NBA great Magic Johnson sees a little bit of himself in the ongoing WNBA rivalry between Indiana star Caitlin Clark and Chicago’s Angel Reese.
The NBA championships bounced back and forth between the two teams as Bird and Johnson’s rivalry continued from one grudge match season to the next.“When I think about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s impact on the game, they remind me a lot of Larry Bird and me. Our first meeting, Indiana State vs. Michigan State, in the NCAA Championship set the all-time viewership record for men’s basketball,” Johnson wrote in a post on X.
“Larry and I heightened the NBA’s overall popularity. The Lakers and Celtics sold out arenas throughout the league and increased television viewership exponentially. The higher viewership numbers led to the NBA signing significantly larger TV contracts which then led to higher salaries for the players,” he wrote.
