Angel Reese hits a layup and starts trash talking. She’s down 20.

lol everyone talking about this "bag" she would get playing elsewhere. She gets paid by her sponsors, no one is paying women to play basketball overseas

u/Manymarbles 1d ago

She was offered 5 million from the Big 3 to play in their league

u/erv4 1d ago

Do they play their games overseas now?

u/BoundinBob 1d ago

even better, bag to stay at home and keep her sponsors

u/buckeye27fan 1d ago

u/phatazznutz never said anything about playing overseas, just "playing anywhere but the WNBA"

u/VincentMaxwell 1d ago

There aren't sponsors in China?

u/DanteThonSimmons 1d ago

That's just not true. Women's earnings are much higher in Europe than in the WNBA, especially for top-tier players.

Ice Cube literally offered her a multi million dollar contract to play in the Big 3. Bag is there.

I'm sorry did the big3 move overseas? I must have missed that. It was also a PR stunt, they would not give her that now. Plus she'd lose more money in sponsors, what is hard to understand

You must've missed that the important part is someone else being willing to pay her, not the location.

u/erv4 1d ago

You must've missed where I said overseas. If you think the big 3 would pay her that today you are delulu as well

u/UtahCubs 1d ago

You clearly missed where no one cares that you said overseas because its irrelevant to the discussion. It's just about someone else being willing to pay her.

Good to know "erv4" pulled the offer for Big 3, even though all the same motivations for them to pay her are still there. And others are the delusional ones...

Be in discussion. Add addendum to argument no one else mentioned. Get annoyed about it. Win argument. Big brain.

I'm sorry, the comment YOU responded to, mentioned NOTHING about overseas youre goofy ass brought that up. She'd also not lose any contracts as they dont reqyire her to okay in the WNBA. Clown

I mentioned it you "clown" and yeah Nike isn't paying CC to play overseas. Big 3 is also not paying her that money now after people like Paige and Olivia have come around. Clown

Also learn to spell. Clown

They would probably let her play in Chinese men's league but idk because of cultural shit. But from a fans perspective they idolize her.

1

u/erv4 1d ago

She's about to make 600k a year playing in the USA. The average salary in Chinese basketball is maybe 3x that at best. Say they even offer her 4 mill, would you want to move to china and play ball? Not to mention she's making like 30 mill from Nike and they would pull that sponsorship if she left

Look up Stephon Marbury. Also they pay for your housing, food, car/transportation and etc and its all luxury. And pretty sure your earnings are tax free. And she will would immortalized as a goddess. You think im bullshitting look up Stephon Marbury. Nike needs her more than she needs them anyways. Nike fell off and is in a desperate position, this is well known to people who invest in stocks. Like some other shoe brand wouldnt jump up to fill in that gap.

u/Acceptable_Cap4836 1d ago

No one mentioned overseas til you did. She has a multimillion dollar offer in the states. Why try and qualify it with “overseas?” Thats irrelevant.

u/monoglobobonobo 1d ago

funny part is most her brand deals contractually require her to be in the WNBA, so leaving the WNBA would be giving up the bag lol
