Fans Convinced Angel Reese Used Paige Bueckers’ Title Win to Troll Caitlin Clark
Chicago Sky star forward Angel Reese has had quite a lot to say during the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments. The LSU alum is just two years removed from winning her own national championship, and during Sunday’s national title game between No. 1-seeded South Carolina and No. 2-seeded UConn, Reese took the opportunity to applaud her recruiting class after its fourth member, Paige Bueckers, won her own title. “2020 class has done so many special things for the game. #proud,” Reese wrote on X. And while some fans believe Reese was simply congratulating Bueckers, the No. 1 overall recruit in that 2020 class, on becoming the fourth 2020 recruit to win a championship, joining Reese, the No. 2 recruit, Cameron Brink, the No. 3 recruit, and Kamilla Cardoso, the No. 5 recruit, others saw it differently. Though Reese didn’t mention Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark by name, some fans seemed convinced her tweet was an indirect troll job of the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, who played in back-to-back national championship games but never won a title. Reese infamously trolled Clark during their clash in the 2023 title game, taunting her by pointing to her ring finger to remind her that though she may have been the best player in the country, she still didn’t have a championship to her name.
“& the top 5 all have rings except….,” one fan wrote. “Somebody always lives to attach themself to Caitlin Clark – can she ever post something that doesn’t directly or indirectly reference Clark?” another fan quipped. “Only nice thing Angel Reese has ever said about Caitlin Clark,” one user remarked. “Champ. Champ. Champ. Rattles off rim.

Champ,” another user replied, alluding to Bueckers, Reese, Brink, Clark, and Cardoso. The No. 4 overall recruit in the 2020 class, Clark was one of the more decorated women’s college basketball players of all time. She ended her career as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, men’s or women’s, and the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA Tournament. Clark’s Iowa team lost to Reese and LSU in the 2023 national championship game, and to the undefeated No. 1-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks (38-0) in the 2024 title game.
Angel Reese Turns Heads With Outfit on Sunday
Angel Reese continues to shine off the court as effortlessly as she does on it. The Chicago Sky forward made waves on Sunday-not for a highlight-reel play, but for her latest fashion statement that had fans doing double takes. Reese posted a series of photos on social media showcasing a bold, high-fashion look that’s quickly become the talk of WNBA fans.
Wearing an oversized outfit with front pockets, Reese brought an effortlessly cool energy to the moment. She paired the relaxed ensemble with a brown, round leather handbag that added just the right touch of sophistication. But the real scene-stealer? The sculptural knee-high sandals were an eye-catching choice that gave the outfit its bold, elevated finish. The 2023 NCAA champion completed the look with soft, nude-toned makeup and a glowing complexion, creating a polished yet natural vibe.
