Jason Whitlock claims Angel Reese is only famous because she taunted Caitlin Clark in last year’s national championship game – and says their rivalry is DEAD after Iowa star’s 41-point display in Monday night’s win.

Former sports pundit turned conservative talk show host Jason Whitlock delivered a surprising and scathing commentary on the abilities of Angel Reese.

Whitlock took it upon himself to declare the rivalry dead while also choosing to put down Reese.

‘We can officially quit putting Angel Reese on Caitlin Clark’s level,’ Whitlock posted to Twitter.

‘Stop it. One is an all-time great player. The other got famous for taunting. The rivalry is dead.’

It was a weird change in direction after he praised her earlier in the evening

Calling Reese ‘famous for taunting’ is an interesting change of course – considering that a little over an hour before Whitlock sent that tweet out, he was praising Reese.

‘Great game. Angel Reese has stepped up,’ Whitlock tweeted out at 8:18pm last night.

It should also be noted that Reese won the SEC Player of the Year award in the 2023-24 season.

That’s in part to the 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds per game that she put up. Her points mark was third-best in the SEC and her rebound mark led the conference and was second in the entire country.
