I usually stay quiet and push through, but let’s get something straight: we’re not watching women’s basketball just because of one person. Players like me are part of it too. When Angel Reese says, “Everyone’s watching me,” she’s right, but for all the wrong reasons.
A day later, Angel breaks down, and it’s exactly what she signed up for. After facing harsh criticism, you’d think she’d see it coming. The analysts tear you apart if you give them a reason—and Angel did just that.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark is out here, unbothered, making history as the first WNBA rookie with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists in two games. The Fever are on a roll, but Angel’s drama? It’s as believable as a $3 bill. The media and fans see through it—no one’s buying it.
Stephen A. Smith didn’t hesitate to call Angel out for her antics. When she taunted Caitlyn Clark after the championship, she set herself up for this. Her emotional outbursts are the real reason people are watching. Stephen A. was right: it’s not about greatness—it’s insecurity.
Poor sportsmanship? Check. Cringeworthy behavior? Double check. Angel’s actions on the court are closer to a middle school dodgeball game than professional basketball.
Dan Patrick also weighed in, calling out her fouling strategy. How many ejections does it take to learn a lesson? Angel’s out here fouling like it’s going out of style. And then there’s the Kennedy Carter incident—Angel clapping after Carter shoved Clark. Seriously? Dan made it clear that supporting such bad behavior is not the move.
Now the narrative has shifted. Angel isn’t just the player who can’t control her emotions—she’s jealous of Caitlyn Clark. Instead of leveling up, she’s stuck in a cycle of fouls and frustration. Meanwhile, Clark’s success only highlights Angel’s downfall.
The media isn’t letting up, and the comparison between the two is painfully clear. Caitlyn is rising, and Angel is spiraling.
