I used to point this out when she was at LSU, Angel doesn’t get the ball above her head to shoot. She flips shot from shoulder height. She got shots blocked in college from smaller girls, and now she is getting about 2 - 4 shots a game blocked. When she does get it off without being blocked, she has no touch because she’s just slinging it at the goal from shoulder height. Having said that, she’s relentless going after rebounds and she’s in better shape than the other big girls and she’s had some big 4th quarters in the WNBA by having more energy and getting the rebounds and putbacks.


Very good assessment.

I honestly wonder if people on University of Iowa boards put on for Angel Reese the way most of ya'll put on for Caitlin Clark. It's like y'all can't get enough of her in your mouth. Instead of appreciating the player most responsible for that championship trophy you have and a young lady who puts on for LSU every chance she gets, most of y'all, for some strange reason, not only ride for Clark, but openly denigrate the player who helped put LSU women's basketball back on the map. Such a strange sickness. The young lady was just ranked #2 in an unscientific poll by ESPN...instead of rooting for the former LSU player, y'all take swings at her while rushing to Clark's defense. That's so damn strange!

Two things...first, disliking Reese and openly fellating Clark are NOT the same thing. You can dislike one without big upping the other.

Second...I'm going to assume the same "classless" behavior you speak of is the same behavior you laud in Joe Burrow. But I'm sure you'll claim there's a "difference". On that we will probably agree...there certainly is a difference.

Reese is ghetto trash and everything that is wrong with this country. No parent with a brain wants their kids to look up to her as a role model.

This is more like it. I actually respect this take more than the other "she's classless" take. This poster didn't bother to hide his racism. That's actually refreshing. He chose not to gaslight with esoteric terms like "classless". Sure the take is complacently stupid and repugnant in a society that should embrace different cultures, but at least he didn't hide his overt racism behind coded words. Good on you, mate!

”Ghetto” isn’t limited to one race buddy. It’s a culture that’s eating this country alive and there’s plenty of other races that are involved and promoting that culture.

Pretty sure Reese is constantly talking about being black & from the street/ghetto of Baltimore so whats “Racist” about someone else saying it?

Go look at her numbers.


Here's one through June 2.

Clark has struggled against the WNBA's physicality and it shows in her shooting percentages and giveaways. Her 56 turnovers lead the league by far, with 25 (!) more than the next closest player.


So she probably helps lose more close games from her turnovers than win close games with her shooting, don't you think?

Seems as though they penalize you if you are on a bad team and likewise reward you if your team is winning. That really doesn't have a whole lot to do with individual ability. Pete never played for a winning pro team but it didn't stop his being the greatest of the 70's.

Okay Mr. know it all. When your teammate commits an illegal non basketball play that had the potential to harm another player and you jump up off the bench and start clapping and applauding, if not classless what words would you use? Just curious.

I'm happy to post my response to your query the following way...

1. When Kim Mulkey decided not to give words of solidarity and encouragement for a young American lady who played for her, won her a national championship, and was imprisoned under the brutal regime of a dictator, did you find that classless?

2. When Ed O won a national championship and like 5 minutes later was pictured in a pool with some random chick that wasn't his wife, did you start cheering on Dabo Swinney because Ed O was classless?

3. When the greatest coach ever was here banging the former governor's wife and the OC was banging co-eds (all ALLEGEDLY), did you call them out for being classless and start cheering for other schools?

4. This last question is purely rhetorical...is the person you're supporting for leader of the free world a convicted felon, raw dogged a porn star and before he did it, told her that she reminds him so much of his daughter, faked a university to steal from those people who looked up to him, called military veterans "losers"...is that all considered classless or not?

My point is if you expect more class out of a 20 year old black woman power forward on your school's basketball team than you expect out of those adults I'm assuming you don't have a problem with...then you're not really concerned about "class". It's something else. Did I answer your question?

Who the frick came up with these stupid metrics? They all sound made up and subjective.

Let me guess, they’re also using the completely subjective “eye test” bullshite?
That term needs to die in a fire and never return. Our eyes deceive us quite often. “Eye test” is just another term for biased opinions and political bullshite.

Angel Reese is exactly what this board hates about Tennessee baseball. I don’t particularly care about women’s basketball and that includes Caitlyn Clark, but she can be very fun to watch at times, which can’t be said about the rest of the WNBA imo.

The only reason anyone here likes Angel Reese is because she played for LSU, and that’s fine, we should support former LSU players. But if she played on any other team she would be despised on this board. Its ok to admit that too.
