The discussion about which player is most popular and which benefits from the other more is pointless, given the fact that Clark is the sole reason anyone is paying close attention to the WNBA, but a select few keep beating the drum for Reese playing a key role in both the popularity of the league and Clark herself.
Joy Taylor is one of those people.
The FS1 host recently joined ‘The Joe Budden Podcast’ and hit not one but two stereotypical talking points while discussing Clark and Reese as she quickly brought race into the discussion.
“When Angel and Caitlin got into it in the (NCAA) championship game, and Angel did the ring thing, I said ‘this is the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird moment for the WNBA,’” Taylor said. “Like, this is great. I’m a storyteller. I think storylines are so fu-king important. I think you need villains, I think you need heroes. You need sh-t to sell. You’ve got to sell a fight. Like, brand, all of this. It upset white men to watch this strong, winning, unapologetic black woman be in Caitlin’s face, and they still cling to it.”
