Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark edged out rival Angel Reese again as LA Sparks forward Dearica Hamby snubbed Reese's rebounding for Clark's elite skill. The $202,000 worth All-Star was seen preferring the Fever guard's passing ability over Reese's defensive acumen, claiming she already had that in her arsenal.

On the Whistle YouTube channel, Hamby was seen playing a game of Would You Rather.

"Would you rather have Caitlin Clark's passing ability or Angel Reese's rebounding ability?" the host questioned Hamby. (2:15 onwards)

The former Aces star quickly responded to the query as she snubbed Reese's rebounding for Clark's passing.

"Caitlin Clark's passing ability," she said. "I can already rebound enough. I can be a better passer," she explained.

The host continued the game as the three-time WNBA All-Star was asked to choose between Steph Curry's jump shot and Kyrie Irving's handles.

"Steph's jumpshot. If I have the passing ability already. ... I just need to be able to shoot," she said referring to Clark's passing ability.

Hamby appeared on the channel and participated in an interactive interview, where she enjoyed a spa day. The Sparks forward and host were seen getting their nails done while sipping tea as they discussed various topics on and off the court.

The 10-year veteran has had a bright start to the 2025 WNBA season despite the Sparks winning two of their five opening games. She's averaging 18.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
