Kevin Corke: Players Like Angel Reese Are Killing the WNBA for Non-Fans

‘Two great players’

EXCERPT:

CORKE: "They've taken it too far. A couple of things. First of all, if you're old enough to remember the old Larry Johnson-Larry Bird rivalry, this could be great for the sport. You sort of have two good good teams, two great players. But I think Reese really has enmity toward this person and I don’t understand why, I think Caitlin Clark has been great for the sport. And if they keep this up, Joey, here is what is going to happen. Players like Reese don’t understand you are killing the game for non-fans. I’m talking about people just, 'Oh, basketball! Caitlin Clark, I recognize her. Angel Reese, I recognize her.' Like, you keep taking shots, nobody's gonna want to watch that product. And that's the real danger."
