ESPN left fans baffled after making Angel Reese the favorite for the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year Award.

The ROTY race is heating up and is now the most exciting aspect of the current regular season due to Reese and Clark being the frontrunners.

The rivals have led impressive individual campaigns in 2024 and are breaking records almost every game. They’ve been finding ways to upstage each other all season, but only one of them will win the award at the end of the term.

As of Thursday morning, The Worldwide Leader in Sports had the Chicago Sky forward down to win the award, having released their latest 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award rankings.

Reese moved ahead of Clark to claim the No. 1 spot this week. And fans couldn’t handle it

Angel Reese has surpassed Caitlin Clark for the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s rookie of the year rankings.

“It’s just for clicks. At the end of the year Caitlin Clark will be rookie of the year,” another declared.

“They are so clearly doing this for clicks. No one ACTUALLY think Angel Reese is better than CC,” a third said.

“This is wildly upsetting. Caitlin’s in a league of her own and Reese doesn’t belong in ROTY talks,” a fourth remarked.

“They really trying hard huh,” a user claimed.
