True. But prior to his losing his mind he was closer to being just an uber-complainer a la Rasheed

You can see the national media biased narrative already. Angel taking heat on social media for jawing with the aTm player. When Angel does it she gets called thug, classless etc. when Caitlin Clark does the same thing, people say she’s a competitor and hates to lose. Wtf is wrong with this picture?!?

Play that oppressed victim card a little harder

All trash talking is trashy. But when Angel Reese did it to the Iowa girl it was extremely personal and mean-spirited. It was similar to when that Seattle defensive back, Sherman(?) did it to Crabtree(?). He got shite for it because it was a particularly mean-spirited episode.

Both Sherman and Reese got called out because they were dicks, not because they were black.

Must suck to always see things through the prism of racism. SMDH Don’t you misfits have anything else in y’all’s empty heads?

Cool.

Angel Reese will be a two time first team All American. Not too shabby.

absolutely. Chasing her around the court after the game was over pointing at your ring finger makes you look like a dick. So she got called out for being a dick. So now she has an earned reputation for being a dick. So now when she does something remotely dickish the reaction is “there goes Angel Reese being a dick again”. It’s not racial at all.

Maybe Lance Stephenson too. But he might be the most aggravating one. Lol

didn’t say Angel Reese was a bad player I said Clark is way better. If I were offered a straight up trade Reese for Clark I take it 10/10 times. If they were on the same team we’d be unstoppable.

Is this a troll? Clark is elite at getting in players' heads. She's a top tier shite talker. People didn't like when Angel did it because Clark was the media darling, but even Clark defended it and said it's part of the game. Y'all are soft.
