Caitlin Clark may not think she has a rivalry with Angel Reese, but just about everyone disagrees.
Last Friday, two nights before Reese and Clark were set to match up for the third time in their WNBA careers, Clark poured cold water on their "rivalry," saying the only people who think there is one is "all of you."
Sunday marked the fourth time the two have shared the floor in the last three months, beginning with the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament. The two WNBA rookies stole national headlines last year after Reese taunted Clark with a "you can't see me" celebration and pointed at her ring finger in the closing seconds of LSU's title victory over Iowa.

Since then, whether it's a real rivalry or not, the two have been must-watch, and Sunday was no different.
The Sky's 88-87 win averaged 2.3 million viewers on ESPN, making it the most-watched WNBA game since 2001.
Clark continues to break records both in attendance and on television. Aside from being the star of the three most-viewed women's college basketball games ever from this past March Madness tournament, her WNBA debut had been the most-watched league game since 2001, up until the Sky and Fever met back on June 16. Now, there's a new game on top.
The Sky climbed back from a 15-point deficit against the Fever for a thrilling finish on Sunday evening.
Reese put together her eighth consecutive double-double and led the charge for the Sky to get back into the game. Reese
