A lot of the players are jealous of Clark's attention - and the fact that Clark is a white straight female.

Reese is having a very good rookie season. Better than Clark's, IMO. I watch and root for both. I am entertained by their athletic abilities.




I don't actually watch the WNBA, but looking at stats Reese seems horrible and substantially worse than Clark.

Somehow as a 4 Reese is shooting like 36% even though almost all of her shots are within 3 feet of the basket. That's terrible even for the WNBA. She just bricks shots at the rim over and over and rebounds a bunch of her misses. She also somehow despite being large and playing in the paint almost exclusively has only two blocks the entire season. She has a very low skill level and is basically just large and athletic.

Clark had two blocks in her last game as a guard...

Absolutely. No one knew CC until the tournament.

And no one wants to acknowledge that

I've been watching CC here and there for a couple years now.

It's remarkable how many casual basketball fans suddently became experts of the sport so quickly.

She averaged 27.8 points, 8.6 assists and 7.1 rebounds per game, leading Division I in assists and finishing second in scoring. She set Big Ten single-season records in points, assists, 3-pointers and free throws, while tying her own conference record with five triple-doubles.

I don’t understand how someone can just be that clueless. Must just be trying to make a name for himself with “hot takes” even though they aren’t based in any facts whatsoever

What do you choose not play contrarian on?

Kinda crazy that it's contrarian to not have a strong negative opinion on a female basketball player that won lsu a national championship

Why do a buncha old men feel like they have to hate on a young female just because she is more successful than they will ever be.

Hating on angel Reese isn't gonna make your wife quit fricking other dudes.

Yes, what angel Reese said about the foul call makes absolutely no sense logically because it was 100% a foul.

So maybe she said it to generate headlines because that draws interest (as exemplified by this 100+ thread) which brings in advertising money.

"there's no such thing as bad publicity"

This sounds like what Reese is doing, but continue with your nonsensical babbling.

You should have had a strong negative opinion about her while she was on LSUs team. Just because someone plays for a school you like doesn’t mean you put blinders on and ignore trash.

This has nothing to do with why people hate Reese lol. What an idiotic statement.

And also, that sure sounds like what Reese is doing regarding Caitlin Clark. How ironic lol

Hate to break it to you again but Reese is not this forward thinking lol

She’s shooting 37% off her own misses where all her rebounds come from, she’s dog shite at basketball.

I am highly entertained by those who vehemently claim they don't watch the WNBA, then proceed to talk about it like they're an expert.
