Man I know I’ll get blasted by the WNBA white knights, but her rebounding isn’t even that impressive. I’ve never understood the glazing that happens as a result… it’s not like it takes a ton of athleticism and coordination to grab a basketball, especially considering she’s usually closer to the rim than most everyone else

Outlier game that got her FG% over 43% for the season Absolutely pathetic when most of her shots are in the paint, even more pathetic when most of those are in the restricted area. CC has a better percentage

You never played basketball, I take it?

Yes I have. It takes absolutely MINIMAL skills to grab a rebound.



But you know this already

Anyone with this take has never played basketball and doesn't know anything about the game.

Aren’t those type games very rare for her?

It was also posted to the board when it happened.

Angel's jump shot looks like she's never played ball too

Or they played with males.

I’ve watched a good bit of clips here the last 20 minutes and a ton of her rebounds are just scramble drills after the ball bounces away from multiple females failing to grab it and looking genuinely retarded doing it.

When you add her style and shooting percentage and inexplicably bad turnovers, what are we supposed to think about her game?

Please tell us.

She statistically does it better than anyone in the history of the WNBA. Even if you question the league itself, that's still impressive. There have been over 1000 players and she is the best at one of the statistics.

It takes anticipation over everyone else on the court. It doesn't mean she is the best athlete, but to know where the ball is going to go as soon as it is shot is important.

Except she is not. There are 12 players in the league 6'6" or taller. Including a player on her own team.

Again, simply ignoring the fact. Of course, you may just be too retarded to distinguish the difference.

So she's 13th tallest? Pretty sure that would qualify her to be closer than most. Couple that with her basically living in the restricted area, and I really don't see you issue wit that statement.

I just don’t know if it does in the WNBA.

Man go watch long rebounding clips of hers. Especially offensive.

I don’t know how one can come away thinking they just witnessed talent.

No. There a bunch of 6'5 girls as well. She is listed as 6'4"

But maybe I misread what was meant.

Is the statement meant to indicate that she is positioning herself better than the other potential rebounders? So it's praising her ability to smartly position herself for rebounds?
