Former LSU Women's Basketball star Angel Reese is being traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream for a 2027 first-round pick and 2028 first-round pick, it was announced Monday. Per ESPN:
quote:
Reese, 23, defended her WNBA rebounding crown last season, averaging 12.6 per game. She is the only player in WNBA history to average at least 12.0 rebounds per game in a season, which she did in 2024 and 2025.

Reese also led the league in double-doubles (23) last season while also pacing the Sky in scoring (14.7 points) and assists (3.7).

In Atlanta, she will team up with dynamic guards Allisha Gray, who finished fourth in MVP voting last year, and Rhyne Howard. The Dream finished last season with the WNBA's third-best record (30-14) before losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Fever.

Half of her rebounds come from her missed shots.

Can you even imagine if more players followed her lead and would rebound their very own shots with as much enthusiasm as Reece?

Atlanta must have had a missed layup quota that needed to be filled.

I do believe a "mebound" should be separated from the "rebound" stat.

F all you racist arse Angel Reese haters, I've never seen a champion hated so much, a champion that brought the first basketball championship to the university, men or women. All because she whipped that white girl arse to get it, y'all hated that true LSU Tiger because she's black and taunted that white after we won the game. I always said LSU have one of the worst fan bases in college sports and you racist bastards just keep on proving it.

Looking at the posts, it seems you are the only one mentioning race. If someone referred to Angel as "That Black Girl", I would be the first to call it out as racist. You however, have opened up yourself to being labeled a racist by identifying a young lady as " that white girl". Remember life is a two way street.
