The narrative surrounding Reese, however, has slowly taken a turn, with many seemingly taking shots at Reese.
First, it was famed rapper, Ice Cube, founder of BIG3, who offered an unprompted quote about not having as much money for Reese to play for his league as they had for Clark last year ($5 million).
And now, on Tuesday, WNBA legend, television personality, and soon to be podcast host, Candace Parker, filled her mouth with Reese's name.
“Speaking about Angel (Reese) must be the only way to be heard on a Podcast or to stay relevant?” Parker said.
Reese, who's fresh off extending her double-double streak to 11 games, appeared to fire back at Parker, putting out a mysterious tweet on Tuesday night.

"clout is one helluva DRUG. like it really gets to a point." Reese posted on her official X account.
Reese appears to be responding, in her own unique way, to Parker's comments. Parker's comments were pulled from her new podcast, "Post Moves". The new podcast is set to debut on Wednesday. It's a new podcast Parker is set to co-host with Fever All-Star center, Aliyah Boston.
Less than hour after posting her tweet on X, Reese's message had over 500 comments.
"Y’all need to put some respect on Candace Parker’s name. She just tells it like it is." one user posted.
"Yeah Candace is getting weird. Stop showing her love it’s not reciprocated." another user posted.
"Anything for views and likes," another user said.
"If there was a get your money up without mentioning Angel Reese challenge, they’d lose," another fan posted.
With Parker and Boston's first episode of "Post Moves" set to officially launch on Wednesday, time will tell how it is received given this ongoing back-and-forth between Reese and Parker.
Reese, as usual, appears ready to defend herself on and off the court.
