re: Angel Reese trash talks = thug. Caitlin Clark trash talks = competitor. Whats wrong here?

I posted this in the game thread, but I’ll bring it here too for discussion:

Look at how easy it always was to get Rasheed Wallace a tech. Or how easy it is to get Draymond Green a tech. JJ Reddick got quick techs based on prior actions. Once you get a reputation it’s never just about the latest play. Refs look to T you up.

That’s just how basketball is. Angel can dig in and make no changes or she can recognize that the way she acted before she got famous has made her a target now that she’s a household name and she will always be a target until she controls this.

Good teams/players will exploit it. She’s made herself marked, fairly or unfairly. If she doesn’t want to sit early in big games, she needs to learn how to protect herself.
