Former NFL Star Weighs in With Strong Take on Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese Debate

The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky are going head-to-head on Saturday afternoon. What does that mean? Fans are getting to watch the latest installment of the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry.

Since back in college, the two have been competing against each other and have formed one of the most fun rivalries that women's basketball has ever seen. They have been compared to each other over the last few years.

While most agree that Clark is the better player, there are diehard Reese fans who continue the debate.

During the game to open the regular season on Saturday, former NFL star LeSean McCoy spoke out on social media and weighed in with his take on the debate between the two players. He doesn't think it's a very close debate either.

"MAN for yall who tried to compare Angel Reese to Caitlyn Curry Clark should knock it off it wasn’t close in college or Pro’s… watching this game they on two different planets," McCoy wrote.

McCoy wasn't at his best when it came to the writing side of his post, misspelling Clark's name in the process, but his opinion was clear. Clark is the better player.

Clark and the Fever have been dominant throughout the course of the season opener. At the time of this writing, Clark has completely outplayed Reese.

Late in the game, Clark had scored 20 points to go along with 10 assists, nine rebounds, four blocks, and two steals. Reese had produced 12 points, 17 rebounds, an assist, and five turnovers.

This will be a debate that continues raging on for years to come. However, McCoy's opinion has been made up and many agree with him.
