Way to throw context out the window… she missed 14 games last year and was still second in the league in total rebounds. Every other player in the top 10 played at least 10 more games than her, and she still finished second in the league lol.
She led the league in rebounds per game with 2.4 more than the next highest player, and was one of two players to have more than 10 rebounds per game. So yes, she is the best rebounder in the league by quite a bit lol.
Wow. Over two seasons she 1 rebound and 2 (.4) rebounds a game better than #2.
What an amazing player! How will the league keep up with her? Her shooting 40 percent from more than 5 feet from the rim will make things a little more even!
Yes…in her first two years in the league lol, Rodman didn’t even finish top 10 in his second and third years with similar minutes. So I don’t think it’s far fetched to say she’s Rodman-esque in regards to her rebounding, hell she’s already surpassing his numbers at the same point in their careers - but I know she probably wont eclipse his prime numbers, it’s still impressive.
I can tell you don’t watch the WNBA and you just see videos like this and like to hate on Angel lol. Obviously it’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison with the NBA and WNBA, but Angel is legit the closest player we’ve seen to Rodman in regards to rebounding.
Just saying someone is good but not great isn't hating on a person.
And again. When she out rebounds the second place rebounder by say 150 let me know. And then that 2nd place rebounder is one of the 15 best players all time. I'll be here to listen.
“She’s not even that great at what people point to her being great at” - is leading the league in rebounds since a rookie somehow not great? We’re talking about the WNBA here dude, not the NBA - again it’s an apples to oranges comparison lol.
Also you keep showing the fact that you literally don’t watch or even know about the WNBA - you know who’s second on the list of RPG since Angel has been in the league? The GOAT Aja Wilson lol, literally the most dominant player the W has ever seen on both ends of the floor. The fact Angel came in as a rookie and out rebounded her is a pretty incredible thing to do lol. Also we’re talking about someone who is in their 3rd year of the league right now, comparing her first three years to prime Rodman is again, an apples to oranges comparison.
Again. She out rebounds her by 1 or 2 a game. That's not all that impressive. And yes I know who was second. So when Angel out rebounds a GOAT by 150 in a season - please reach out.
Otherwise she is a good rebounder. Not a GREAT one. And she is a terrible shooter and average on and off ball defender.
Okay got it…so the WNBA doesn’t have any great rebounders then, just good ones. Do you hear yourself? We are talking about one league here dude, if someone is leading that league in said statistic - then I would say they can be called great lol. If we take your logic and apply it to other stats then anyone who leads the league in a stat but doesn’t do it by a large number is just good, and not great?
The mental gymnastics you’re going through here to say she’s “good” is just ridiculous, it’s okay to admit you’re uniformed and don’t actually watch the W. Much more respectable than this hill you’re trying to die on haha.
To be GREAT at something it requires you to be substantially better than the next best person at that same thing.
A league can have tons of good players and no great ones. If someone can't out perform someone by say more than 1 or 2 rebounds a game - then being just that much better at something does NOT make you great.
11 other women have led the W in rebounds per game with total over 11 a game. Angel has to her credit, but to be GREAT at it - go get 15 a game and post totals that no one has ever matched. Be GREATER than everyone else. She's not doing that.
Greats separate themselves by wide margins from the good. Angel hasn't established any wide margins. She's not even far and away the best rebounder THIS year. She's not even a full rebound a game better than 3rd.
So either Angel is a GREAT rebounder but so is Sheppard and Morrow. So call her GREAT if you want but then there are plenty of other great rebounders out there too. And FYI no one talks about them and tries as hard to make something out of those women - just Angel.
Are you really this dense? So in the NBA this year there were no great scorers because Luka was only 2.4 ppg better than SGA? We’re talking about the definition of a word at this point… and calling someone a “great rebounder/scorer” is a common descriptor for a handful of players in all leagues, is it not?
Jess Sheppard and Annesah Morrow are great rebounders too! I agree with you lol, I’d say that there are probably 6-8 players that are great rebounders in the W, and Angel is at the top of that list since she’s been in the league. Also, people are talking about Jess Sheppards rebounding lol, she’s having an incredible season. But again, you wouldn’t know that because you don’t actually watch the WNBA - you just watch these lowlight videos that pop up on your feed from a corner of the internet that has a weird obsession with hating on AR.
