate but I know that at the end of the day I'm growing women's basketball and helping women's basketball.
