Angry fans blasted 2K for choosing Reese over Caitlin Clark.
“It’s like putting Andre Drummond on the cover,” said one fan on X.
‘She didn’t even make the top 10 in fan voting for the all star game” commented another fan.
Despite the critics, it seems that Reese is making a substantial amount of money these days and is laughing all the way to the bank.
