Angel Reese shows up for Caitlin Clark battle sporting jersey of best rebounder in NBA history

Friday night in the WNBA will give fans a treat. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever face off against Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky. The two have been rivals since college, with the media pitting the two against each other in comparisons for the past few years.  So far in their short WNBA careers, the two have lived up to the hype. Clark leads the league in assists. Reese leads the league in rebounds. Knowing her role and with her penchant for fashion, Reese showed up to the Friday night game sporting a Dennis Rodman jersey.

Somewhat surprisingly, Reese opted to go with the Detroit Pistons version instead of the more popular Chicago Bulls one. Rodman, of course, is arguably the best rebounder in basketball history.  Rodman was the NBA leader in rebounds in seven separate seasons. Only Wilt Chamberlain had more years doing that. Rodman spent his first seven seasons in Detroit, where he became a rebounding menace particularly in his final three years there.

He then joined Michael Jordan’s Bulls in 1995 and won three straight NBA Championships. Although Rodman doesn’t own the top spot in rebounds or rebounds per game in NBA history, he’s considered by many to be the most skilled rebounder ever given he was able to do it so well at 6-foot-7.  Reese clearly tries to tailor her game in the style of someone like Rodman, who treated rebounding as an art.
