Who cares anymore at this point. Everyone knows who should be on the cover. Plus I didn't even know that Sports Illustrated was still a thing. I believe they call that irrelevant.
Angel isn't the rookie of the year. Angel's team isn't going to the playoffs. All the proof you need that his is politically & racially motivated. Sports Illustrated is a joke.
Additionally, Reese puts sensual pictures out there, while Clark is more reserved…makes sense..they are both very beautiful, but I’m glad that it isn’t Caitlin, she is better than that 😉
Angel Reese is a very good player. Clark is going to be one of the greatest. Clark has had the impact on the WNBA that Michael Jordan had on the NBA. Reese isn’t even Isaiah. She’s not even a Dennis Rodman. Half of her rebounds off of her own missed shots. She is easy on the eyes.
Seriously, just let Reese have it. 10 years from now Clark will be putting the bow on what will likely be the greatest WNBA career on record. And Reese will be the answer to a trivia question. An elite rebounder with epically horrid offensive skills. Never met a rim she didn't try to blow off the backboard with one of her thunderbricks.
Alcaraz, Mahones, and of course Caitlin would have been the correct cover selections--yes, sharing the cover. Angel had no business being on the cover.
Yeah Angel Reese on the cover & unattractive women on their swimsuit issues. They bobbed when they should have weaved It's kind of like Playboy doing away with nudity. It's like they apparently just want to completely fade away into obscurity.
All of this drama the media is causing along with social media nonsense has ruined the WNBA at this point for me. I just cannot watch it anymore. It's not about basketball.
Eh, doesn't matter. Caitlin doesn't care about any of that, we shouldn't either. Let the lesser players worry about crap like social media, podcasts and irrelevant ESPN and SI. CC just focuses on playing good ball, remaining a stellar human, a profeesional, and getting massive contracts.
Why all the hate for Caitlin is it just because she’s not a black clam bumper. First player that brings fans to a league that would have been bankrupt years ago if not for the NBA financing them
With Sports Illustrated's recent track record of putting men and ugly women on the cover if their swim suit edition, there's no mystery to me why the would elevate Angel over Caitlin!
So this is SI's version of an Affirmative Action cover. CC must be laughing her head off. Its no wonder SI is facing severe financial trouble and has moved from a weekly to a monthly publication.
I doubt CC cares. If she does it’s fuel. I think the media creates more drama than there actually is and it gets tiring. I just like to see good basketball ball.

@@nickv4073 No...because the point is Angel doesn't deserve to be on the cover. CC should be on the cover if we are talking about WNBA basketball. If we are talking about streetwalking outfits, playing victim, and missing layups then I see your point.
Who really cares, Caitlin keeps doing what she does and the cream always rises to the top. If not for Caitlin, I would not know another player in the league. That speaks volumes.
Reese moves the needle 0% she's a mediocre basketball player, who only rebounds 65% of her own shots. None of the women before Caitlyn Clark moved the needle even 1%. I've never ever talked about basketball women's or men's until Clark, because it's an interesting story. Boycott sports illustrated
@@christophernaples1315 All mainstream media is bad. Point was one of these propaganda magazines should take advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on Sports Illustrated's mistake. I wouldn't read it, but I would enjoy watching all the youtubers content if it did happen. lol
Sports Illustrated obviously and intentionally got it wrong!! Sorry, wrong picture, wrong person on the cover... the face of women's basketball is Caitlin Clark...
SI, ESPN, Disney, all the wokesters can't stop CC, because real fans want the great hoops and none of this unrelenting stupid drama. It doesn't matter at all, and from a commercial standpoint reese killed her stock herself, I doubt we will ever hear much more from her. No savvy marketing dept. is going anywhere near her toxicity, while CC is the perfect frontperson for any product she will be printing money for decades.
No problem with Reese being on the Cover...Clark has a commercial on tv... They are the two most talked about womens basketball players... Its not like they put Erica Wheeler on the cover..
Well if I was creating a mag cover, I would take in consideration...how many times have you seen one of these two women consistantly "Look Hot" in pics, video clips, social events, etc...and when have you seen the other one do that? Clark is the face of the WNBA and destined to be one of the top players for sure, but Reece's pop-culture, fashion, and social presence seem to be what Sport Illustrated was going for with this selection. NOT everything is about "Race"
I'm black but I honestly believe Caitlin Clark's run has been amazing. She's on course for rookie of the year & MVP. Having Angel on sports illustrated is like having Rodman over Curry, total BS
Reese has actually been on the cover of sports illustrated 3 times already since college. She's more influential than any of them just look at her social media. Thats what influence is people lol
I get it now. You released this video and have 8.5K views. Angel released her video the same time 'Latto and Marian Play Matchmaker with Angel' 229,757 views. Both videos posted 1 day ago. Sport illustrated wanted to guarantee sales.
let's see, the award says most valuable player. aja is a baller no doubt, great player. what has she done for the league, she Plays on a stacked team that would make the playoffs without her. Clark has transformed the league, attendance, merchandise sales, she broke 14 records in her rookie year and took fever to the playoffs, when last Year they were in Last place, so yeah lets discuss most VALUABLE player.
having angel reese on the cover of most influential people in sports is like having a trans man on the cover of the swimsuit edition. si has replaced the wnba in the obscurity toilet.
It doesn’t cost much with AR for her image. But it would bigger investment if they want CC. But SI blew their chances. This would be a big financial lift for them for a comeback. If they goes with CC I’m sure they will sell out once it publishes…..
Actually it figures they did that instead of having Aja or Caitlin on the cover. They are a failing entity, and they have to do this to get people to pay any attention, negative attention is better than NO attention to losers-right?
At least CC got the full width picture and longer more complimentary write up. If anything the content had a veiled dig at AR?? All in the last sentence. Maybe AR on cover because Reece’s people negotiating hard in the background with SI?
Angel Reese is at best a Mid-Tier player. She can't shot to save her life and a good portion of her rebounds are from her own missed layups. And she is a stat padder. As far as A'ja Wilson being the MVP I question that. Yes she had a great season stat wise. But that is not what the MVP is supposed to be about. MVP means Most Valuable Player to Your Team or at least it's supposed to mean that. The Fever improved by 7 games this year, Not only that they played better. A'ja Wilson is on a team full of Superstars and Olympic Gold Medalist. And the Aces were not as good as they were last season.
We're living in a new generation of lies. I'm a black man and this race crap is tiring. People should be honest with themselves so that they can be honest to Reese, she's not a good player in basketball actually.
Clark’s on the cover of Slam October 2024 !!! They keep handing out Dei awards to Angel and she thinks she’s the best player because all those people around her keep telling her lies !!!
I picked Boston then WKRP. I never noticed the guitar flame before, and even after staring at it for 5 mins I still don't see it, and I play Electric Guitar. A whole lot of smoking going on back then so who knows what the concept was supposed to be.
I predict AR next year will not be the rebounder she was this year as the designated double double getter. Other Sky players were disparaged for getting rebounds. Literally. When AR had. to play a real game where the opponent was not complicit in the double double scheme she did poorly. She had 5 RBs against Indiana until trash time
Sports Illustrated died a long time ago. Their relevance is on the level of Howard Stern.
This is a perfect example.
You rock.
"BABABOOIE!"
A magazine known for sports is only famous for its swimsuit edition,.. and now if even that 😂
NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A BOY LOOKING WOMAN 😂😂😂, ....IT DIED WITH LARRY BIRD 🤡
Who cares anymore at this point. Everyone knows who should be on the cover. Plus I didn't even know that Sports Illustrated was still a thing. I believe they call that irrelevant.
Angel isn't the rookie of the year. Angel's team isn't going to the playoffs. All the proof you need that his is politically & racially motivated. Sports Illustrated is a joke.
And her own teammates are actually crying on the podium because her (Reese's) fans are attacking them on social media.
Additionally, Reese puts sensual pictures out there, while Clark is more reserved…makes sense..they are both very beautiful, but I’m glad that it isn’t Caitlin, she is better than that 😉
HERE WE GO!!
I forgot Sports Illustrated was still around. Now I remember why I forgot them.
Sports Illistration is as bad as ESPN
e-spin
BSPN.
🌹🏀👠 This is disrespectful to A'ja Wilson, let alone Caitlin Clark🕯💕🕊📜
Yep
A'ja is no one compared to CC when it comes to influence. Best player hands down in the WNBA but not influential whatsoever.
It's the Indiana fever fans fault...
Angel Reece, who throws more bricks than a 3rd degree mason!
😂😂😂
I love it when a former good magazine tries getting rid of their last 3 paying customers.
Lol
More shocking to me than the Reese cover was the fact Sports Illustrated is still around.
Reese wouldn’t have won a ring in college if it wasn’t for Clark beating South Carolina
@@Wmikewtonytone Good point
Keep telling yourself that if it helps cope😂
@@Sistasoulja-825 she never beat South Carolina

I totally agree
One could say that the goal here is to get rid of the WNBA as a league because its no longer a safe haven for the alphabet community.
Eh, doesn't matter. Caitlin doesn't care about any of that, we shouldn't either. Let the lesser players worry about crap like social media, podcasts and irrelevant ESPN and SI. CC just focuses on playing good ball, remaining a stellar human, a profeesional, and getting massive contracts.

Watch the fan base diminish before your eyes
A’ja Wilson should have been on that cover before Reese. A’ja is the MVP. CC is ROTY.
Should have been A'ja and CC back to back on the cover, the MVP and ROTY on the cover would have been epic.

Stating the obvious here but as soon as the Fever get eliminated from the playoffs ratings will plummet drastically.
It's a crab getting violated
Take more than a picture to boost these players up
There's another company that don't know how to market their product Lol!
They also put a trans in the swim suit issue. Its not a magazine an athlete needs to be in.

All racists. On the board.
Oh good grief, give her the cover, it made her day, Catilin dominated everything eles in the WNBA.

Never will i look at another sports illistrated see ya
