WNBA Fans Fire Serious Complaint To ESPN Over Big Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese Mistake
The 2024 WNBA All-Star game was one of the most highly anticipated exhibitions in league history. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have brought millions of new viewers to the WNBA, and the All-Star game gave fans the opportunity to watch both players unite for one matchup.
Clark and Reese were both mic’d up on the ESPN network, giving fans a chance to listen to their interactions with the league’s biggest stars.
While snippets of their conversations were released online and featured on live television, ESPN has received backlash for not sharing a particular conversation between Clark and Reese.
“I know that bucket went viral. I haven’t checked my phone yet, (but) my phone’s blowing up,” Reese said. “(Clark) even said on the bench, ‘You know how many people are happy right now?’ I was like, man, I already know. I’m already knowing, so I’m gonna go see that video everywhere.”

While it’s unclear what exact play Clark and Reese were discussing, they connected on an offensive play that went viral. Clark found Reese on the block for a dump-off pass to the Sky forward, and the two clapped up after the play, with the crowd roaring in celebration.
Their offensive connection has over 4,200 retweets, 33,000 likes, and 2 million views in two days.
The WNBA released the video of the layup, but the conversation between Reese and Clark wasn’t aired on live television. Fans believe this happened because ESPN would benefit from keeping the narrative of Clark and Reese having a rivalry.
Indiana and Chicago have played each other three times this season, with the Fever holding a 2-1 regular-season series edge. They’ve attracted millions of viewers for their matchups, so the theory from WNBA fans could be backed with facts
