In an exciting display of sportsmanship, LSU star Angel Reese extended her congratulations to Iowa's Caitlin Clark for breaking the NCAA women's scoring record. Clark's remarkable performance, where she dropped 49 points to lead the Hawkeyes to a 106-89 victory over Michigan, earned her the prestigious title.

The bond between Reese and Clark traces back to their fierce rivalry during the past season's women's NCAA championship game. During that encounter, Reese playfully waved her hand in front of Clark's face, mimicking Clark's iconic "you can't see me" gesture. Despite the on-court rivalry, Clark defended Reese, stating that both athletes were merely competing.

This week, Clark surpassed Kelsey Plum's total of 3,527 career points to set a new record of 3,569 career points. Reese wasted no time in celebrating Clark's accomplishment, taking to social media with a heartfelt message. "@CaitlinClark22 KEEP BREAKING RECORDS & MAKING HER-STORY! Congratulations," Reese exclaimed in her post.

Reese recently opened up about the rivalry between her and Clark during an interview with Women's Health magazine. She shared her appreciation for their ability to compete fiercely while remaining on good terms off the court, unfazed by any external criticism. Drawing a parallel between their rivalry and the legendary Magic Johnson and Larry Bird era of basketball, Reese expressed mutual contentment with the current situation.

In addition to Clark's personal record-breaking performance, she also set Iowa's single-game scoring record with her 49-point outburst. Her exceptional performance helped Iowa maintain their position in the intense Big Ten race, chasing Ohio State and trying to keep pace with Indiana.

The tremendous display of respect and support from Reese towards Clark highlights the camaraderie within the world of women's basketball. As both players continue to make headlines and shatter records, their rivalry adds excitement to the sport while inspiring others to push the boundaries of their abilities.

With their talents and mutual admiration, Reese and Clark are poised to leave a lasting legacy in the realm of women's basketball, forging a path for future generations of fierce competitors and friends.
