Dana Evans: Chicago Sky Interview (9/20/24)

[@BrianLewis-ls5pt]

I think t spoon gave her more grace than she deserved. For her to say this she's throwing shade. I think jealousy was a problem. She didn't pass to angel and kamilla film doesn't lie. And how her agent felt confident to say what he said

[@KElleJonesNetwork]

I agree. Her tone and responses in these interviews speaks volumes, and I believe is reflective of her energy both on the court and perhaps in the locker room.

[@lilacbp3908]

Dana is not a point guard, that is her whole problem. She’s a shooting guard that doesn’t have the court vision of a point guard. Chennedy however is a shooting guard that has better court vison, that’s literally why chen earned her starting spot. Dana is not a bad player at all, she just needs to be on a team where what she does best is the only thing she does, rather than trying to change her game and do what she’s not really good at.

[@jimjohnson5118]

It's really unfortunate that Izzy was put in that post game with Dana. It felt like Izzy was being brought down the rabbit hole. Izzy had a great season and is a great fit for the Sky. I really hope Izzy gets to stay on the Sky. She plays well with Reese and Cardoso. With that said, watch this video shows a lot. Evans is not and has been a good fit for THIS SKY TEAM. Early in the season It really looked like Evans and Mabrey didn't want to be there. If the Sky would've traded Mabrey and benched Evans then put Carter and Allen in Earlier in the season they probably would've been three games up.

[@KElleJonesNetwork]

I agree!

[@constancebeckham8437]

Dana is toxic to the locker room I hope she’s gone next season! I think she think she’s better than she is! Those stats are atrocious

[@superfly1200]

One thing about Leo’s they never have accountability. And everyone is always the problem. She needs to look in the mirror. Shading your coach, teammates and fans is selfish !!!

[@AnthonyLockhart-w7e]

[@KElleJonesNetwork]

Incredibly selfish. She didn’t just pick up this tone and attitude overnight, so you can bet she was bringing this energy into the team’s environment.

[@tomikajones5844]

She's mad Chennedy took her place. AR5 gets more hate than anyone, and she balled out every game. Bye Dana !!

[@twilarussell183]

​@LoriMac17 Why did you come on a Sky posts to spread negativity. How is the team a dirty team? Because it is composed mostly of black/ African-American females, I am confused by your statement. And in what aspect are they too good for the Sky because there were many games where the bench did not add to the teams' points or have any defensive impact! You are only here to add negativity and confusion. It is evident that you are not a Sky fan because you are calling the team dirty!!! You are the type of person that they are referring to!!!

I love Dana gonna miss her on the Sky, she just didn’t fit with the new era of the Sky 💯

100% agree because I love Dana but she played terribly this season.

[@oherewego3461]

Girl got mad at the rookies and tried to ice them out when in reality Chennedy came off the bench and took her spot bc she was underperforming! Get mad at yourself! Stop blaming fans and the universe!

This is what is wrong if you can’t say anything nice don’t at all . The whole coaching changed and they focused on a few players and not the team . Hope she finds a team that she fits and is valued

[@mustafamujahid1929]

STUPID... DANA had the best 3pt %, made 46 out of 48 free throws - 95.8 % (she would have been #1 in the league but She needed 2 more attempts to qualify) and played better defense than allen! The Fake-a$$ coach obviously had non-basketball issues with DANA like she/he did with mabrey! Speak FACTS or STHU!

Dana has negative energy. Both Izzy and Dana didn't accept Angel, Kamilla and Chennedy as starters and played selfish basketball.

[@adriancavin1568]

When it comes to Izzy not liking Angel, Kamilla and Chennedy that's a lie. Izzy always passed or played good with those three so that narrative about her not liking them is BS.

Izzy played well with them sometimes Izzy just second guessed her shots and that's when she would throw turn overs other than that Izzy was good. Dana and Diamond are the ones that screwed up all the time

Wishing Dana all the best this offseason.

[@alexstuart4977]

Based on espn stats this woman averaged 9pts last season, started one. Her stats are basically the same this year. Maybe she has a couple good games where she shows up but she didnt start last season or the season before, she needs to look at herself.. Her game is just that her game, hopefully she finds a good home but she'll still come off the bench averaging 7pts

[@ITOROUWEMIKPE]

Dana need to go... Your a terrible point guard.. Once we get a real point guard like Olivia Miles or Poa Poa that know how to facilitate and pass to Cardoso and Reese... And a perimeter defender like Cindy Citron... The sky will be in the finals..

[@irinhobson9236]

[@FlvckoAnt]

Dana is a SG, a damn good one at that. She was playing PG out of necessity. Passing is something she can learn

[@troyhall4039]

Dana is more of a shooting guard than point guard

[@thattalenttho]

I don't think that Dana can't pass. She just seemed to second guess herself. Her scoring was needed and she just needed to level out when to take it and when to pass. Love❤Dana

[@nikkijones2745]

She let the rookies throw her off her game instead of acting like a veteran. Her shooting was terrible but she plays defense at least

It's going to be different when you only have a few thousand fans and most of them probably not on social media to then go to hundreds of thousands. Especially with the very popular rookies that came in and the generation always on social media.

[@derricksanders6440]

Know that those were the Bandwagon Fans doing that. Not the diehard fans that have been around since 1997 and 2007 for the Sky... We will basketball critique our players, that's just Chicago and any major city's team, but it ends at the basketball critiques. We are cheering and clapping beyond that. You are still a Chicago Fan Favorite especially for your defense, catch and shoots and floater down the lane.

[@ashleynmoore12]

Dana definitely improved her shooting through out the season. Best of luck to her.

You need to work on everything to be honest you supposed to be a 3-pointer I am missing you making that many threes what angle Reese got hurt you supposed to be leaving again what we lost I don't think she gained nothing we supposed to be in the playoffs I told you we were going to make it to the playoffs to be honest with play Angel Reese

[@souljrman]

Pray that next season you make starting line up along with CC, Angel, Elizabeth, & Kamilla

[@IsaacBenton-y4y]

This is the results when you only focus on 1 or 2 players instead of the team. Sky went downhill after making Reese the center of attention most of the season. Rebounds didn't translate to winning

[@santilu31]

This is such a false statement. Coaches always talk about how important second chance points are. Rebounds is what gives you those second chance points. The only way that works is if players score after those second chance points. That was a big issue for the Sky. Look at the FGP and 3PP for the Sky and it will show you that was the problem.

[@alexstuart4977]

You all read in to this thing wrong.. She is one player.. There are 4 other players that contribute to the team on the court.. How is it Reese's fault for doing what she does but other players not doing their part.. This woman average 7 pts, every other category is less than 2.. She's great at the free throw line though.. AR is not efficient but you cant blame a person for another person's performance..

[@jboneau]

i don't like the new sky identity. i miss the old sky identity when they were winning and not propping up fake mcdouble campaigns.

[@twilarussell183]

You do realize that double-doubles add to winning, and it does not take away from the team's stats! I seriously doubt that you are a Sky fan because your comment makes no sense! You all never take a break from negativity and trying to cause confusion!!! Who cares if you don't like the new Sky identity (Angel Reese because that's really what you want to state). It is here to stay, and so are Angel, Kamilla, Chennedy, and Coach TSpoon!!! They had a whole new team from players to coaching staff to GMs. The team that you knew is gone and isn't coming back. But again, I highly doubt that you are a real Chicago Sky fan because of your comment because nowhere in the land of basketball is a double-double fake! You tried it and failed!

[@jboneau]

@@twilarussell183 the sky only won 9 out of the 26 where angel had a double double. that's a 34.6% winning percentage. what are you talking about? did you even try to verify your claim before commenting? the mcdouble campaign killed the team.

We said a lot about CC fans but I'm realize fans of AR and some KC fans are just as bad.

Definitely are not!

[@davidmathewson1088]

Angel Reese's teammates and Sky fans are intimidated and bullied by the "collective" to support Reese and the Sky in every circumstance, right or wrong. It is like when the Dems/liberals were supporting Biden at all costs to the country. The collective has adopted Reese as someone bigger than the sport of basketball. They look at Reese as a cultural/social icon who can help elevate the black race. You are not to question any action by Reese. They view Reese a huge net positive to her people, you must sweep under the rug and spin as a positive anything negative that she says or does. If you don't, then you are part of the problem and you shall be stamped out or demonized.
