Earlier this week, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were both welcomed to their respective WNBA franchises with their opening press conferences.
The Indiana Fever rolled out the red carpet for their No. 1 overall pick — literally. Clark was driven to the team facilities in a Mercedes Sprinter van and met by a crowd of cheering fans.

Reese didn’t exactly get the same treatment. The Chicago Sky’s No. 7 overall pick entered a near-empty gym with no fans and only a couple reporters there to welcome her.

Fans were quick to point out the disparity between these two welcomes.
