Social media users reacted negatively to Sheryl Swoopes’ lack of affection for Caitlin Clark and her unwillingness to give the rookie recognition. Angel Reese, who says she has seen the same hate on social media as the Hall of Famer, has proven to be her ally, though.
The Chicago Sky center disclosed on the most recent installment of the Unapologetically Angel podcast that she contacted Swoopes and offered her assistance to the four-time WNBA champion. She declared:
“I texted her yesterday, I was like, ‘You know you that, you know you are a legend. Your resume speak for itself, you ain’t gonna speak on nothing.’ And I did see her getting out of character on social media for a couple days. I am like, ‘You know you don’t even need to pop it like that.’”

Reese also commended Swoopes for retaliating on social media, calling the 53-year-old an inspiration. The Sky forward also hinted that Swoopes would stop by her program as a guest. Angel said: “She’s a legend and somebody I have always looked up to. She gonna keep it real with you. We’re going to have her on the podcast soon.”
