Draymond Reese

[@fracturedsolace145]

Your momma

[@sevenfights]

There is no consistency with the calls. It's confusing to watch.

[@chrissinclair4442]

Yes, but hopefully this was the beginning of consistency.

[@jeanfourcade]

If you want WNBA to turn into mud wrestling, keep cheering for Angel Reese.

[@PxRx85]

"this ain't the 80s, man" "what does that mean?" Point TJ

[@4CAST4Life]

🤣 idk what Chris point in the show posed 2B he serves no purpose

[@Dontplaygranny33]

How is angel playing draymond y’all slow Af the player that chocked her is draymond green

[@WilkenWilkins]

The thumbnail of Angel and Rich both doing the shrug is killing me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@loisperez1722]

WNBA arenas hold different capacities. Chicago Sky and Fever have only played at 3 of the same arenas….. First was DALLAS ARENA: Fever attendance 6,251, Sky 6,251. (Both sold out)…. INDIANA ARENA: Dream attendance 13,028, Liberty 17,274, Sparks 16,013, Storm 15,022 and Sky 17,274. (Sold out vs Liberty, Sun, and SKY)…… Third NEW YORK ARENA: Fever attendance 17,735 (Saturday night), and 17,401 (couple weeks later Sunday night), SKY 12,049 (Thursday), Storm 9,381 (Monday), Mercury 9,182 (Wednesday) and Mystics 9,878 (Friday)….. So Fever was drew the most in NY but they were weekend nights 17,000 and Sky drew 12,000 on weekday (more than the other teams). So no doubt CC draws in more, BUT Angel ain’t no slouch!!…. If someone offers you $17,000, $12,000 and $9,000. Do you say, “Give me the $17,000. You can keep the $12,000 and the $9,000”? Noooo. You say, “Thank you for $38,000!!!!! And I appreciate ALL OF YOU!!”…… That’s all Angel and the other players and their fans want!!!

[@agendaxpushers1322]

To compare Angel Reese to Draymond Green is utter bs and you know it

[@buddhafortune6166]

Saying CC is the fast of league is utter bs 😂

[@skeeter1858]

Angel Reese makes for the perfect ghetto villain the wnba needs and caitlin clark for the perfect white, honorable, and humble savior of the wnba

[@aguynamedmixx]

The WNBA just rescinded those two technical fouls. So it renders this debate irrelevant. The league must have realized how ridiculous those calls were.

[@emoneyizhereson]

Only the 2nd tech.

[@Velly2g]

she said "this is bullshit" about the call

[@ChitownsDRose]

Comment of the video goes to Rich: She’ll[Angel] be in a commercial with Draymond Green by Labor Day😂

[@sarahphillips8987]

No the short answer is no. It doubles down on the embarrassment from them NOT immediately tossing Carter on Saturday. Reese popping off at the ref, one tech, sure. This was a makeup ejection for Saturday’s miss.

[@tonyadamski7877]

You forget Magic and Larry respected each other

[@jonathanwest3809]

Sheed Wallace got ejected for giving the ref dirty looks....I think this is fair

[@JDRaue-ii4rm]

Reese a star??? 10 points a game n 9 rebounds a game doesn't scream star power.

[@Johenz]

She’s a rookie relax lol😊

[@sarahphillips8987]

She’s only leading the league in rebounding as a rookie.

[@bdubs532]

That's it?? ​@@sarahphillips8987

[@bdubs532]

[@pycellesbeard9728]

She also has the best stache of all WNBA rookies.

[@Low-hw4ek]

They forced the villain on her cause they love CC so much. But I think Angel is a superstar.

[@boondoggle4820]

You Angel Reese haters and probably CC Stans are pathetic. Angel is a more effective so far as a rookie than Caitlin.

[@kesethurman353]

It’s not even close they don’t know ball just they just like logo 3s

[@OmahaSand]

Reese is not the NCAA all time points leader .. and isn't goingto be the all time/points leader in the WNBA either. Clark is the NCAA all time points leader and broke a 54 year old record to do so. Clark has had a 30 point game this year .. Reese not even close. Reese misses alot of sub 10 foot shots .. she sucks hard... 35 percent shooting average and she's under the boards for most of them. Reese is only famous for her non basketball antics.... 10 pts/game players like Reese are what keeps the WNBA poor, disgusted, and un-interesting.

[@cynthiasellers5778]

@@OmahaSand That was in college. Clark did not win a championship. Reese did.

[@kesethurman353]

@@OmahaSand you do know CC only avr 15 points a game right????

[@kesethurman353]

@@OmahaSand and don’t forget to mention Reese 9 rebounds a game and her breaking records for offensive rebounds.. nobody never said Reese was the player but overall she is playing better as a rookie. CC has not live up to the hype at all and that is facts

[@cruzinthruspace]

Wait you mean there's other women who play in the WNBA besides Caitlin Clark ? No wayyyyyyyy

[@Hanover_Fist]

Your talkin'.....thats good for the brand.

[@michaelshackelford9624]

He attitude is why she isn't marketable like Caitlin

[@jeanfourcade]

Angel's a sly girl: she understands that the "villain" role will get her more SM attention, hence more money, than the game of basketball will. She only hasn't figured out that her posturing draws yet much more attention towards Caitlin Clark than towards herself. Which Nike has perfectly figured out, btw.

[@reneehicks7656]

No it’s not. It’s literally skin color. They needed to market someone who would appeal to the mass population. It’s business.

[@snowhawk04]

Nobody is tuning in to watch Angel Reese throw up bricks 2 feet from the bucket and go 3/13 on layups.

[@buddhafortune6166]

🧢 ur a hater 😂 meanwhile CC has the biggest number of turnovers 😂 and bricking 3’s . We watch Angel

[@kikobubblegum6045]

But you take time out of your busy day to post a comment under a video about her. 🤔 i dont understand

[@snowhawk04]

@@kikobubblegum6045 did you really respond a week after the video? I didn't say nobody cared about women's basketball. I said nobody was tuning in to watch bricks from 2 ft. When AR develops a post-game (RIP offensive boards), I'll tune in to watch for her. Until then, we should be talking about and tuning in for A'ja, Stewie, even Arike.

[@kikobubblegum6045]

@@snowhawk04 I did. Video just showed up in my feed. But great job adding context after the fact🙄

[@alexshirley6096]

No one will remember Angel Reese 10 years from now if she’s as revolutionary as she thinks she is why was she picked 7th in the draft she will simply be someone who had 15 minutes of fame

[@cynthiasellers5778]

I beg to differ

[@JohnDoe-qu7gm]

How is it controversial? Did the official come out and say what she said? You got T’d for arguing, end of story. Even her Coach said needs restraint

[@manman3792]

The coach DID NOT say that. Stop the lies racist. The coach actually said she asked the ref why Angel reese received the tech and never got a response. It was the white teamate that said that. And her perspective don’t count

[@Whatever-cz3gl]

Wasn't she was kicked out after she had fouled out?

[@Cherylcarmouche]

YES SHE IS I ONLY GO TO SEE REESE ❤❤❤

[@OmahaSand]

What's Controversial? Reece has never been the model of sportsmanship. A Ref jacked her up for just another episode of her unsportsmanlike behavior. Who wasn't expecting this?

[@cynthiasellers5778]

Clark has a lot of techs also.

[@grr705]

Cheap cheap ejection and pointless! 1st T questional 2nd T rediculous!!! Show boat all about him REF!

[@Dontplaygranny33]

Lonzo ball paying her fine I love it

[@TomRivas-t2n]

I’m a Clark fan and new wnba watcher lol I like Reese too she beautiful ain’t gonna lie and if she wanna be this bad chick on the court I’d say the wnba has their superwoman if you will now let’s give them there joker or Harley to be exact what the wnba should learn is it’s nice to see a villain sometimes 💯🔥🔥🔥 makes the sport better just don’t be soft about it

[@GG-mb9rr]

Rich is under the mistaken impression that rookies are supposed to shut up and take it. His takes on the CC22 situation are terrible. He’s implying she deserved a cheap shot from behind from a dirty player. He’s done that several times. He’s losing me as a fan if this stupidity continues.

[@cwhipp9805]

Angel reese has made ut her mission to gain attention througb drama bc she cant get it with her basketball skills

[@MissRebels]

Lie her stats are better than some vets, she broke rookies record, after only 10 games.

[@aem870]

Angel’s team was neck and neck with a top team until she got ejected. They had tied from a deficit. The refs decision influenced the game. She had a double double.

[@Low-hw4ek]

You white guys are losing it for CC 😂😂😂 true colors always revealed when talking about Angel vs CC I love it

[@legman1476]

I am very close to backing out of the WNBA door I literally just walked through. All of this plays like a reality show on Bravo. When "Real Housewives Of Wherever" is on at our house that means the wife wants some checked-out mindless alone time. I'm still unable to resolve my feelings on a breakaway steal in a WNBA game where the ball is not dunked because it can't be dunked. Nice lay-up. Whoo-hoo.

[@evanrussell64]

It would be good if She's ejected from the league~

[@michaelengstrom4955]

TJ get your facts straight !!! There was only 2:31 seconds left in the game !!!! Not half way through the game, if you say something wrong to the REF, you can get T'd up..... Wake up bro

[@THuff808]

Seems like it was contrived and staged to take heat off the bad Clark calls and to help talk up Angel Reese.( cause no one is actually talking Angel)

[@kikobubblegum6045]

But you are. You just did…alongside all of the other haters out there. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I keep seeing the same thing. Ppl saying they dont care about AR but are literally in the comment section of a video about her. Even if it’s hate. Ppl are weird…And by ppl i mean you. You are weird😑

[@caryanderson6747]

Reese is always going to be jealous!! And she is acting out because she has no discipline! No one knows how disrespectful she was in the whole game before the ref had enough! So stop sticking up for a spoiled brat! These childlike episodes will be the downfall of a subpar league that has been brought to light by CC.

[@mlouise1828]

Oh no please, fans of Clark dont want Reese with her.😬

[@legman1476]

CJ, people PAY to see a game, NOT whiny jealous tantrum playground crap.

[@klohr311]

Guys respect each other even when a one player is better or equal. Woman do not respect each other. Rich should ask his wife how many bestie(ride or die)does she have. How many female have bunch of friends that ride and die for. Guaranteed it’s not more than 2. Guys will have mores dudes that will ride and die than woman.

[@SaunKrystian]

Everybody’s ignoring wyt supremacy

[@skeeter1858]

It's a good thing. Maybe they can learn some manners, humility, respect, and grace.

[@proto-geek248]

As if anyone gives really gives a $#!+ Any attempt to push this league is pathetic. The sooner it dissolves completely, the better.

[@Trashpanda887y]

Nobody cares if she played all game or gets thrown out. If she wasn’t the villain to Clark she wouldn’t even have this segment just another nobody in the wnba.

[@natureredux1957]

Reese MADE Clark when she beat her for a RING. You know, the point to the Hand thing. That got Clark's Fanbase Blanked off. So Clark FANS really do care about REESE, far more than another other player in the WNBA. So get over it.

[@GloriaReed-u2j]

Yea. We do. That’s why we watch.( she doesn’t need a whole machine to hype her up. ) like the white media does 4 caitlyn Jenner Clark.

@@GloriaReed-u2j fans of the game respect greatness, the reason why this is an issue is people like you that hate her purely because of her skin color. Ask any golfer who’s their favorite and overwhelmingly you’ll hear tiger woods. Greatness matters skin colors don’t, except for you.

Caitlin Clark is Cody Rhodes (white meat babyface) and Angel Reese is Roman Reigns. She is the heel champ who has her lackeys try to take out her rival.
