The first round of the WNBA 2024 All-Star Game voting results were released on Friday.
And the league’s two biggest rookie sensations, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, are second and seventh in All-Star Game voting, respectively.
This should not come as a surprise. Considering the massive fanbases that these two have (and because voting is based on fan opinion), these two were always sure to soon be All-Stars.
And since they both play in the Eastern Conference, this means that the two longtime rivals will become teammates when the All-Star Game takes place.
And fans are having fun imagining what this will look like.

One X user posted a GIF of public figure Druski celebrating a goal in a soccer game, with the caption, “when we get a cc to angel assist in the all star game”.

Another fan responded with “when they point to each other after the bucket>>>>>”.
And one fan took it a step further by saying, “Wait until they both play for the US in the Olympics. We’re going to lose our minds!”
