LSU's Angel Reese explains Caitlin Clark trash talk: 'I don't take disrespect lightly'

LSU star Angel Reese explained her taunts to Iowa's Caitlin Clark was payback for the alleged "disrespect" the shooter showed to her teammates and South Carolina.

LSU star Angel Reese explained why she gave Iowa’s Caitlin Clark a taste of her own medicine at the end of the Tigers’ national championship win against the Hawkeyes on Sunday night.

Reese pointed to her ring finger to signify she was ready to get the championship party started and hit Clark with the John Cena "you can’t see me taunt." Reese immediately received a ton of backlash on social media for it.

But she told ESPN hosts what she was thinking in the moment and gave props to Clark as a player. She pointed to how Clark waved off a South Carolina player in the national semifinal on Friday night, which even prompted a reaction from LSU guard Alexis Morris before the game.

"Caitlin Clark is a hell of a player for sure, but I don’t take disrespect lightly," Reese said. "And she disrespected Alexis and South Carolina, they’re still my SEC girls, too. You all are not going to disrespect them either.
