Angel Reese has a respectful gesture for Tina Charles that she never had for Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese paid a great amount of respect to the Atlanta Dream’s Tina Charles when they faced the Chicago Sky, leaving some fans wondering why she never extended that courtesy to the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark…

The Dream managed to edge out the Sky in an 89-80 win after managing to survive a late rally from Reese’s side that saw them close to within three points in the final quarter after initially trailing by 14.

That revival was spearheaded by the ex-LSU Tigers’ star, who scored 13 points and 13 rebounds with five steals whilst Charles went for 22 points and seven rebounds on the opposing side of the court.

At the end of the game, the 35-year-old and the 22-year-old overall sixth pick in the draft had an emotional moment as they hugged it out and exchanged fond words, seemingly to compliment each other on their healthy competition.

“Tina Charles and Angel Reese hugging at the end of the game,” one user posted on X.com, formerly Twitter. “Now this is good sportsmanship. Will the national media show this narrative?”rative?”

Reese herself responded online with a simple, “Learning from the best.” She will now begin preparing to face the Connecticut Sun on July 12 at the Wintrust Arena as part of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup series.

Why do Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark not get along?

The fond exchange left fans wondering why Reese couldn’t have the same amount of compassion for Clark. The Sky‘s star player was seen spotted celebrating Chennedy Carter’s flagrant foul on the Fever shooter recently, and it came after a bunch of cheap shots.

Reese recently appeared to suggest she is as big of a draw as Clark in the WNBA, although this is evidently not true based on matchday attendances and in college basketball, she was even seen gloating to Clark‘s face during the NCAA national championship game in 2023.

That’s where their rivalry begins as the two emerged as the best talents in college at the time and faced off in March Madness in consecutive years, winning one game apiece. Of course, the Tigers beat the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023 so Reese had the last laugh.

It could be part of Reese‘s mentality that she has to have a rival to drive herself to do better, the same way Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan would create rivals for that purpose.

Everyone’s Saying The Same Thing About Darren Waller After His Ex-Wife Kelsey Plum Posed In Only Her Underwear And High Heels

Since Darren Waller cheated on his wife Kelsey Plum following her gorgeous Skims photo shoot, he is currently the target of vicious online trolling. Less than a year after getting married, the couple filed for divorce last month.

Just months after the firm was criticized for not including female athletes in the previous campaign, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand SKIMS has partnered with the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), with basketball players Candace Parker, Cameron Brink, and Kelsey Plum stripping down to their underwear for a seductive new commercial.

Just in time for the start of the season, SKIMS declared on Monday morning that it has joined the Women’s National Basketball Association as its “official underwear partner.”

To celebrate the launch of the collaboration, a slew of basketball players showed off their toned physiques by posing in pieces from the clothing company’s Fits Everybody underwear collection.

Las Vegas Aces superstar Kelsey Plum made the most noise with her pictures, and in doing so, Darren Waller was brought up.
