The 2024 WNBA season has been one of the most exciting years in the history of the league, thanks in large part to the arrival of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, two rookies who have captured the association by storm. Clark and Reese ooze charisma, and they back it up as well with some solid play on the court, with both of them making the All-Star Game despite being in just their maiden
Clark and Reese’s on-court rivalry has been blossoming dating back to their days in college. As one would recall, Reese got the upper hand over Clark in the 2023 National Championship game, with LSU taking a convincing win over Iowa. To this day, this rivalry remains alive and well. In fact, they are each other’s main competition yet again, this time for the honor of being called the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year.
While opinion regarding who deserves to win the award appears to be split, WNBA legend Sue Bird, believes that it is Caitlin Clark who has her vote over Angel Reese. Bird, however, clarified that doing midseason awards thought exercises isn’t her cup of tea, and that things can still change.
Currently, first of all, I hate doing midseason awards, right. Honestly, I’ve felt this way about MVP forever. People would say someone was MVP in the first two weeks and then in a weird way, it kept them in that conversation no matter what they did. So I’ve never been [a fan of mid-season awards], but currently Caitlin Clark,” Bird said in an appearance on Good Game with Sarah Spain.
