WNBA World Reacts as Caitlin Clark Waves Off Angel Reese’s Attempts at Trash-Talking
After Reese and the Dream defeated the Fever on the road on Thursday, the two sides faced off again in Atlanta on Saturday. A notable moment occurred during the first quarter of Saturday’s game as Clark was fouled.
Reese attempted to exchange words with Clark, but the Fever guard waved her off and turned to the sideline to prepare for the inbound pass. As things got chippy, the WNBA world shared its thoughts.
A user shared the video of the incident on X and called the Clark-Reese rivalry “one-sided.”
“She means nothing to her. She gets fouled, and Angel Reese trash-talks her – So Caitlin Clark waves her off. The most one-sided rivalry of all time,” they wrote.
They further claimed that Reese was “obsessed” with getting the better of Clark.

“Angel Reese is obsessed with Caitlin Clark,” they added.
Another user had similar thoughts as they called the rivalry one-sided and criticized Reese for attempting to have a go at Clark at every opportunity.
“Reese’s obsession with Clark is so strange, it’s completely one-sided, one girl just wants to hoop and the other can’t stand a cocky white girl cooking her team,” they wrote.
One WNBA fan pointed out Clark’s hilarious reaction to Reese attempting to exchange words with her.
“Caitlin just waving her off,” they wrote.
Another called out Reese for continuing to stir the pot by provoking Clark.
“She’s like an annoying gnat that won’t go [expletive] away,” they wrote.
The rivalry between Reese and Clark exploded during their college days when they met in the 2023 March Madness national championship game. Reese and the LSU Tigers came out on top in that game, before Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes got their revenge a year later.
