right on the heels of winning rookie of the month

oh and before the offensive rebounds off her own misses comments start, she has the most by a lot if you remove them

It must suck to do so good and still know that you’re in someone else’s shadow that’s doing things for your sport that you know you’ll never be able to accomplish lol

Why do they count a million rebounds off your own point blank misses?

Why is that to be celebrated? Congrats, you're tall. Just bizarre these "rebounds" are a sign of ROTY. Someone in the media joked that Reese is stat padding because she sucks skill-wise.

Yea we should just take rebounds out of basketball stats all together, they’re pointless right?

That is because they have the worst overall Fg and 3pt percentage. Much easier to get offensive Rebounds when your team is shooting league worst.

She scored more points per game than Clark last month as well so I don't know why you think it was "just" rebounds.

...as opposed to just not counting the rebounds? Do you think before your post?

Have you even watched a WNBA game? A Sky game? Even if you don't, from a quick search you can find out a couple of things. Angel Reese has more offensive rebounds than anyone in the WNBA even if you take out all her rebounds of her own shots. Not if you take theirs out too, if you just take hers out she is till 1 OREB ahead of the #2 player. Also, in Total rebounds, she would drop to 4th, again without taking the same rebounds away from the others.

She has 97 OREBS, 34 are her own missed shots. The other thing I learned was that graphic all the tards keep posting is photoshopped. Typical.

Angel is a terrific offensive rebounder and probably an average shooter so it stands to reason she would get quite a few of her own missed since she typically shoots inside shots.

You say that, but the WNBA vets are rallying around Reese.

Also true, the WNBA needed a draw because most guys don't watch the WNBA (both of us included, I suspect) so they needed someone to appeal to a broader demographic, CC is that person though I think she will need to step up her shooting (FTR, I think she will) to maintain that interest.

She’s a DOGSHIT inside shooter and way down at the bottom of the list on shots inside 8ft. I’m talking like bottom 2 or 3 lol

But nobody wants to hear that

Because they know nothing can stop what Clark is doing and they are jealous of it. Of course they are going to rally around Reese when an “outsider” threatens “their game”

Let me preface this by saying I just can’t watch a minute of live WNBA “action.” Even the highlights with SVP trying to spice them up are rough.

But with Brink out of the running, I really thing Reese should be the ROTY favorite.

And MJ was team Kobe and said he was better at basketball than Lebron.

Athletes can have dumb opinions.
