Did Angel Reese Take Dig at Caitlin Clark Amid WNBA Rookie of the Year Race?

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark recorded the first triple-double by a WNBA rookie during Saturday’s win over the New York Liberty.

Clark finished the game with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds in 38 minutes played.

Considering the historic performance Clark produced, it’s easy to forget fellow rookie Angel Reese went off Friday night during the Chicago Sky’s win over the Seattle Storm.

“Chi Barbie” scored a career-high 27 points to go along with 10 rebounds in the 88-84 win. It was her 12th consecutive double-double, which also set a WNBA record.

Reese wants to remind fans that she, too, is a WNBA record-breaker.

Reese reposted an X post from the Chicago Sky in the wake of Clark’s performance that wrote, “Record setter. THE front runner.”

Reese and the Sky asserting that she’s “THE front runner” is a clear dig at Clark. The two are considered neck and neck for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year honor.

There’s still plenty of time for either rookie to set herself apart from the other in this thrilling Rookie of the Year race.

We look forward to seeing what Reese will do against the Storm on Sunday.

Tyson Fury’s Epic Meltdown: ‘FKING TOSSER!’ – IBF Rankings and Joshua-Usyk Rematch Slammed!

Tyson Fury, the reigning heavyweight champion, recently voiced his frustrations regarding the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the current state of boxing during an interview in London. Known for his candidness, Fury did not hold back in expressing his displeasure over the IBF’s ranking decisions and what he perceives as bias against him. In a lively exchange with journalist Charlie Parsons, Fury reflected on his preparation for his upcoming fight, emphasizing his dedication to the sport and his ongoing passion for boxing. He mentioned that if others were compensated as handsomely as he is, they too would find inspiration in the sport. However, Fury’s focus quickly turned to the IBF, which he criticized for their questionable rankings, particularly their decision to place him outside the top 15 after he had just paid a substantial fee to compete for their title. Fury’s frustration was palpable as he referred to the IBF’s belt as “a piece of sh*t” and expressed his disdain for the organization, stating he would “piss on it” when he got home. He took aim at Daryl Peoples, a judge he believes is not fit to officiate significant bouts, suggesting that the judging system in boxing is flawed, particularly when it comes to his fights. Despite his strong feelings regarding the IBF, he acknowledged that he had no loss of faith in the judges, who he deemed competent. As he prepares for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury indicated that he plans to approach the fight with a renewed focus, aiming to avoid complacency. He admitted that in their previous encounter, he may have underestimated Usyk’s abilities, engaging in what he called “clowning around” during the match. Fury’s goal for the upcoming bout is to assert himself with more concentration and less showboating. The conversation also touched upon the future of heavyweight boxing, including the potential for a rematch between Anthony Joshua and Usyk. Fury, who has previously clashed with Joshua, expressed skepticism about Joshua’s chances of winning should a rematch take place. He suggested that if Joshua continues to face defeats, the prospect of their fight, which once promised to be a blockbuster event, may not hold the same allure. Fury concluded the interview by discussing his holiday plans, humorously noting that he would indulge in festive feasting and then work to shed the extra weight come January. The heavyweight champion remains optimistic about his future in boxing, hinting at the possibility of a trilogy fight with Usyk. As Fury gears up for his next challenge, his passion for the sport and his determination to reclaim his status remain evident, ensuring that fans will be eagerly awaiting the December 21st showdown.
