She needs to focus on Instagram for retirement before her 15 minutes are up. t's like she never learned how to play the game of basketball.

But got on teams, got on the Court because of hustle. She makes Dennis Rodman look like Larry Bird skill-wise.

What are rebounds? Just size, hops and energy.... Get the rebound, pass to those that can play the game....is her M.O.

This is perfect.

She plays like this and we’ll finally be able to settle the rebound debate.

Yet, she thinks she is better than Caitlyn Clark. This is what is wrong with Basketball, no one actually has the skills any longer.

I can’t believe people watch a professional league where the best five players in the world would lose by 50 to decent high school men’s teams.

It really is a terrible product.

There is no real debate if anyone pays attention. But simple stats should shed at least a little light on the subject. She was second in the league in defensive rebounds.

DREB per game

Aja Wilson - 9.8
Angel Reese - 8.1
Dearica Hamby - 7.7

YW 8.1 rebounds per game would have been 10th.



If we look further we see that for total rebounds per game


Angel Reese - 13.1
Aja Wilson - 11.9

If we use the Google machine we find that according to Stephen Noh of The Sporting News, 34 of Reese's 97 total offensive rebounds were from her own misses and that Reese played in 34 games. 34 rebounds in 34 games is 1 per game. So assuming that Aja Wilson had 0 self rebounds and we subtract Angel's she is still ahead 12.1 to 11.9.


I don't get why people feel the need to degrade one player because they like another (not you). Clark is very likely to be the best player in the league possibly as soon next season. And I never got the memo where rebounding your own miss was a bad thing (other than the miss, obviously).

If angel reese and I were on an island by ourselves, I would still say she is average at basketball. Clark has absolutely nothing to do with it


She could also probably see both sides of the island by herself

They play that 3x3 on a full court? Why? People definitely don't want to see a WNBA fast break/layup fest. Just adopt the Olympic format and have round robin tournaments. Less space, faster pace, short games = easier to watch.

This is a really good point. What an awful format.

Rebounds are the most overrated individual stat. As a team it can add up, but for an individual, most rebounds are gained simply by the nature of the position. For example, a center at minimum can grab 9 rebounds a game without doing anything special at all. And a great rebounding center might grab 12 a game.

So the difference between an average rebounder and a great rebounder is 3 rebounds a game.

That’s nice and all, but if a player’s best skill is rebounding and they can’t do much else, that player is not helping the team as much as it looks like they are.

She's the Dennis Rodman of women's hoops, except she shoots free throws better.

That shite will all play out with time. Both of them are good, one is ELITE. We'll start seeing the difference this year and the years to come.

Dennis Rodman was more than just a rebounder. He was also an elite defender. Also a scientist of rebounding.

Is Reese an elite defender?

The WNBA is riding the CC wave. However, CC better keep her mouth shut otherwise that clicking sound you hear are white people tuning her out

I don't know. Maybe that is the WNBA equivalent of an off the backboard pass for a dunk?

The internet has been blasting the hell out of Angel Reece lately.

She is garbage.

LSU fans will stupidly still stand behind her because her pathetic self played for them. I still don't understand that stupid allegiance bullcrap.
