Caitlyn Clark and Angel Angel Reese, right? They're going back and forth. And J Hill says by the time Angel Reese is done, she's gonna be the Michael Jordan of WNBA.
Angel Reese. She said Angel Ree by the time she retires. Can you pull up this quote?
She said by the time she retires, she will be the MJ of Go to J Hill. Type in J Hill. Yeah.
She says by the time she retires, J Hill has made a bold prediction that Angel Re will become the MJ. Welcome back to the Clark update. The WNBA is heating up and this time all eyes are on Angel Ree after a crucial game-winning layup went wrong.
Steven A. Smith has sparked a major reaction with his comments and fans are now debating whether Ree deserves the criticism. Was it a costly mistake or is the backlash going too far?
Stay with me until the end as we break down the reaction, the controversy, and everything happening around this explosive WNBA story. Let's get right into it. Imagine entering a building where 20,000 people are only interested in seeing you fail.
Tension permeates the air. Before you even set foot on the hardwood, the sound of the alcohol reverberates off the concrete walls and the other team is staring at you as if you were the antagonist in their film. Welcome to the opening game of the eagerly awaited second season where the most venomous rivalry in WNBA history has just reached a breaking point.
Tonight, Caitlyn Clark didn't simply show up for a basketball game. She entered an ambush. The crowd was incredibly boisterous, yelling derogatory remarks.
Displaying offensive signs and supporting their team star player, Angel Ree. However, attempting to frighten a generational genius has a fatal drawback. Under pressure, some athletes shrivel.
However, Caitlyn Clark turns it into a weapon. The 20,000 yelling fans were painfully silent by the time the last beep went off. A historical massacre has just taken place.
It wasn't simply Caitlyn Clark who defeated Angel Ree. On the court, she physically and mentally destroyed her, dropping a huge career-high triple double that utterly destroyed the atmosphere in the arena. The most absurd aspect of this whole humiliation is that was foreseen by none other than Steven A.
Smith, who went on national television and completely demolished Angel Reed for making one of the most rude and deluded remarks in sports history.

We must go back to the media circus that took place just 48 hours prior to Tip Off in order to comprehend why this beatdown was so immensely enjoyable.
Angel Ree has always made a lot of noise. Drma, trash talk, and viral events are what she feeds on. However, she went too far with the second season.
You just don't breach the boundary of basketball royalty that she did. If you appreciate this content, consider giving this video a like and subscribing to the channel. Believe it or not, [music] more than 90% of viewers haven't subscribed yet.

Thank you so much for your support. [music] Now, back to the video. Look at that pause.
It sound like she drunk a gallon of water in between that pause. It happens like we know any other time like Angel will make the shot. I mean, she knows she'll make the shot, but in that moment, you just got to encourage your teammates.
Like, no one see person lost us the game. It's it's a team effort. And she's frustrated.
She trying to be nice. We know she'll make the shot. No, you don't know.
The last four games now, Angel Reese is shooting less than 25% on layups. You don't know she'll make it. And you know who else don't know?
This man right here, Carl Semesco, is not happy with Angel Reese. The girl stunk it up. Uh, great crowd tonight.
disappointing uh finish to the game. Um, you know, kind of look at Yo, these pauses, these pauses they're taking in between are insane. Yeah.
Uh, great crowd tonight. Disappointing uh finish to the game. Um, you know, kind of a tough fourth quarter for us and then, you know, we had [music] a chance to win it at regulation and it just didn't go down.
Angel Reese looked straight into the cameras at a pregame press conference and honestly likened her brand effect and competitive passion to Michael Jordan. You heard properly. She subtly implied that she was the real face of the league, not Caitlyn Clark, by comparing her skill to that of the best basketball player in history.
The internet blew up, but no one responded quite as angrily as Steven A. Smith of ESPN. Steven A performed a verbal execution on live television while staring directly at the camera.
He methodically destroyed her reasoning piece by piece. Michael Jordan is not you. You are not even Caitlyn Clark, shouted Steven A.
over the TV. You're conflating generational brilliance with popularity. He made the point that Caitlyn Clark is focused on leaving a legacy of pure unadulterated skill.
Whereas Angel Re is busy creating a brand on scandal. Steven A. Smith forewarned Angel Ree that she would face severe humiliation if she wrote checks with her lips that her game was unable to cash.
Angel Reese's Michael Jordan fantasy collapsed into a harsh, humiliating reality as the lights came on and the ball was tipped, proving that friend Steven A. Smith was correct. The first quarter commenced and the audience was in an incredible frenzy.
The audience erupted into a chorus of booze every time Caitlyn Clark touched the ball, making the television cameras vibrate. They wanted Caitlyn to shatter. They desired for Angel to rule.
However, basketball doesn't give a damn about what the fans want. The only thing that matters to the basketball gods is who puts in the effort. That's freaking awesome.
That is awesome. Kaylin Clark, the only player in WNBA history to average 26 and nine assist over a 10ame span. Ever.
Ever in the history of ever. Let's get to the game. It went to overtime 9591.
Michaela Timson 20 points on nine of 13. Seven rebounds, one block shot. Caitlin Clark 26 on nine of 20.
Nine assists, three boards. Kelsey Mitchell, she extended the streak. Come hell or high water.
20 points on nine of 22. One rebound, one assist, one steel. You wonder why I come down on Kelsey Mitchell for MVP.
I'm sorry, but this rebounding and assist situation drives me crazy. So, let's go to Angel Reese clocking Caitlyn Clark right in the throat hole with just 35. Right here, you're going to watch.
There she gets her in the neck and there she gets her in the throat. Yeah. H.
What are we doing? Uhuh. Neck, throat.
Wow. Wow. Yeah.
Protected species. Shout out House of Low Lights. Speaking of House of Low Lights, good chance I've got an Angel Ree video coming in the morning.
In an attempt to validate the Michael Jordan analogies, Angel Ree stepped out. She insisted on having the ball in the post. She attempted to intimidate her way to the edge.
She completely forgot how to play basic basketball since she was so focused on finishing the highlight reel. Angel re missed three straight wide openen layups in only 6 minutes. It was really difficult to watch.
Clark laughing at Angelice, bro. After the injuries miss layup to win by a buzzer beater, the rivalry is definitely still alive, bro. And I'm here to tell you, this is the face of defeat.
I'm telling you right now, Angelice is defeated. And one thing I always tell you guys, y'all should know this. The internet will give it and the internet will damn show take it away.
Y'all ever heard her saying, "At this moment, you knew you messed up. " This is the look Angel Reese had on her face. at this exact moment.
She knew she's going to be the laughing stock of the basketball world for the next 48 hours. That's exactly what happened. And it was so bad Angel did not speak to reporters after the damn game.
Please take me through that fourth and overtime. They we out scored 3119. What changed in that at the end of the game?
Can you repeat that? At the end of the game, they outscored you 3119 in the fourth in overtime. What was the difference in the game believe at that point?
Uh, I feel like we fought hard. I mean, uh, I don't know. I just feel like we just we just came up short tonight.
Um, this question is for either of you all. When you face a team like this, obviously four times, um, you could potentially see them again in the playoffs. Uh, I guess what would you say you can kind of take away from from a lo from a loss like this?
Uh, that we're right there. And I know tonight didn't go the way that we wanted to, but we had some plays down and we show we showed some fight. And I think it's although we didn't get the win, I think there's um yeah, some promise that we know that we can beat a team like that um uh if we have a full team together, but even with the team we had tonight.
What transpired next should be included in the Basketball Hall of Fame, my friend. Caitlyn Clark totally rebuilt the Matrix in addition to taking control of the game. Caitlyn was working in the fourth dimension while Angel was missing layups.
She hushed the front row with a 35- ft logo to begin the assault. She then began to thread passes that defied human geometry through the defense. The statistitians were frantically trying to keep up with the speed at which she was accumulating assists and hitting her teammates flawlessly in stride.
However, Caitlyn was doing more than just passing and scoring. The nasty labor was being done by her. She was demonstrating to Angel Ree what true grit and drive looked like by flying into the paint and taking rebounds straight out of the hands of larger players.
The unthinkable became a reality by the middle of the third quarter. On the screen, the image flashed. Caitlyn Clark had achieved a spectacular triple double that was a record for her career.
You know, passing it, just letting them get matched up and stay matched up. I think we saw it uh a lot more than we would have otherwise. Hi coach, I'm Annabelle Ryder with Decarish.
Um, just curious, you already mentioned uh kind of refreshing on how you guys respond to zone defense, but are there any other next steps that you guys are really highlighting in moving forward? Well, I mean, we're there's a lot of positives today that I thought to to Angel Ryan and Alicia were kind of there to console. What was your message to to Angel after she missed that shot?
Yeah. What was your message to Angel after she smoked the layup and smoked the game? [laughter] We just had to move on to the next play.
I mean, we did what we're I mean, we didn't run the there was supposed to be one screen in there and we kind of forgot the screen. Um, but then Ry, you know, took the shot and [music] we told those two to, you know, really crash the boards and give us a second chance. Uh, they both did exactly what we asked for them.
Uh, and then we got two looks, you know, right at the end of the game that, uh, you know, could have won it for us, but, you know, they rolled out just He's pissed. We got two looks right at the end of the game, two layups, and they just rolled out. He's pissed.
Kind of a bad break. And one quick followup, how much of a difference not having Jordan Canada in today's game kind of potentially may maybe have impacted the outcome of this game? Yeah, I mean it happens.
You have to go with what you have and I think the players that we uh that played today gave us a great chance to win. [music] I mean, we're literally one possession, you know, from winning the game uh against a very good team who's been playing really well. But, you know, JC is a fantastic point guard and obviously, you know, particularly against the zone, she's somebody that we count on for penetrating to the middle and then passing it out uh to our shooters or dumping it down behind.
So, uh and then just she makes such a difference in our transition game and and gives us an extra really good defender out there. So, we miss her, but you know, she couldn't go today. So the people that went I thought did well enough to win.
She was competitive. Um her performance be able to to contribute that way when uh you're having to guard one of the best players in the in the league for as much time as she did. I mean I thought she was fantastic.
Hi coach Mia Carson here with AJC. Um, obviously I know you guys are probably having a working game at a time mindset, but what are some key things from this game that you're planning on telling the team or hoping that they talk amongst each other to take to the next game? Well, I think it it shows that, you know, we have a really good team.
I mean, uh, Indiana's excellent and despite being short-handed, we were right there. Uh, that's why it hurt so much is cuz like we were right there. You was right there.
But Angel Reese got you. Let's discuss the precise minute the arena passed away. It was the end of the fourth quarter.
The blowout was already in place. After catching the ball on the wing and making a deadly hesitation crossover that sent her opponent reeling. Caitlyn took a stride back and blasted a cold-blooded three-pointer in Angel Reese's face.
Caitlyn did not scream as the ball broke through the net. She didn't show off. She simply pivoted and surveyed the throng.
There was an utterly deafening hush. 20,000 people who had been yelling, jeering, and insulting for the last 2 hours were immediately muted. In the arena, you could actually hear a pin drop.
The ultimate mute button had been pressed by Caitlyn Clark. Instead of using foul language, she silenced them with the best single game performance of her fledgling career. She was cautioned by Steven A.
Smith. The fans ought to have known better. You don't poke the bear and you don't compare yourself to Michael Jordan until you can provide evidence.
While Caitlyn Clark's career-high triple double will go down in history, Angel Reese's missed layups and complete breakdown will always be on the blooper reel. The rivalry is no longer even a rivalry. It's a masterclass in dominance.
