In contrast to the rivalry with Caitlin Clark, the singer with a net worth of $3 million celebrates a special moment between Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson

In contrast to the rivalry with Caitlin Clark, the singer with a net worth of  million celebrates a special moment between Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson

Can two WNBA stars from opposing teams be friends? The story of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese proves that’s not possible. The duo have played against each other on and off throughout their NCAA careers. However, a recent picture from the WNBA game is proof that anything is possible. The picture shows a moment between the Chicago Sky and the Las Vegas Aces as they played at Wintrust Arena on Thursday. And it was shared on social media by a singer with a net worth of three million dollars.

The highly anticipated match-up generated a lot of buzz, especially because it was between Reese and A’ja Wilson, who have been compared in the WNBA. Wilson had won the Rookie of the Year award in her first season (2018), something Reese has her eye on this year. But despite the tight neck-and-neck competition, one snapshot from the match generated a lot of buzz.

Kehlani shared the image of Wilson and Reese at their recent game on her Instagram stories on Thursday. Reese was seen wearing a black sleeve on his leg while Wilson wore a white sleeve on his leg. The two gave each other a high five. A carousel post on the same topic was shared by the WNBA in collaboration with the official account of the Las Vegas Aces. Kehlani shared the image on Friday with love emojis showing how happy she was to see the two stars blend together.

However, this behavior is very different from Reese’s behavior towards Clark. Reese has been competing against Clark since their time in the NCAA, when she defeated John Cena’s ‘You can not see me’ during the 2022-23 NCAA Finals and ultimately won the game. This sparked a controversy with many stars siding with Reese while others favored Clark. But when talking about Reese’s attitude toward Wilson, she has a mentee bond with her.

Reese had previously stated that she viewed Wilson as a leader and was inspired by her, which led her to wear the one-legged sleeve. Reese had also revealed at the time that she had had a rod inserted into her left leg, which had left some scars, and that was why she wore the extravagant one-legged sleeve.

She also took the names of her idols – Wilson and Te’a Cooper – and was not afraid to say that there were some “Prey.” And with Reese now performing exceptionally well in the WNBA, perhaps she will follow Wilson’s path and become MVP one day.

This example proves that while there is a lot of competition and rivalry in the financially rich league, there is also a sisterhood. And our collective responsibility is to talk about those friendships just as much as we talk about the fights.
