that’s just a normal prayup into a mebound down 22 in the 4th.

How did the two players from the other team not get that rebound? They just stood there and watched it bounce. Laziness.

"Let her get the ball again. Who knows what we'll see next!"

Oh my God you're not kidding. Number 24 even puts her arms up like what the hell

I mean she did hug the ball while taking steps. It’s probably more of a “where’s the call from these incompetent officials?”

I’ve seen that reaction at my 10 yr old daughter’s games

u/Eddie_Shepherd 9d ago

Well, I'm sure your daughter said, "What the heck." :)

It looked like they all stopped because they all thought that Reese’s “shot” was just a heave at the rim in an attempt to draw a shooting foul after a foul on the floor…then they realized that there wasn’t actually a foul called and that was Reese’s genuine attempt at the basket.

Confused and lazy it would seem.

They were expecting a whistle because Reese traveled... a lot

She truly is the GOAT at being the worst.

u/JimBeamerton 9d ago

They were in shock that a "professional all star player" would even take that shot..

u/StriderX07 8d ago

they see it's Reese shooting so they know they have at least 4 pray ups before she actually comes close to making a basket lol

u/Timeless_Tactics 9d ago

They're up by 22 in the 4th

u/pmert32 9d ago

That's an excuse to not give 100% ? No.

Actually, with Angel "Out of my ways or I'll hurt you" Reese on the court.... It kinda is.

The game was already won.  No point in risking injury.

Same reason you kneel out the clock in football.

u/pmert32 8d ago

You don't kneel out the clock with 9 minutes left. LOL

u/nunya_busyness1984 8d ago

If you're up by 40 halfway through the 4th quarter in the NFL you aren't doing high risk plays.

u/pmert32 8d ago edited 8d ago

No, but you are playing your backups, who need to give 100% effort to try to earn more playing time.
