Angel Reese wants her credit, too.

The Chicago Sky rookie says people are paying attention to the WNBA not just because of Caitlin Clark — but because of her — and other players — as well.

“Look where women’s basketball is,” Reese said. “People are talking about women’s basketball that you never would think would be talking about women’s basketball. People are pulling up to games. We got celebrities coming to games, sold out arenas.

“…I know I’ll go down in history, I’ll look back in 20 years and be like yea, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person. It’s because of me, too. I want y’all to realize that.”

She added: “A lot of us have done so much for this game…there are so many great players in this league that have deserved this for a really, really long time, and luckily, it’s coming now.

Reese’s latest comments come amid a huge wave of interest, attendance and discussion surrounding the WNBA in Clark and Reese’s rookie season.

Monica McNutt called out Stephen A. Smith Monday on ESPN after he claimed that nobody talked about women’s sports more than “First Take.”

“Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform, you could have been doing this three years ago if you wanted to,” McNutt said.

The comment was part of a larger discussion involving Clark’s impact on — and role in — the WNBA.

In their five home games this season Clark and the Fever have drawn 82,857 fans, an average of more than 16,571. Indiana’s attendance figure for all of last season’s 20 home games was 81,336 — so the Fever already have surpassed their attendance from last year in only five games. Gainbridge Fieldhouse has a capacity of about 18,000.

By contrast, the Sky have drawn 24,743 in three home games — an average of 8,247. The Sky play at Wintrust Arena, which has a capacity of 10,000.

Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated tweeted that of the seven non-Clark games this past weekend, only one game exceeded 10,000 fans, whereas both of Clark’s games, including Sunday’s blowout loss to the New York Liberty in Brooklyn, attracted more than 17,000 fans.

One of those games was Saturday’s 71-70 victory over Reese and the Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Compared to 2023, the Fever has seen a more than 407% increase in home attendance compared with a 14% increase for the Sky.

After Saturday’s game in which the Sky’s Chennedy Carter committed a Flagrant-1 foul against Clark, the WNBA fined Reese, who was seen clapping after the hard foul, $1,000 for not making herself available to the media in the wake of her team’s loss. The league also fined the Sky for not complying with the rule.

In this past season’s NCAA Tournament, Clark erupted for 41 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds to lead No. 1 Iowa to a 94-87 victory over Reese and No 3 LSU in the Elite Eight in Albany. It was her 13th career 40-point game.

The victory by Iowa somewhat avenged their 102-85 to Reese and the Tigers in the 2023 championship game.

That was the game where Reese famously taunted Clark by making a “you can’t see me” gesture, an homage to wrestling star John Cena.

Reese then pointed towards her ring finger in a reference to the championship ring she was on the verge of winning.

The incident made national headlines and spurred a debate about taunting, racism and double standards in women’s sports.

“It all started from the national championship game,” Reese said this week, “and I’ve been dealing with this for two years now.”
