BREAKING: Angel Reese Declares Himself the Best in the WNBA — And What Happens Immediately After Fans Call It Karma…
In a moment that stunned both fans and analysts alike, WNBA star Angel Reese confidently declared herself “the best in the league” during a post-game interview late Tuesday night. But what happened next sent shockwaves through the basketball world — and lit up social media like wildfire.
Standing tall after a gritty win, Reese didn’t hold back. “I am the face of the WNBA. I’m the best — and I prove it every time I step on that court,” she said, eyes blazing with confidence. But before the mic had even cooled off, fans were already stirring online, many of them bringing up a name that’s become synonymous with this season’s rookie revolution: Caitlin Clark.
Just hours later, in a twist of poetic timing that many are calling “instant karma”, Reese suffered a bruising fall early in the next game — just three minutes into the first quarter. While initial reports suggest it’s not a serious injury, the timing couldn’t have been more dramatic. Some fans were quick to say what others were only thinking: “That’s karma.”
Twitter/X exploded with reactions.
“Angel Reese calling herself the best just to go down minutes later? You can’t write this stuff,” one fan tweeted.
“She forgot Caitlin Clark is still breathing,” said another.
“Clark just smiles and drops 30. Let the basketball do the talking,” another wrote.
Indeed, while Reese was sidelined, Caitlin Clark was putting on a show of her own. In the same night, the Indiana Fever’s rookie sensation dropped 32 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds, leading her team to a stunning comeback win. It was her third consecutive 30+ point game, further cementing her as a frontrunner for Rookie of the Year — and maybe more.
The Clark vs. Reese rivalry — once forged in college under the scorching spotlight of March Madness — has now officially gone prime time in the WNBA. But while Reese’s bold words made headlines, it’s Clark’s silent dominance that continues to speak volumes.
Reese has since taken to Instagram, posting a cryptic message:
“They love to watch you fall… just don’t stay down.”
Is this the beginning of a redemption arc? Or the start of a power shift in the WNBA spotlight?
One thing is clear:
Caitlin Clark isn’t saying much — but she’s doing everything.
And for Angel Reese, the pressure has never been hotter.
