Angel Reese says people are also watching women’s basketball because of her and not just one person

Just now watching the video, and she’s right. It did all start because of the National Championship game. It goes back to what I said in previous threads. If Iowa somehow played a different opponent (a more white team) and/or Angel didn’t do the hand wave, that same momentum wouldn’t have carried over into 2024. With that said, LSU had to beat Iowa, otherwise, Angel wouldn’t have become as popular as she is either.

The polarizing nature of the rivalry really catapulting things in women's basketball, I agree.

But the Coli said that Angel wasn’t…nvm. They’ll denounce this too. In 3…2…1..

Dumbasses said she shouldn't have even DECLARED for the draft, like she couldn't even hack it in Turkey let alone the WNBA. :dead: Meanwhile the "Brehs" in this thread foaming at the mouth falling over themselves trying to cape for Caitlin Fredette barely averaging 15 ppg on over a dozen hero ball shots a game. :unimpressed: Always some of the most ignorant, flagrant takes I've ever seen on this site when it comes to Angel Reese vs. CC it seems... :mjpls::mjpls:

It's easy to be the most viewed with your games broadcasted... this is like when Randy Orton pointed out that Cena was the top merch seller for a wrestler because he had 15 different items for sale meanwhile Orton who was his equal only had 2 shirts. Reese preason debut did like a million views on an illegal stream because it wasn't broadcasted..
Are you going to pretend like other WNBA games aren’t being broadcasted as well? It’s also disregarding games in previous years that were broadcasted that didn’t reach those type of ratings.

Honest question cause its only about 2-3 years old:

Since the NIL has started, what stars have they created in college?

I dont recognize any of the college basketball players at all. College football- I dont think any of them are stars because of NIL, but still because of the schools they played for and the attention they already had. JJ McCarthy is a national championship winning, white QB, and no one cares who he is. Caleb Williams has fame do to his play and that he was at USC. I didnt see him in commercials/ads that would make him a bigger star.

So what is thNIL doing for star building?
JJ is a legend in Michigan and we need to get him selling pelle pelle and al-wassam . Maybe a feature on doughboy cash out

Reese ejected and her CAC teammate speaks

"She got two techs, she said something to the ref," Mabrey said. "Whatever he felt like was the correct call is what he made. It's more about composure for us in our young years in the WNBA. You've got to get to know refs and how they respond to things."

No other player is being promoted like Caitlin. They say they report what the people want to see, but it also goes both ways. People will gravitate towards what you promote. Take a lot of current music for example. There is NO possible way the public started liking that trash on its own without it being pushed to the masses.

Chennedy was right there nodding in agreement. Angel is only 8 games into her career. Don’t want her to gain as reputation early so refs can T her up for any little thing.

A lot of weird energy anytime Angel says anything from these dudes. Calling her out of her name. Gleeful when she doesn’t play well. Sounding like a lot of these cacs I see in the comments on social media.

It’s like they take real joy in her struggles. She averaged damn near 21 pts and 14 reb a game for LSU, won a chip and winning the Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player at the same time., Unanimous First Team All-American (2023), AP and USBWA All-American (2023). You would thinks she’s a scrub reading these posts.

Her first 8 games in the W she averages 11pts (as the 4th option on her team) and 9 reb. (7th in the league). But all they focus is on her FG% and lack of a “bag” that she never had. Weak niqqas.

If we being honest majority of these women players suck ass, we collectively have to lower our expectations to HS level when watching them hoop. The pure wnba fans are gonna pretend that's not the case because it sounds mean but it's the truth and we all know it, we gotta have discourse with kiddy gloves on. All those stats and accolade sound good but when you actually LOOK at the lack of technique on the court this shyt is laughable.

So obviously some people are gonna have a hard time being consistent when talking about em. If a guy had her FG% it'd be open season forreal :hubie: Clark would be getting clapped up too but not as bad because she's on the perimeter on a super trash team but even then, the amount of turnovers and times she passes up layups is Ben Simmons like :skip:

Rattling off Reese stats like alot of those shots aren't ugly ass lobs up to the rim we used to do in grade school when we first learned how to hoop :skip:


Everyone keep saying how skilled the W is because of the lack of athleticism need to put the drugs down and watch a NBA and wnba game side by side and stop lying to yourselves, reality gonna hit like a ton of bricks in the next season or two when everyone is exhausted pretending to enjoy these blown layups on fast breaks

As much as we wanna support the WNBA the double standard for quality of play is gonna make talking about it EXTREMELY difficult for people who also watch the NBA and are just keeping it a buck about what we're seeing
