Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were standout figures in NCAA basketball during the 2022-23 season onwards, with both athletes rising to prominence and being selected as top picks in the recent WNBA draft.
While fans frequently compare the two stars, they each embody distinct personalities and lifestyles, with Clark often showcasing a more grounded demeanor than her rival.
In her recent exit interview following the Indiana Fever‘s playoff elimination, Clark discussed the challenges of fame and the scrutiny that comes with it.
“I feel like everybody is watching your every move no matter what you’re doing,” Clark shared.
“And I feel like the best thing that I’ve tried to live by is just be the same person that I am off the court whether I’m leaving my apartment every single day or whether I am here sitting in front of all you all.
“I’ve tried to approach it in the same exact manner that I can and treat everybody with the same amount of respect that I can and to try to build really good relationships with people.”
Clark strives to treat everyone with respect, regardless of her success, and has built strong bonds with teammates throughout her basketball journey, from her time at Iowa to her current WNBA team.
