Angel Reese says rival Caitlin Clark isn’t the only reason WNBA is popular: ‘It’s because of me, too’ Angel Reese doesn’t believe Caitlin Clark is the only reason the WNBA has become popular over the past year.
“I think so many people are watching women’s basketball right now,” the Chicago Sky star told WGN News after practice Monday.
“It all started from the national championship game, and I’ve been dealing with this for two years now, and understand that, yeah, negative things have probably been said about me.
But honestly, I’ll take that because look where women’s basketball is.” Reese, 22, said the league is gaining recognition from people who “you never would think would be talking about women’s basketball.”
Angel Reese said Caitlin Clark is not the only reason the WNBA has become popular over the past year.
The Chicago Sky star said the league is gaining recognition from people who “you never would think would be talking about women’s basketball.”
“People are pulling up to games. We’ve got celebrities coming to games [and] sold-out arenas just because of one single game,” she said, referring to the 2023 women’s NCAA title game, in which her college team, the LSU Tigers, won against Clark’s lowa Hawkeyes.
The forward said she is ready to “take the bad guy role” if it means the WNBA will continue to grow. “I know I’ll go down in history. I’ll look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Yeah, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person.
It’s because of me, too. And I want you to realize that,” she continued “Like, it’s just not ’cause of one person. A lot of us have done so much for this game
“I know I’ll go down in history. I’ll look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Yeah, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person. It’s because of me, too,” she told reporters Monday.
Reese believes the 2023 women’s NCAA title game, in which her college team, LSU, won against Clark’s team, lowa, brought more eyes to women’s basketball.
Clark, also 22, has been lauded by many for taking women’s professional basketball to another level. Charles Barkley recently said WNBA players should be “thanking” the Indiana Fever star “for getting y’all ass private charters.”
“All the money and visibility she’s bringing to the WNBA, what she’s accomplished, give her her flowers,” the 11-time NBA All-Star, 61, said. “Stop being petty, all you women out there…. Caitlin Clark, thank you for bringing all that money and shine to the WNBA.”
LeBron James also said Clark “was the reason why a lot of great things [are] goппа happen for the WNBA.”

“I’m rooting for Caitlin because I’ve been in that seat before. I’ve walked that road before. I hope she kills!” the Los Angeles Lakers star, 39, said on his “Mind the Game” podcast on May 23.
Reese recently took issue with the praise Clark was receiving.
The DC Power Football Club part-owner posted and deleted a message on X after her team beat the New York Liberty last month.
“and that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area (sic) not just cause of one player on our charter flight
#SKYTOWN,” she wrote on May 23.
As for Reese’s personal feelings toward Clark, she said in March that “it’s not personal.”
“Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super-competitive game,” she told reporters. As for Reese’s personal feelings toward her rival, she said in March that “it’s not personal.”
“Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super-competitive game,” she told reporters. “Once I get between those lines, there’s no friends.
I’m going to talk trash to you. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get in your head the whole entire game, but after the game, we can kick it. I don’t think people really realize that.”
It’s a secret so hot it could have melted the Buffalo snow, and it was sealed with a kiss on New Year’s Eve.
Fans swooned over pictures of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s midnight kiss in Kansas City – but little did they know the couple was not only ushering in a new year but vowing to spend the rest of their lives together.
The anonymous creator of the Deux Moi podcast broke the news of what she called a secret ‘engagement.’ last week, claiming that a trusted source told her: ‘Taylor and Travis got engaged 12/31. They did it just the two of them alone before that party they were photographed at.’.
But the loved up couple are not ready to make it official yet.
Swift, 34, and Kelce, also 34, have so much on their plates in the coming months it is simply, ‘too soon to go public’ and make it official.
The hosts went on to discuss how it was ‘too soon’ for them to make any public and official commitment with the playoffs then still to come and Swift’s continued tour.
Deux Moi said: ‘They don’t want to overshadow that. It’s too soon.’
But, however level-headed this decision, Kelce had no problems making his feelings for Swift very public during Sunday’s victorious game against the Buffalo Bills.
With temperatures plummeting on the field, he warmed the hearts of millions with a sweet display just for Swift.
At one point he blew a kiss up to the VIP box where she and his family cheered him on.
At another – after one of the two touchdowns scored in what was the game of his life – he turned to where Swift whooped with joy, formed a love-heart with his hands and sent it straight to her.
It was a public declaration, clear as day that while his head was in the game, his heart was with Swift all the way.
For her part, with an ever-expanding wardrobe of hats, shirts and jackets bearing her boyfriend’s name and number 87, Swift has taken to quite literally wearing her heart on her sleeve.
Sunday was no different as she donned her red hat and cream jacket to cheer the Chiefs on alongside supermodel and actress pal Cara Delevingne, new bestie Brittany Mahomes, 28, and her putative sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, 31, whom she was meeting for the first time along with Kelce’s brother Jason.
Never backwards in coming forwards Jason, 36, stripped off to his waist, pounded Budweisers and roared into the night and the crowd as his little brother and team romped to a 27-24 win in a fiercely fought battle to remain in the running for the Super Bowl.
But while Travis has met Swift’s father and she in turn has now met and spent time with all the Kelce clan – mother Donna, father Ed and brother and sister-in-law Jason and Kylie – both Swift and Kelce know that now is not the time to be making any announcements.
In recent weeks there has been a flurry of flip-flopping headlines – they’re engaged, they’re not engaged, he’s shopping for a ring, they may not go the distance.
On January 11, Page Six reported that the couple plans to get engaged this summer.
On January 12 The Daily Mirror reported that there were ‘no plans’ for an engagement.
And on January 15, TMZ reported insiders questioning whether the relationship would even ‘go the distance.’
Day after day the rumor mill churns. And throughout it all Kelce and Swift have remained serenely and graciously silent.
Because the truth is they know exactly where they’re at in their relationship and the promise that they have made to one another.
But for now, Kelce’s focus must remain on the game, with the Chiefs facing the Baltimore Ravens next week and just one victory away from a spot in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
And for Swift, the consummate professional, it’s time to gear up for the next leg of her blockbuster Eras tour in Japan next month.
With four tour dates leading up to the eve of the Super Bowl on February 11, it seems unlikely Swift will be in the crowd to cheer Kelce in Vegas should the team make it through.
After that she has dates in Australia and Singapore before a couple of months break to decompress before embarking on the monster tour’s European leg which starts in France in May. It is rumored that Kelce – whose hope by then will be to have secured a third Super Bowl ring – plans to join her in Europe.
But however mindful the loved-up couple must be of each other’s careers, their commitment to each other is not in doubt, a fact on which they doubled down as 2023 gave way to 2024.
Shimmering in a silver sparkly dress, celestial-inspired hairpins completing the look, Swift toasted the New Year alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, and wife Brittany with whom she has become fast friends.
Little did others know that they were watching a couple seal a secret promise they had made to each other earlier that evening.
Because hours earlier Kelce, fresh from the Kansas Chief’s 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, and Swift, a now almost constant presence in Arrowhead’s VIP box come gameday, quietly agreed that theirs is a relationship that is heading to the altar.
But, for now, the couple has agreed to keep the news on the down low giving them space to fulfill their promises to their fans and their followers, secure in the knowledge that their promise to each other will keep.
Justin Bieber’s Troubled Journey: A Tale of Fame and Redemption
Justin Bieber’s rise to stardom has been a rollercoaster journey, marred by controversies and exploitation. From his early days as a teenage heartthrob to grappling with the dark side of fame, Bieber’s story is one of redemption and resilience.
At just 18 years old, Bieber found himself immersed in a world of parties, a far cry from the innocence of his youth. Revelations from insiders shed light on Bieber’s reckless behavior, fueled by a cocktail of pills, Molly, and lean. Allegations of Diddy spiking drinks to facilitate networking among industry elites only added to the murky narrative surrounding Bieber’s downward spiral.
Usher, who initially mentored Bieber, passed him onto Diddy, unwittingly exposing him to a lifestyle of excess and indulgence. Bieber’s transformation from a wholesome teen idol to a troubled superstar was rapid, marked by erratic behavior and substance abuse.
The disturbing incident involving Odell Beckham Jr. and Trey Songz at a club underscored Bieber’s descent into chaos. Eyewitnesses recounted Bieber’s alarming behavior, including prolonged periods of staring at himself in the mirror, symptomatic of substance-induced dissociation.
As Bieber grappled with addiction and emotional turmoil, he sought solace in religion, turning to Pastor Carl Lent for guidance. However, Bieber’s relationship with Lent raised eyebrows, with images surfacing of intimate moments between the two, sparking speculation about the nature of their bond.
Bieber’s struggles with substance abuse culminated in a public health scare, as he revealed his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a viral infection causing facial paralysis. Despite facing adversity, Bieber remained resolute in his commitment to recovery, vowing to protect rising stars like Billie Eilish from the pitfalls of fame.
However, Bieber’s association with Pastor Lent soured after allegations of infidelity emerged, prompting Bieber to sever ties with his spiritual mentor. The fallout raised questions about Bieber’s vulnerability and susceptibility to manipulation in an industry rife with exploitation.
Despite the tumultuous chapters in his life, Bieber’s journey is one of redemption and self-discovery. Through introspection and resilience, he emerged from the shadows of his past, embracing a newfound sense of purpose and sobriety.
As Bieber navigates the complexities of fame and fortune, his story serves as a cautionary tale for aspiring artists and a testament to the power of redemption. Despite the challenges he’s faced, Bieber’s evolution from troubled prodigy to conscientious role model offers hope for those struggling with similar demons.
In the end, Bieber’s journey reminds us that true strength lies in confronting our demons and forging a path towards healing and redemption, one step at a time.
