Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, eternal rivals since their college basketball days-Clark with the Iowa Hawkeyes and Reese with the LSU Tigers-have always maintained an intense competition and tense rivalry. Who could forget the moment that left NCAA fans stunned and became iconic, when Reese delivered the famous “You can’t see me” gesture, popularized by John Cena, directly toward Clark?
Now, that fierce rivalry has carried over to the WNBA, with Clark playing for the Indiana Fever and Reese standing tall for the Chicago Sky. After their rookie season in the professional league, Clark’s edge over Reese was clear, having led her team to the playoffs and earning the WNBA Rookie of the Year title.
Recently, however, an epic reenactment of this rivalry was brought to life by two students who, with the support of their classmates, imitated the face-off between Clark and Reese in a playful, yet thrilling performance.
In the video, the two impersonators are cheered on by fans waving signs as they push and taunt each other, capturing the intensity and excitement that Clark and Reese bring to the court.
There’s no doubt that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are admired by fans of all ages across the country. Their actions on and off the court have a significant impact on the community, making it essential for both players to uphold a professional image in every sense.
Every step they take or word they say is closely watched, not only by their fans but by all who follow the WNBA, as this new generation of players continues to captivate audiences across the United States.
Now, as the league’s offseason progresses, fans eagerly await the next season for Clark and Reese to reignite their rivalry on the court, while the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky adapt to their respective new coaches.

Chicago Sky‘s choice of Tyler Marsh, a former assistant coach with the Las Vegas Aces, to be their next head coach has already sparked positive reactions. Marsh has been vocal about his admiration for Chicago’s rising talent and Angel Reese subtly showed her enthusiasm with a single-letter post on X shortly after the news broke, signaling her approval.
“Excuse me?! We’re grieving, have some respect!” Aces player Sydney Colson responded to Reese‘s ‘W.’ post.
Reese also added a humorous twist, sending a playful message to Colson, who had shared her disappointment over Marsh‘s departure.
“Sorry but your time is UP. It’s our turn! I’ll send you some tissue tho sister girl unless you want to come join this side too,” Reese joked.
With Colson now a free agent, there’s speculation that she might consider joining Reese and the Sky for the upcoming season, adding even more excitement to Chicago’s fresh start.
“Lmaoo u just pissed me off so bad with this,” Colson replied.
Marsh’s appointment
The Chicago Sky have appointed Marsh to a multi-year contract as head coach. Marsh, who also managed player development for the Aces, will now lead a young Sky roster, including rising stars Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.
Chicago also holds a lottery pick in the upcoming WNBA draft. However, the Dallas Wings could exercise a pick swap, meaning the Sky’s position might not be the top spot even with a favorable lottery outcome.
Marsh steps in following Teresa Weatherspoon’s departure after one season, in which the Sky missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018 with a 13-27 record.
At age 36, Marsh will be the fourth head coach for Chicago since their 2021 championship win. During his tenure with the Aces, he contributed to back-to-back titles before the team was edged out by New York in this year’s semifinals.
