Caitlin Clark had one of the best debut seasons in the history of the WNBA. Her talent pitted her fans against those of Chicago Sky star Angel Reese all through last season, and the animosity has continued into the offseason.

On Wednesday, Ken Swift, a Clark superfan, responded to being trolled by a Reese fan on X. This came after a birthday cake from his wife was themed with the Indiana Fever star.

"Like this is an own, I literally tweeted this pic myself genius. Wasn’t a party theme, was a cake given to me by my wife. Maybe Angel can help you find a boyfriend. Keep tweeting," Swift tweeted.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were two of the WNBA's most talked-about personalities last season. Their race for the coveted Rookie of the Year award saw them give their all for their teams, with Clark winning over fans through her sharpshooting from beyond the arc and Reese via her rebound ability.

Eventually, Clark was crowned the ROTY. She led the Fever to their first playoff spot since 2016 where they were swept in two games by the Connecticut Sun in a first-round series.

"Is Caitlin Clark a bigger under-30 star than any other under-30 star in the NBA? ... I don't even think that's a debate," Simmons said.
“I literally did not care about women’s college basketball 10 years ago in any way, shape or form. So, I think some things have moved towards, just the quality of play is more fun to watch. She seems to be some sort of catalyst that is like before and after, and now we’re in the after.”

She led the Indiana Fever to become the league's most-watched team. They averaged 1.19 million viewers per game, according to the Sports Business Journal.

Caitlin Clark's debut season ended with averages of 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. Although she didn't lead her team past the Sun, she earned a spot on the All-WNBA first team.
