I was always thrown off by how often she would approach the basket with the anticipation of flopping to get a foul. It always led to her being awful at layups, never gets and-ones, and did I mention awful at layups? Also since she expects a foul every time she approaches the basket, she always has a whiny look on her face because she doesn’t get the call.

She has two faces: mean-mugging trying to start a fight, and whiny face. It’s offputting.

No matter the subject, people who complain about other people not liking something that they like always comes across as being whiny.

I don’t really know the first thing about Angel Reese. I don’t watch women’s basketball, therefore I don’t watch her or have reason to listen to her. My time is too valuable to waste on WBB.

Because she's a strong personality black woman who doesn't care to please the masses. She's overly criticized by racists who literally rooted for the other team instead of the Bayou Barbie Every knock on her is about the perception of her and not against something she's actually done.

She's a winner and won at LSU. Helped bring the brand back. She's dpoy and one of the best rebounders ever. You know, a real lunch pail type player. I see the word lazy written when describing her and it shows who you are. Lazy doesn't do all of the gritty shite shes excelling at.

Have you met Jayden Daniels?

Guy won a Heisman at LSU three years ago and has made basically the entire fanbase hate him.

What you do after you leave does actually matter. People don't need to blindly support you because you won big while at LSU or even because you won an award.

She, like Jayden, makes everything about her and has turned off a lot of fans. Her choice to live the influencer life as part of her persona.

She is a hell of a player, but just because she went to LSU and won a title does not mean people need to blindly support her.

First off, she has terrible basketball skills and a terrible basketball shot. She is physical and can rebound. Dennis Rodman much the same. Rebounder who couldn't shoot. She also is a very low iq individual, is racist, and acts like a thug. Those qualities far outweigh her rebounding ability. Some even say we dont like her because she is black... such bs. She has earned her dislike. She isn't a likable person.

People blindly support Joe Burrow even though he is a liberal boot licker.
People can look over that because of what he done at LSU.


Same with Angel Reese. I love her play. What she did at LSU and the brand.


I just don't get into not liking someone because of what they say or who they support off the court or field.

Her personality is fine. I believe this all goes back to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship game, when many people were offended by the ring-finger gesture. For some reason, they still haven’t let it go.

Since then, she has continued to be just as competitive as anyone else while avoiding offensive gestures. She seems to have learned from that experience, and I think it’s time for people to move on.

Jax would expect that first response from someone with that photo as his profile pics to bring up her race as a negative characterization and believe that is a troll of her character

fricking clown


Let me ask you this then… why don’t people hate Flau’jae Johnson? Why don’t they hate Seimone Augustus? Sylvia Fowles? Mikaylah Williams? Etc…

You people who throw out the race card to try to guilt trip people into liking Reese are fricking clowns… there’s really no other way to describe yall


I mean shite. You’re talking about a fanbase that ADORES Shaq. I coulda swore he was black. Same for countless other athletes that have come from LSU… so the same people that love and idolize them are racist because they think angel reese is a fricking moron??? I honestly don’t get how yall can be so ignorant - it’s mind blowing

I don’t want to go straight to the seemingly obvious reason (starts with an “r” and ends in “ism”). But can someone please help me understand what other reason there is for her to get so much hate? She should be celebrated for what she is doing and has done at LSU.
