Reese has credited both the league and Collier individually on numerous occasions for helping her development heading into her second WNBA season. After Tuesday’s win, Collier spoke to the media and made her feelings on Reese clear.
“It’s like I want you to develop, but maybe not against us,” Collier said, jokingly. “No, it’s great. I feel like that is what it is about. Like paying it forward, especially helping the younger generation to develop, to get better. … I want her to develop her game, I want her to get better and better, because she’s so talented. To have even a small part of that, that she feels like I’m helping her, I just feel really grateful that I got to be part of that process at all.”
