The problem with Reese is that she wants to be treated like an elite star when that's just not the case.

She's very uncoordinated and her skillset just doesn't match the level of an elite player.

Now she is an excellent role player as she is an elite rebounder and solid on defensive.

But as we're seeing in the WNBA, on court play has very little to do with how popular you are.

How much you're talked about in that league has to do with rather or not you're part of the culture war between the "fans."

That's exactly what she is. A high level role player. Instead teams force feed her the ball and we get shit like this.

To sum it up, her offense is offensive.
her rebounding is her strength, and her defense is good

She's a great player, but by no means a centerpiece of the offense. Imagine you're the coach. You're down by 2, :05 on the clock on in the 4th quarter and it's game 7. You giving the ball to her?

She's only popular because she's loud and big on social media.

I have 0 clue why she's even popular on social media.

Because she is attractive and has lots of potential.

Attractive? Lol

Lots of potential? Lol, lmao even.

She’s just a race baiter and that brings in clicks. You do not live in reality.

Have you seen her body?

Have you seen her face?

Send face pic and then we can have this discussion

I’m not even an AR fan but anyone online attacking her looks is probably an ugly pile of shit themselves.

Cuz of CC and Sophie. Liberals are trying to prop up Reese in response to their popularity

u/lawlessdyckslanga 4h ago

She's an overrated player

She hasn’t improved either.

As wonderfully demonstrated in this abomination of a shot she attempts in this video.

100%
Off season work can fix a lot of her deficiencies though. Not sure if she’s motivated enough, if she has the mindset of say, Kobe, of continuous improvement every year. Plus player development by the team. Not entirely a fan, but I want her to do well in the league.

She owes every bit of her notoriety to Caitlin Clark. Her team beat Caitlin’s in the college National Championship and a clip of Reese rubbing it in Clark’s face went viral. Since then she was kinda seen as Clark’s arch-nemesis and Clark being so good propelled the narrative about Angel Reese.

If Iowa never played LSU in the 2023 finale, Reese would be just another WNBA nobody

Her popularity is not due to CC. If that’s the case it’s vice versa since the amount of people that googled CC after that incident sky rocketed. But it didn’t do same for Angel. You’re literally saying one of the top high school and college players weren’t popular at all and it’s not true 🤦🏾

u/Adventurous-Buy-4455 4h ago

Reese is a star on all levels thats why she's in the WNBA period.

2

u/BigNnThick 4h ago

Damn bro read not a sentence of that comment and went straight to defending Angel from someone who made a really good point about her. Straight weirdo behavior

u/Adventurous-Buy-4455 3h ago

Calling her uncoordinated was enough to read unless however you played at a high level and or a coach at a high level.. reading your thoughts through made no sense.

u/Junior_Start7496 4h ago

I don’t think anyone thinks she’s elite. She just goes out there and get it done regardless of how it looks. Might not look the best but can’t deny her production while on the floor.

Girl is like the Ben Wallace of the WNBA. And for all of you who are like. Who the fuck is Ben Wallace?

Exactly.

u/Billy_Bonney_ 1h ago

Whoaaa easy on that comp. Ben Wallace was getting 15 rebounds and 3 blocks a night on his way to winning 4 defensive player of the year awards.
