WNBA – Asked about Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese loses patience and annoys the web: “She doesn’t assume!”

Par Guillaume Kagni | Journaliste sportif

After a highly entertaining first season, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are set to write a new chapter in their rivalry. The Chicago player was asked about a subject that also concerns Clark, and her answer provoked many reactions.

For French fans, this WNBA season will be one of explosion for our players. While this may be bad news for the French team in the short term, as Dominique Malonga and Gabby Williams have already announced that they won’t be taking part in the Euro next June, it’s proof that the level is rising in France and that our stars can export themselves.

In addition to the two Seattle players, we’ll also be keeping an eye on Marine Johannès, already very much at ease with the Liberty, and Carla Leite and Janelle Salaün from the Valkyries, the new franchise based in Golden State. There could have been three of them in the San Francisco Bay Area, but Migna Touré was cut despite a marvellous preseason.

But if we step away from this Franco-French prism, the summer will be marked above all by the new chapter in the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. The latter will be surrounded by a competitive team and could surprise many on her way to the title. In Chicago, the team’s superstar was asked about this opposition, and her answer made the rounds on social networks:

Journalist: Last year, you made a pretty powerful statement about how the reason people watched women’s basketball was not just because of one girl, Caitlin Clark, but because of you. A year later, what’s…

Angel Reese: Next question.

Last season, Angel Reese asked fans and journalists to respect her impact on the explosion of women’s basketball in the USA. This year, she didn’t even let this reporter finish, as he wanted to know how her thoughts were evolving. A cold attitude that is far from unanimous on social networks. Popularity comes with media demands.
