This is the truth. The inferiority complex is in the person claiming disrespect when their wasn’t any.

Angel Reese, explaining why she taunted Clark, said that Clark disrespected Reese’s teammate whom she was guarding. It turned out that the “disrespect” was that she sagged back and left her open. That is a calculated move to help out on post defense because the other player is not a great shooter. That’s not disrespecting the teammate.

As others have pointed out, this was probably a case of Mulkey firing them up by saying, “They aren’t respecting you.” And Reese, being young, was unable to separate that from actual disrespect.

Then some national pundits turned it into a shite show.

"Respect: admire (someone or something) deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements."

If you leave your opponent wide open and don't even guard them, you aren't respecting them. You don't believe they can hit that shot. It's not disrespect as a person, but as a shooter it is. That isn't made up or manufactured. You always hear coaches tell their team to respect their opponent when they play a huge underdog team. Same concept.

It's not uncommon for a coach to use that lack of respect motivation technique, yet most players don't subsequently taunt and act disrespectfully after the competition is done. I see players fight and taunt during games frequently, but once the competition is done, they normally show respect to each other. It takes something egregious, for which Clark's sagging and hand flip to another team don't qualify, to lead to any subsequent disrespect. Usually the disrespect comes in the form of not shaking hands or maybe some type of comment from a distance, but not getting in your vanquished opponents face to taunt him.
