As Clark continues to make history with every game she plays, there is another WNBA superstar who has set an unbelievable record. Angel Reese, the 2023 NCAA Champion, has set the record for the most double-doubles in a single season. Not only that, the Bayou Barbie even holds the SEC record for the most number of rebounds in a single season. So, as Clark is a record-breaker herself and has a competitive rivalry with Reese, she is looking to dethrone the Bayou Barbie. Due to this, there is an intense rivalry between both the 21-year-olds, however, who will prevail victorious?

The ongoing rivalry between Clark and Reese

After the NCAA championship match between the LSU Tigers and the IOWA Hawkeyes, the rivalry between the two WNBA stars started. Reese is famous for her bold presence on the court and she was even seen taunting Clark. In the dying minutes of LSU’s 102-85 victory, she performed the “you can’t see me” celebration and pointed to her ring finger.

Reese, after winning the championship, went on to say, “The world is always going to have a good girl and a bad girl. I’ll take that I’m going to be the bad guy because I know I’ve grown women’s basketball and inspired people.”

However, Reese acknowledged Clark’s skill and rivalry during the post-match interview. She emphasized the point that due to Clark’s performance in the Championship game, women’s basketball is getting a push and gaining more audiences. So, despite their on-court rivalry, Reese and Clark retain mutual respect off the court, highlighting their contributions to the advancement of women’s basketball.
