Caitlin Clark – Angel Reese ‘rivalry’ given new twist by an NBA legend: When I played, we had one paper
Clark and Reese are both enjoying well-earned vacations
Lapresse
The Summer Olympic Games are in full swing — and the United States women’s basketball team, a collection of the best players the country has to offer, won their first game against Japan on Monday night. However, debate continues to rage as to whether the WNBA‘s star rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese should have been included on the plane to Paris — with some acknowledgement that perhaps Clark was performing well enough to merit selection.
Clark and Reese continue to be compared to one another during their debut seasons, with takes still flying about their “rivalry” that dates back to their showdown in the 2023 NCAA championship game. Though both players have left college behind, intense meetings between Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Chicago Sky only heightened speculation over the enmity between the two. But one former NBA star — who boasts strong links to Indiana — believes there is another reason as to why Clark and Reese have engendered such strong reactions, both for and against.
Reggie Miller sounds off on the impact of social media
“The problem is with Caitlin and Angel and I’d say the last 15 years is social media,” Miller said. “Cheryl and Lynette Woodard….they never had to face social media the way Clark and Angel Reese and Cam Brink (have had to). Now everyone has their own opinion and their own critique, everyone’s home in their basement and watching games and commenting in real time. You know, in Indiana when I played, we had one paper and one beat writer.”

But as the saying goes, pressure makes diamonds, and Clark and Reese are two of the WNBA’s gems. Both rookies were selected to the All-Star Game in Phoenix earlier this month, and they appear ticketed for superstardom. Reese is the WNBA’s leader in offensive rebounds per game and ranks second in total rebounds per night; Clark is the league leader in assists per game, and her dime to Reese during the All-Star Game at Footprint Center immediately went viral.

While Reese is very active on social media and seems to revel in the discourse, Clark has taken a markedly different approach to posting online that Miller admires.
“Everyone has an opinion, and sometimes you (have to) just stop the noise, cut off the devices, and everything,” Miller said. “I hear about Caitlin, she does that, which is great. … She’s not actively on it and she doesn’t let a lot of that affect her.”
Why is Angel Reese so funny? In each one of these videos she is sending me!
Also, leave this girl alone when she’s not doing basketball things!

A new report details the whopping amount of money Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spend daily as a couple.
Travis Kelce and the Grammy Award-winning singer are closing in on the first anniversary of their relationship. Their romance was essentially confirmed to the public last September when Taylor Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 3 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
The relationship between the future Pro Football Hall of Famer and the legendary singer has drawn intense media coverage. The NFL saw noticeable increases in viewership for the 2023 Chiefs games that Swift attended.
So, how much does this popular power couple spend per day? Let’s just say the amount is jaw-dropping, even for two very wealthy celebrities.
A source told Life & Style Magazine that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift easily spend $100,000 a day when they’re together. The source cited bodyguards, private jets, luxurious hotel rooms and plenty more that add up to the six-figure expenses:
“Taylor and Travis have become international jetsetters and their extravagant spending is off the charts. The multiple bodyguards, the private jets, the deluxe hotel rooms, plus the romantic gestures they’re both known for probably makes them the most excessively spending couple in the world. It’s pretty extreme.”
