Angel Reese defends gesture directed towards Caitlin Clark after LSU national title win; calls out double standard after being ‘unapologetically’ her
LSU's Angel Reese defends gesture toward Caitlin Clark, citing double standard in reactions.
LSU star Angel Reese defended her gesture toward Iowa's Caitlin Clark after the Tigers' 102-85 victory in the 2023 NCAA women's basketball championship game on April 2, 2023. Reese made a 'You can't see me' motion popularized by WWE star John Cena before pointing to her ring finger, which some interpreted as referencing her championship ring. The gesture drew criticism from some, including sports journalist Jose de Jesus Ortiz and former ESPN host Keith Olbermann, but Reese called out a double standard, noting Clark made a similar gesture earlier in the tournament against Louisville without public backlash. Reese, who scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, won the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award and averaged 23.0 points and 15.4 rebounds for the season. She emphasized her pride in being 'unapologetically' herself and stated the gesture was for 'girls that look like me' who speak up for what they believe in.
