Lexie Hull and Angel Reese sharing a chest bump and a hug in Rose BC’s latest training video? Yeah, nobody had that on their bingo card! Hull, who suits up alongside Caitlin Clark for the Indiana Fever, just so happens to be teaming up with Clark’s arch-rival in the newly launched Unrivaled league. Watching her build chemistry with the Bayou Barbie was definitely not in the syllabus for CC fans.Reese recently set an Unrivaled record by dropping a 20-point, 20-rebound performance, leading her team to a statement win over the previously unbeaten Lunar Owls. Lexie Hull, clearly impressed, had nothing but praise for the Chicago Sky forward, saying, “Her competitiveness is just so evident… you hear her and you feel her. As a teammate, it’s awesome. It’s great to have on your side.”This has definitely sent social media into a frenzy, and let’s just say, fans have “thoughts”. Some are hyped to see Hull and Reese vibing, while others? Not so much. The unexpected chemistry between the Indiana Fever guard and the Chicago Sky star has left plenty of CC fans scratching their heads! Let’s dive into some of the reactions.Fans react to Caitlin Clark’s teammate praising ReeseIt’s fair to say that some fans didn’t take the comments lightly! One fan even went as far as suggesting that Hull should be traded because of these comments. They took to X to say, ” Caitlin Clark needs to ask Fever to trade Lexie ASAP. I’m sorry but enough of that shit.” Caitlin Clark needs to ask Fever to trade Lexie ASAP. I’m sorry but enough of that shit. https://t.co/m35yG5MTWt— CT Smith (@scaryman42) February 25, 2025There were others too sharing the same sentiment! One said, “As I have been telling you, Sophie Cunningham is a much better version of Lexie Hull. Sophie Cunningham did more to defend Caitlin than her own teammates did last season.” If you watched Caitlin Clark last season, you know how often she was swarmed by defenders, practically getting double, triple-teamed every time she touched the ball which is not surprising given her abilities. There’s an argument that perhaps her Fever teammates weren’t able to shield her from those effectively and that has often made CC fans angry. Sophie Cunningham is now Clark’s teammate and last season she said that the Indiana superstar will eventually be one of the biggest names of this sport once she tackles the physicality aspect of this game, “She’s gonna be great. I think the rookie class is gonna be phenomenal for our League once they get that physicality thing kind of worked out”Despite the uproar, not everyone was buying into the drama. Some fans saw through the noise and understood that Lexie was just being genuine. One fan jumped in, defending her, saying, “She’s just being nice lol. What do you want her, to fight her teammate? I don’t get it.” Another fan echoed the same sentiment, adding, “Please stop. Lexies just a nice girl who’s never going to say a bad word about anyone. She’s making friends in the league. CC says nothing but nice things about the other players too.”Exactly! This should’ve been the response from the start. Let’s be real, players are going to hype up their teammates, especially when they drop monster performances like Reese’s 20-20 game. You can’t just sit there and ignore the amazing stats and be like, “Well, but there’s a rivalry with Caitlin!” That’s not how the game works. Lexie did what any good teammate would do! she showed support, recognized talent, and kept it real. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you ask me, it’s just good sportsmanship, and it’s refreshing to see players backing each other up, no matter the rivalry.
