Gilbert Arenas Wants a Caitlin Clark–Angel Reese Superteam: “I’d Sell Everything to Make It Happen”
🔥 GILBERT ARENAS DROPS A BOMB 🔥
“If I’m the Indiana Fever, I’m making a push for Angel… CC and Angel??? I’m selling out everything I’m selling!!”
Arenas just threw the gauntlet down, demanding a Caitlin Clark + Angel Reese superteam that could shake the very foundation of the WNBA. Love it or hate it, he’s saying what others won’t: no price is too high, no asset too sacred, if it means uniting the two most polarizing young stars in basketball.
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is never one to shy away from bold statements, but his latest take has sent shockwaves through both the basketball world and social media. On his podcast, Arenas floated the idea of pairing two of women’s basketball’s biggest rising icons — Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese — on the same team. His message was clear: if he were running the Indiana Fever, he would give up everything to make that dream lineup a reality.
Arenas’s Vision: Clark + Reese = A Dynasty
Arenas, known for his outspoken and often controversial commentary, didn’t hold back.
“If I’m the Indiana Fever, I’m making a push for Angel,” Arenas said. “CC and Angel? I’m selling out everything I’m selling!!”
The statement wasn’t just hyperbole. Arenas believes a team led by Caitlin Clark, the generational rookie phenom already shattering records in her first WNBA season, and Angel Reese, the polarizing LSU champion turned Chicago Sky star, would be an unstoppable force.
To Arenas, the combination is bigger than just basketball. It’s about business, media attention, and creating a cultural phenomenon that would take women’s basketball to a level never seen before.
The Caitlin Clark Effect
Caitlin Clark has already proven to be the WNBA’s golden ticket. Her arrival with the Indiana Fever sparked sellout crowds, historic TV ratings, and merchandise sales that rival the NBA’s top stars. Her deep shooting range and fiery competitiveness have made her must-watch television every time she steps on the floor.
But Clark can’t do it alone. The Fever are still building their roster around her and Aliyah Boston, hoping to create a long-term championship contender. That’s where Arenas sees Reese fitting in — a player with the star power, rebounding dominance, and defensive grit that could perfectly complement Clark’s scoring brilliance.
Angel Reese: The Rival Turned Teammate?
Angel Reese has carved out her own path as one of basketball’s most talked-about stars. Nicknamed the “Bayou Barbie,” she gained national attention during LSU’s championship run and carried that spotlight into the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. Known for her swagger, toughness, and unapologetic style, Reese is as polarizing as she is powerful.
Pairing her with Clark would not only unite two of the game’s most marketable young stars but also flip the narrative. The two have often been positioned as rivals, their college battles drawing record-breaking viewership. Arenas’s superteam pitch imagines them joining forces instead of competing — and the idea alone has fans buzzing.
Would the Fever Make the Move?
For now, Reese remains firmly in Chicago, and the Fever are focused on developing their young core. But Arenas’s fantasy scenario highlights a larger conversation happening in women’s basketball: how do you build the league’s first true superteam in the modern era?
The WNBA has seen dynasties before — the Houston Comets in the late 1990s, the Minnesota Lynx in the 2010s — but nothing quite like what Clark and Reese could bring together. With Clark’s global popularity and Reese’s cultural influence, the Fever could theoretically become not just a basketball powerhouse, but a cultural juggernaut.
Fans React: Hype or Impossible Dream?
Social media lit up after Arenas’s comments. Some fans echoed his excitement:
-
“Clark + Reese on the same team would break the internet. Make it happen!”
-
“That duo could be bigger than any WNBA pairing in history.”
Others, however, were skeptical, pointing to salary cap restrictions and the difficulty of prying Reese away from Chicago.
-
“Arenas is dreaming. The Fever don’t have the assets to pull that off.”
-
“It’s fun to imagine, but Reese is Sky through and through right now.”
Still, the sheer buzz proves Arenas hit on something real: fans crave big, headline-making moves that shake up the league.
Why Arenas’s Idea Matters
While Arenas’s vision may not come to fruition anytime soon, it underscores a critical shift in how women’s basketball is being discussed. For decades, the conversation around the WNBA has been about survival and growth. Now, with stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, it’s about dominance, spectacle, and creating generational teams that can rival the storylines of the NBA.
For Arenas, the Fever have the chance to be that franchise — the one that redefines what’s possible. Whether or not they can make it happen, his call to “sell out everything” to unite Clark and Reese reflects a growing demand for bold, ambitious moves in the league.
Closing Thoughts
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese together on the same roster may remain a fantasy for now, but the idea alone speaks volumes. It’s a vision of the WNBA not just growing, but exploding — into arenas packed with fans, into primetime broadcasts, into cultural relevance on par with the NBA.
As Gilbert Arenas himself made clear, it’s not just about basketball. It’s about creating a phenomenon.
“CC and Angel? I’m selling out everything,” Arenas declared.
And judging by the reaction, plenty of fans would sell out arenas to watch it.
