Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren claims she has the definitive answer as to why Angel Reese deleted her Instagram on Thursday - she wanted another reason to keep eyes on her and away from Caitlin Clark.
The claim that Reese deleted Instagram just for attention is a bold one, especially to claim the Chicago Sky star has her Indiana Fever rival on her mind that much.
Yet, the jealousy that Lahren claims Resse has for her WNBA contemporary motivates all of the actions she has been taking in her time on and off the court.
Clark and Reese have been at the forefront of the rise in popularity of women's basketball since their college days at Iowa and LSU respectively.
Now, after being part of last year's WNBA draft, they are two of the biggest stars in all of basketball.
Reese seemingly deleted her Instagram after wearing a racy outfit on New Year's Eve that caused chaos on the internet.

Lahren's co-host, Clay Travis, said it does not make sense why Reese would post that outfit and not expect men to notice and judge.
'I don't understand that either. I don't think that it really bothers her, I think she likes the attention, she enjoys the attention, that's why she does it,' Lahren added. 'But she also says ridiculous things like that because she enjoys the attention.'
'And I think any time Caitlin Clark gets attention, Angel Reese has be in the corner like, "Look at me, look at me!" And it's going to be for whatever reason. She wore that and she posted that so people would talk about her because she doesn't want people talking about Caitlin Clark.
And Caitlin Clark is one of the only female stars you're not going to see in a skimpy dress and I think that's another reason why the two are so different. I don't think you'd ever see that on Caitlin Clark. But Angel Reese, she wants to be a cultural icon, she wants to be Beyonce and she wants us to talk about her and not Caitlin Clark.
Despite Clark and Reese both denying any personal animosity between the two and having anything other than a rivalry within the confines of the WNBA, many people believe the duo have a heated conflict due to how similar their career paths have been, with differing results.
Clark nor Reese has commented on the latter deleting her Instagram.
