Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese received one vote for 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. Averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds, the No. 7 overall pick put together a strong first professional campaign.
Reese finished a distant second in Rookie of the Year voting to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, who received 66 of the 67 possible votes. The No. 1 overall pick averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists en route to Indiana’s first playoff appearance since 2016.
While Clark and Reese play different positions and have very different games, they have been linked since the 2023 NCAA National Championship Game.

As LSU was completing its victory over Iowa, Reese taunted Clark with the “you can’t see me” gesture. The moment ignited weeks of national coverage. Now, another viral moment from that day has been recirculating on social media.
In response to a post that claimed Reese has never said anything negative about another player, one fan on X posted an Instagram live clip from after the 2023 National Championship Game.
“Caitlin Clark, I’m not the one to disrespect,” Reese said in the clip. “I disrespect around here. I’m talking.”
This clip is circulating on X with over 140,000 views, and it has Reese again facing backlash for the comments she made more than two years ago.
“I let it rock at the time cause they won but she was so corny for this,” said one fan.
“The crazy part is she inserted herself into someone else business then tried to backtrack,” a fan added.
“lol ‘didn’t do this…’ like caitlin didn’t drop 30,” said another. “not her fault she wasn’t on a stacked team like angel to carry her to a title.”
“i was fine with her did it in court when they still playing but did it on ig livestream unprovoked??? she just hate cc and cc didn’t even do that ‘you can’t see me’ hand sign to her in the first place,” a fan pointed out.
“It’s always on social media for her,” one added.
