Basketball star Angel Reese has praised WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu as standout three-point shooters in the league.
In October, Ionescu secured her first championship title at 27 with the New York Liberty, defeating the Minnesota Lynx. Meanwhile, Reese, alongside her peer Clark, made an instant impact on professional basketball following impressive college stints.
The two had previously clashed in the 2024 NCAA championship, where Reese’s LSU triumphed over Clark’s Iowa, where she set records for scoring and assists.
During a conversation with comedian Funny Marco on Reese’s podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’, she expressed admiration for both Clark and Ionescu, alongside Marco’s recommended picks of Breanna Stewart and Ionescu.
Marco inquired about Reese’s picks for top shooters, to which she initially replied: “Between Caitlin, Diana Taurasi..” She then agreed with the other suggestions of Breanna Stewart and Ionescu.
Stewart, a triple-champion, experienced her worst three-point shooting season, netting only 29.5 percent.
Clark previously praised Reese’s skills earlier this year, stating: “The thing that really stands out is the offensive rebounding. She did the exact same thing to us when we were in college too.

“She’s just such a great offensive rebounder. She’s always just had a knack for that. It’s not always something you can teach. I think she just has a really good eye for the ball off the rim and can go get it.”
Chicago Sky struggled this season with a disappointing 13-27 record, despite Reese’s efforts, while Clark led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016.
