Lisa Leslie Sparks Debate with Bold Take on Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark

WNBA icon Lisa Leslie stirred up major buzz after candidly assessing Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese during a recent podcast appearance. On The Daily Hoop, Leslie praised Clark’s “elite court vision” and “ice-cold leadership,” declaring:

“Caitlin isn’t just shooting threes—she’s redefining what a WNBA superstar looks like.”

In contrast, she critiqued Reese’s development, saying the Chicago Sky forward is relying too much on raw power:

“If I’m Angel, I’m studying film, not social feeds. Championships are won with IQ, not just strength.”

The bigger message? The modern WNBA demands more than athleticism—it’s about marketing, leadership, and adaptability. As the Reese-Clark rivalry heats up, Leslie’s message is clear: evolve or fall behind. With the season unfolding, all eyes are now on how these rising stars respond.
