Outkick founder Clay Travis mocked Angel Reese with a 'pity' response after she blocked him on X. The move came shortly after Travis issued a $100k challenge to face her in a one-on-one basketball game
On Friday, Travis shared a screenshot on X showing that he had been blocked by Reese. In the tweet's caption, he took a jab at the WNBA star:
"I guess this means @reese10angel is turning down my one on one challenge. A pity. I spent today working on the sky hook."
In a following thread, Travis continued his mockery of the Sky star, reposting a comment that featured an AI generated image of him performing a layup against Reese.
"I can’t believe she took this from us," Travis captioned his repost.
On May 17, Angel Reese found herself at the center of drama after the game against Indiana Fever. The Sky star and Caitlin Clark were involved in a heated moment, which ended with the Fever guard receiving a flagrant foul.
Travis had issued his challenge to Reese following her incident with Clark. He asked his followers for their thoughts on who would win between him and the Sky star if they faced each other in a 1-on-1 game with 1s and 2s being the only allowed scoring forms.
