You can pinpoint the exact moment their basketball telepathy activates.
In the latest WNBA All-Star Game, Caitlin Clark’s assist to Angel Reese wasn’t just an assist—it was a full-on basketball TED Talk. These two rookies are as in sync as synchronized swimmers, and this new angle of their play is the mic drop moment we all needed.
Clark and Reese: The Dynamic Duo of the WNBA
Imagine having the superpower to see a play unfold before it even starts. That’s Caitlin Clark. With a single verbal cue, she transformed Angel Reese into the Flash, zooming into the exact spot needed. Clark pulled defenders around the court like they were on puppet strings, and Reese did the rest, hustling harder than a kid chasing the ice cream truck.
Mastermind Clark
While Sabrina Ionescu’s shot was still hanging on the rim, Clark was already orchestrating the next move. “Go, go, go!” she yelled, leaving Ionescu in the dust. Clark saw the play develop in her mind nine seconds before anyone else had a clue. It’s like she’s playing 5D chess while everyone else is stuck on checkers.
Reese’s Brilliant Backup
Not to be outdone, Angel Reese displayed some high-IQ hooping herself. She tapped her head to signal Clark about setting a rub screen, ensuring Ionescu couldn’t catch up. As Clark drew in help defense from Brittney Griner, Reese was left wide open for the easiest layup of her life. It’s like Clark had planned it all in some secret basketball bunker weeks in advance.
Hidden Gems of the WNBA Rookies
Footage like this, plus Clark’s unseen bucket on Sabrina, shatters the tired media narratives and TV numbers. These rookies can ball, and Team USA learned this the hard way.
The Next Big Play
Though we won’t see Clark and Reese on a WNBA court for another month due to the 2024 Paris Olympics, rest assured that the No. 1 draft pick is probably cooking up her next mind-bending assist right now. Clark’s probably got blueprints and flowcharts laid out, plotting her next move. Stay tuned, because this basketball chess master is just getting started.
