It doesn’t take much to get WNBA fans buzzing especially when Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are involved. Their college rivalry is already the stuff of legend, and now, as pros in the WNBA, it’s only gaining momentum with every Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever matchup. So when a new video of Angel Reese hit social media, showing her training hard and taking three-point shots, fans immediately took notice. But what really got people talking?
Now, to be fair, it’s clear Angel is putting in serious work. The video starts with her going through drills and working up a sweat. Then comes the three point section. She makes one, then another and just as it feels like a rhythm is coming, boom: video over. Was it a stylistic choice? Or did someone decide to end the reel right before a miss? Either way, it didn’t take long for fans to draw the comparison to Caitlin Clark, who built her name and her highlight reels draining threes from deep.

And even though they’re still early in their professional careers, both Reese and Clark already carry serious weight in the league. Reese’s rookie season was cut short by a wrist injury, while Clark went on to break multiple rookie records before the Fever were knocked out by the Connecticut Sun in the playoffs.
There’s something captivating about their contrast. Clark, with her long-range shooting and calm, calculated demeanor. Reese, known for her power, presence in the paint, and unapologetic energy. They represent different styles, different voices and that’s exactly what makes their interactions, direct or subtle, so magnetic.
A simple clip that ends abruptly has fans wondering why she didn’t wait for a stronger training session to post something more polished, something that could show she’s closing the gap with Clark.
As the WNBA gears up for a new season with higher expectations and more eyes than ever, players like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark aren’t just hoopers they’re storylines. The Indiana Fever wrapped up last season with a 20-20 record, landing the sixth seed and marking their first playoff appearance since 2016, while the Chicago Sky struggled to a 13-27 finish and missed the postseason.
Now, with both stars heading into their second year and new talent from the WNBA Draft joining their teams, fans are wondering: can Caitlin Clark take the Fever deeper into the playoffs, and can Angel Reese help lift the Sky to the best season in franchise history? The pressure is on, and every game, every post, and yes even every short training video adds fuel to a rivalry the league can’t stop talking about.
