Angel Reese Finds Solace in Veteran Teammate and Fans After Defending Infamous Caitlin Clark Fiasco

March Madness is named so for a reason. But still, one of the biggest dramas to ever unfold for the spectators in the history of college basketball was in its 2023 edition. And like any other hot topic, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark were in the middle of this tornado. While all the entities involved have moved past it, the event has become a sour memory for many. But amidst all the chaos, Reese’s now teammate Isabelle Harrison had stood up. And now that the Sky Rookie is appreciating her, the Bayou Barbie fans can’t help but adore the moment.

Recently, the Chi-Town Barbie took to her X account to re-tweet her current teammate’s post from 2023. She captioned it, “such a girls girl! love IZZY.” Seemingly, back when the entire world was crumbling down at Reese, she stood up saying, “I won’t tolerate Angel Reese Slander.”

Rewinding to the National Championship game on April 2, 2023, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark shared a rather infamous moment. The Lady Tiger showed off her ring finger to the now NCAA all-time leading scorer. The intention was to suggest that her championship ring would be there soon. Another action that also grabbed a lot of traction was her “You can’t see me” gesture towards the No. 22 of the Hawkeyes.

The entire thing only built up when celebrities like John Cena himself praised Clark for doing it during one of her games earlier. But when Reese did the same, the fans heavily criticized her. However, everything seems to be good between the two NCAA rivals now. And the fans are also going crazy looking at the Chicago rook expressing her love for the veteran.

Angel Reese fans love how she landed on the right team

ESPN has covered the entire incident in depth in a dedicated section of the two-episode docuseries ‘Full Court Press’. And just like then, the fans are backing their defensive hooper now. But the fact that Harrison too was one of the supporters and now the two play for the same jersey is truly fateful. Hence, when Reese shared the love, her fans too wanted to jump in. According to the initial draft order, Reese could have landed with the Minnesota Lynx. But because of a late trade, she landed in Chicago instead.

“You really went to the RIGHT team. Love how GOD works”

Another X user mentioned that the 2024 WNBA draft class and the previous young generation of hoopers are all about business. According to them, these basketball players are also making the WNBA cool. Surely, a lot is expected of this draft class. And surely, they are coming on top on each and every occasion.

“Yall new generation of players making the WNBA cool yall baddies standing on business”

One Angel Reese fan was surprised how the athlete, whom Reese may not even known back then, had her support. And now, the two are playing in the same team. Recently, the two also dressed up to go to Megan Thee Stallion’s concert, where Reese made a TikTok with the rapper. Izzy, too, got a photo with her. Now, they will stand side by side on the floor to get more wins for their teams.

“O she’s always been in your corner, nice”

A basketball follower also dropped in the comment section to boost Reese’s confidence up a hunch. They attached a video with their comment where ESPN’s Andraya Carter announced Angel Reese won the Rookie of the Week award. According to Carter, while Caitlin Clark is doing what she does, Reese has proven many people wrong who did not believe in her. Surely, the Sky No. 5 has been a great help for her young team on the court. Within a week, she has brought home one win. Moreover, she is averaging 11.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per outing.

“Angel Reese beats out Caitlin Clark for Rookie of the Week”

One true Angel Reese fan showed up and showed the exit doors to all the haters with their comments. According to them, if they asked anyone who dislikes Reese the reason behind it, they would not be able to come up with a valid or unbiased reasoning. The Bayou Barbie has previously mentioned how she has been criticized for the things that other players do too.

“Because atp, I’ll definitely ask why don’t you like her and you know there’s no VALID or UNBIASED reason”

The world has always seen Reese fans standing right beside her through any and every adversity. However, seeing that a professional hooper who did not really expect the rookie to land in her team also does the same is pure gold. Now we surely know that Chicago not only loves good talents but also respects them.
