Basketball fans are teeing off on a WNBA legend over her controversial take on rookie superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
Caitlin Clark, the first overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, is a virtual lock to win Rookie of the Year honors. The 22-year-old is playing like an MVP candidate, averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Angel Reese broke the WNBA rebounds single-season record on Sunday against the Minnesota Lynx, surpassing the mark of 404 that Sylvia Fowles set in 2018. Reese is already up to 418 on the year.
After Reese broke the record, Basketball Hall of Famer and two-time WNBA Champion Lisa Leslie took to X/Twitter and stated that both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese deserve to win Rookie of the Year honors:
Needless to say, plenty of fans weren’t buying Leslie’s hot take.
“Lisa, we have a lot of respect for you but let’s be serious for a second”.
“How are you all including Reese just because of one category (Rebounds) when Caitlin is dominating almost every other stat? Plus, she’s leading her team to a 6th seed playoff spot. Afraid of media backlash if you admit it’s Caitlin Clark? Ridiculous”.
“Lost all respect for Leslie today. Clark leads Reese in EVERY STAT CATEGORY except rebounding. Clark LEADS THE WHOLE #WNBA in points scored+assisted-on points by a WIDE margin. Reese leads the WNBA with the worst shooting % inside 6 feet”.
