Love every moment of reality humbling her; she can’t even lay up on a single step gather,” claimed a third fan.Meanwhile, a fourth fan pointed out one major flaw in the post, noting, “Considering you had to post a non-playing basketball clip to say anything ‘good’ about her kind of proves our point.”However, one fan was more sympathetic towards Reese, saying, “It’s gotta be infuriating to hate ANY player. She may need work on her finishing, but she’s still a great player and fun to watch at times.”And lastly, a fan pointed out Reese’s stats, writing, “She’s shooting 30% from the field; her haters are celebrating after most of her games.”Reese finds herself in a difficult position in the WNBA. After her win over Caitlin Clark and the University of Iowa, Reese was crowned the best player on the LSU team.Naturally, Reese and Clark began being compared to each other constantly, putting them on an equal level to manufacture a rivalry.And when both of them entered the WNBA, this manufactured rivalry was only given more attention, with Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Chicago Sky being paired for multiple national games.Reese is a talented player who has gotten the better of Clark in the most high-pressure situation back in 2023, but that doesn’t mean they are on the same level.Angel Reese might not be as good as Caitlin Clark, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a talented player in her own right.Read more:Angel Reese’s brother Julian suffers major NBA setback after getting traded and released‘I didn’t sleep’ – Angel Reese breaks silence on viral missed layup vs Indiana FeverFever vs. Dream breaks WNBA record amid Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Sophie Cunningham buzz
