Chicago Sky Pregame: Angel Reese (8/28/24)

[@RickHuber-ro3rd]

She is always focused on her game and practices hard and works hard during pregame working her offense and defense and her shots from everywhere and her free throws. Also rebounds and that is why she leads all the WNBA in rebounds. And one of the best, beautiful new faces of the WNBA 1 that was much needed bringing new fans to games larger crowds and more new viewers and more interested fans to the WNBA. And it's only going to get better. I'm a 72 year old Caucasian male who lives in a nursing home in Maryland Heights Missouri and originally from St Louis Missouri where I grew up and a big Angel Reese fan . I followed her since high school when I read about her in Sports Illustrated on the inside cover and myself and 3 friends traveled to Baltimore and found St Francis Academy a small Catholic high school across the street from a prison. We found the Athletic director's office and was able to get 4 tickets to the game a packed gym standing room only and Angel played another outstanding game and we found out what all the hype and writing about her she was all of that and more. A 5 star recruit number 2 forward in basketball and her 1st 2 years she played volleyball as an outside hitter and lead them to 2 state championship's and played all 4 years of the basketball in high school and then went to Maryland because she was frightened to be away from Baltimore and friends and family and she won all types of awards in the Big Ten and she was a 2nd team all American and then transferred to LSU to play basketball for Kim Mulkey and possibly win a National Championship which they did her junior year and was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the game and then she asked me to stay around for the celebration and until she got dressed and she asked her Coach and Athletic Director if I could come with her to eat at 1 of the best barbecue places in Dallas Texas and I did and I was staying at the same hotel as LSU fans and team on the same floor and I stayed in the Lobby with Angel and we talked about basketball and listened to her talk about herself and then she asked questions about me until 6:00 am in the morning and then I walked her to her room door told her Goodnight and we exchanged cellphone numbers and I flew back to the nursing home and rehab center in Maryland Heights Missouri and then I followed her during the WNBA draft where she was selected as the 7th pick in the 1st round of the WNBA draft and that was because the Sky was able to draft Kamila Cardozo with the number 3 pick in the 1st round of the WNBA draft a perfect fit for both of them and with the perfect Coach Theresa Witherspoon who has been a winner at every level of the game and can teach both of them more of the game and the the team. Angel wants wins and take the Sky to the playoffs and go as far as they can and she will be happy with that her rookie season 😊

@RickHuber-ro3rd what a wonderful post! I am also a Reese fan and truly appreciate you sharing your wonderful experience. Reese is a phenomenal player and is taking the league to new heights. I know she will continue to do great things and will not stop until she wins a championship.

[@danmccaulley2578]

She can't even make layups

[@Robi-kc3xg]

MASK! I haven’t stop wearing a mask since 2020. I feel sorry for Chicago Sky players getting ill.

[@DarylBrown-j7m]

She so 😍 buertiful she plays hard ❤much love

[@montanatothedeathofme184]

Her job is rebounding that’s it no more so stop putting pressure on her bc she doing her part

[@duncan3587]

They ass bout to be out the playoff position now Atlanta climbing in. Twitherspoon don't know how to place Cardoso in the right position Cardoso supposed to been in that paint all night not running around at the top of the perimeter setting picks that should be angel Reese setting the picks she's smaller than Cardoso. Witherspoon doesn't know how to use Cardoso

[@ranilcurry615]

Kennedy gets a lot of buckets on her picks. It's a game Chicago should have won. Angel had 6 Turnovers and missed alot of wild shot attempts

[@adriancavin1568]

​@ranilcurry615 also got fouled a lot with no calls I guess you all don't see that part

I agree. Send her to Vegas! We are undersized

Damn are they all sick?

The same sick Noah Lyle’s caught when he lost, then went out to the after party without a mask🤫

[@CaliBayNothinButAGTHANG]

Where were you during that post interview ?

[@danmccaulley2578]

My question for Angel. Will you, at some point in your career, actually learn how to make the easy layups?

[@Kevbarr-b9m]

somebody must have covid

[@daisymae3258]

The masks😂

[@ypark2877]

Why are they allowing them to possibly infect others? Unbelievable

[@jazzylady7351]

Everyone's wearing a mask and no where did it say that anyone had Covid.

[@kwootamuckbear9294]

Everyone got the figure out because the so-called coach don’t have any plays to draw up…😮

[@bipolarpunt5721]

So dont protect the team your playing?

[@joannberry7370]

They all must of been sick because they played like crap, 3 games in a row they gave away. Cardoso please request a trade so you can be coached. I like how Angel is playing but what the world happened against the mystics. The whole team was garbage

[@duncan3587]

She can't request a trade she's under a 4 year contract she just signed do you know anything about the game or you just talking

[@pgppe9488]

What do you like about Angel’s offensive game? What are they wearing masks?

[@belindafoster-eb5sb]

[@sheryljones2578]

Many on the team are sick, as reported earlier.

[@KeeganVera]

Masks don't work, especially these.

[@leelewis5544]

I think we need you to be more of an athlete and less of a businesswoman. Basketball is the cornerstone of her fame. Being better at your craft will bring the success off the court. It can’t be the other way around baby girl. All those so called mentors she claims to have should be educating her on this stuff. 🧐

Angel belongs in Chicago, City of Thugs

Why say something negative about a person, especially when it's not true. Chicago is a Beautiful city.

Sky would have a better chance of winning with reese on the bench. She is losing games for the team. She rebounds, but without ability to score that stat is useless. She doesn't pass the ball, she tries to be a hero, but it isn't working, it hurts the team. She isn't athletic. What does she bring to the table except for rebounds man

[@latesia5408]

Ok sit Angel on the bench and watch them get blown out. She helps them a lot defensively and she can score but the guards do not put her in great position to score and then Wonder why she can’t score w 3 ppl on her. You’re clearly just anti Angel and don’t actually watch games because stats (including advanced ones) show that Sky play better w Angel on the court
