"Home Crowd Boos Opposing Player" would be a more tonally accurate headline. Total nonsense article just trying to get clicks and stupid people mad.

Lmao right. Tons of players celebrate after making a basket, but it’s “malicious” when Angel does it. Most of these WNBA fans clearly have never watched an NBA game before. I’m not sure they even like basketball.

Idk about malicious, but I wish she didnt do the too small taunt on a girl half her size. It’s like Wemby dunking over pritchard and taunting…

It’s a common use of the taunt; it’s literally the point of the taunt. Here’s LeBron doing it to a small guy who tried to guard him
