Ex-Laker compares Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry to a legendary NBA rivalry

The Magic Johnson-Larry Bird rivalry is one of the best rivalries in professional basketball history. Former Lakers forward Cedric Ceballos sees similarities between it and the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry.

Ceballos shared his insight on July 7.

"It’s white, it’s black, it’s this, it’s that, it’s cornbread, it’s city guy, I mean, I can go on and on and on," Ceballos said (1:03:00), via "Fast Break." "One, Larry and Magic were unbelievable. These two are the same way, two different style."

Ceballos also compared the two players and highlighted their differences. He praised Clark for her shooting skills and range, and spoke highly of Reese for being gritty on the court and called her a "bully."

However, when it came to choosing between them, Ceballos chose Reese. He explained that the Sky forward won a national championship in college, and no matter how good Clark is, she has to win championships.
