"No class": Michael Jordan's ex-teammate Ron Harper misfires at Indiana Fever after Angel Reese mockery

Angel Reese's rivalry with Caitlin Clark has been ongoing for a couple of years now. The Indiana Fever star has had a better start to her WNBA career, and she's become one of the consensus best players in the world.

Reese had the last laugh in college. However, the Chicago Sky hasn't found success with her on the court, and her shooting struggles have drawn mockery on social media.

Even without Clark, the Fever beat the Sky 79-52 on Saturday, with Reese scoring just four points on 2 of 7 shooting. An Indiana parody account made the most of the chance to take another shot at her.

"Angel Reese pulling up to games like it’s New York Fashion Week… and leaving with 4 points and 2 rebounds. 💅📸🏀," the parody account tweeted.

The tweet went viral and reached former NBA champion Ron Harper, who mistakenly thought it was the Fever's official X account.

"This is wrong for a team to do this too another player in the @WNBA, no class @IndianaFever," Harper tweeted on Sunday.

Caitlin Clark may have taunted Angel Reese in latest encounter

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have a long history of back-and-forth, physical fouls and what many considered as petty gestures and comments.

Despite being on the sidelines during Saturday's Fever-Sky matchup, Clark pointed to Indiana's side of the court after Reese was called for a travel.

"In the middle of Indiana’s dominant win over the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese was called for a blatant travel directly in front of the Fever bench. That’s when Clark—off the floor but far from silent—sprang up and fired off a sharp, mocking hand gesture, mimicking the referee’s call with a swagger-packed flair," TMSPN tweeted.

Things got heated in their first encounter of the season when Clark was called for a flagrant foul on Reese. Fans flooded social media to debate whether it was intentional or not.

Both players have had nothing but praise and words of respect for one another off the court. However, they won't back down from any challenge and will look to make a statement when they're on the hardwood.
