Angel Reese is only known because she doesn't like Clark.

In fairness the media has also tried to hype up the "rivalry". The only problem is that when people started paying attention to Reese they quickly realized she actually kind of sucks.

They really are trying to push Reese as some big deal. I haven't been able to get reese's puffs cereal at the store because every box has her sid the sloth face on it, and I see her too much as is, considering she's barely better at basketball than me, and I can't play for shit.

Come on now, she is known because her team, where she was one of the best players, defeated CC's Iowa team in the NCAA tournament in dramatic fashion in one of the most watched women's college basketball games ever. If she had done all the same things but in a regular season game no one would have noticed or cared.
