Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese caused a media frenzy after their infamous “you can’t see me” exchange in the 2023 NCAA championship game. There was a fierce debate over their perceived rivalry and it only intensified once they became the hottest prospects in the WNBA's rookie class. The media’s fixation on their so-called rivalry has been fueled by the same gender and racial bias that has haunted women’s sports for generations. And now that Clark and Reese have brought thousands of new fans to the sport, is it safe to say that this storyline is what the WNBA needed? Or has it invited toxicity into a space that has always prided itself on its inclusivity and sisterhood? In this groundbreaking series, Cari Champion searches for answers from those who know Clark and Reese best – from the coaches who helped shape their game, to the players and journalists who have witnessed their meteoric rise first-hand. Champion traces the incredible parallel paths of not just these two historic talents but the WNBA itself, and sets the stage for the collision course that has brought us to this very moment. The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese is not just about two of the brightest flames the sport has ever seen, but it also asks an essential question – in a time of such divisiveness, is it possible to let greatness unite us?

Nikki and Brian are hanging out with comedians Lizzy Cooperman and Sean O’Connor. Nikki knew she loved Lizzy from the moment they met because Lizzy had a messy purse. They all agree that showing your mess is being real. Nikki had an epic night after hearing about Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris. They gave a shoutout to a bestie, sent out positive vibes, and also said it’s cool if she's not feeling it. Sean thinks he needs to get off of antidepressants because he is indifferent about stuff people have feelings over. Lizzy isn’t a fan of being touched, while Nikki knows some guys expect a hello kiss, and she’s not completely grossed out by it. In the Final Thought, one of Sean's most embarrassing moments comes out and it makes for a great joke.
