Angel Reese’s latest interaction with a fan has sparked a conversation online-and it all started with a seemingly simple autograph request. During the recent episode of her podcast *Unapologetically Angel*, Reese shared how a fan approached her for a signature but left her stunned with a comment afterward. The fan compared her to fellow rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, mocking Reese for not winning the Rookie of the Year award.

What stood out about the encounter was the underlying tone in the fan’s remark, subtly hinting at deeper issues. Reese has been constantly compared to Clark, and this moment felt like another jab-not just at her skills, but perhaps at something more.
“That’s why you not rookie of the year. And that white girl is better than you.”
In the latest episode of the podcast with rapper GloRilla, Reese recounted the story about her interaction with the fan.
The comparison between the two rookies has been a central theme in the media all season, highlighting not only their on-court rivalry but also the societal pressure placed on two women of different racial backgrounds.
Reese played off the comment with poise, defending her stellar rookie season. Despite finishing second to Clark, she averaged 13.6 points and led the league with 13.1 rebounds per game, proving her worth as a rising star. Yet, the frequent comparisons-some lighthearted, others tinged with bias-underscore the different lenses through which the two are viewed.
As Reese continues to navigate this dynamic, she keeps the door open for collaboration with Clark, hinting that their intertwined journeys may hold unexpected surprises for the future of women’s basketball.
