Angel Reese is officially tired of living on the losing side of the script. She made that clear when she told the Chicago Tribune, “I’m not settling for the same s−−− we did this year. We have to get good players. We have to get great players.

And as you’d guess, the reaction was immediate.

Caitlin Clark and Michael Jordan have had one too many parallels not to drop comparisons. The Nike signature shoe deals. Their impact on league viewership. Dominant rookie seasons that brought their teams into the spotlight. Not to forget, former Iowa HC Lisa Bluder also revealed that Clark, much like the NBA legend, needed to be taught to trust her teammates. The paths have been eerily similar for Fever faithful not to seek some hope in history.
