Angel Reese’s feeling about playing with Caitlin Clark
Reese has previously stated that he would like to play with Clark on the court while donning the same jersey. She said,
“Oh my gosh, I love Caitlin,” “We’ve been competing since we were in AAU. AAU days, we always competed.” “I remember she was at All Iowa Attack, and we would play each other in AAU. It was always fun and always competitive.” “One day, hopefully, me and her can be teammates because she is a great player and a great shooter and a great person and a great teammate.”
As the two rookies entered the All-Star game together, fans expressed their delight and drew analogies between them and previous basketball heroes.
