Lol Reese stinks
It’s amazing to see the people who creating the term “victim mentality”…….literally do it all season with Clark 😂😂😂
Reese is so full of racism and hate for Catlin is now well defined.. that simple.. and jealousy
People need.
To quit crying so much about Caitlyn.Clark, she's a grown woman.Her fans cry about stuff more than she do
The golden yt child got hit..lol
ESPN clearly going out of their way not to mention Angel Reese’s comments about a “special whistle” for CC. Didn’t even mention it on First Take. 🤔
I do not see Reese slamming any other players head? Physical league does not give you right just to pound someone in the head.
🤣🤣we don't know how physical the WNBA is ?Ma'am it's stupid play and it was the right call.
playing "tough" or "physical" is one thing … BUT being a HACK and a THUG is completely different when fouling hard ON PURPOSE … let's go Andraya tell the truth 🤷🤷♂🤷♀
Blocking a layup trailing a player is nearly an impossible play
Reese has to be the most delusional basketball player playing the game right now.
Missing the problem.
Wheres clarks team ?
Whos got her back ?
Angel just can’t hold and L and move on in stride
She going for the ball fosho… But she didn't care that she got her. But legit
Tired of CCs nonchalant attitude smack these hoes back fr (wnba ain’t no physical league)
Rivalry? Please show the attendance and viewer ratings of Reese games when she isn't playing Clark and then show the same when Clark isn't playing Reese. There is NO comparison. I understand your ESPN so you have to pretend like it isn't just and only Clark.
lmao she says women are so bad at going for blocks that they constantly accidentally bash each other in the head. womens sports are a joke.
Clark's teammates are 🗑
WNBA analysts just as salty as Reese
This female analyst, Andraya, is a joke
The hate is bad
Andraya adds nothing to any show! Sorry ESPN!
Just went for the block and mistook her head for the ball. Can happen to anybody…
I'm a Clark fan but people are lookin' for any little thing to stir up some drama. The play struck me as neither outright dirty nor 100% clean, more a bit of both. Reese was initially simply going for the block but when she unintentionally swiped across Clark's head she definitely put some extra oomph into it. And then she stared at CC but turned away just before it could've been considered taunting.
If it keeps happening in one direction only, the 17 sponsors of Reese will fade away with time. If CC stays polite, her bag…..will grow.
This isn't a rivalry! lol Women's college basketball was pretty popular even prior the 2023 Iowa-LSU championship game, then Clark took the popularity to another level and she's now doing that for the WNBA, except the WNBA was irrelevant prior to Clark's arrival.
Andraya Carter is 100% right, you people is the dumb people in the world, but bl**k people is supposed to be dumb, Cameron Brink get hit in the face all the time, C.C is the most popular play in the W, the problem is she is not the best PG, Paige Bueckers, Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, Mikaylah Fulwiley are, see four that is bester, and if you put the W in 10, but the good news is Aliyah Boston is one month old then C.C, she got draft in 2023, and in 1and14 year she the second best center in the W, a generational play.
It was definitely a flagrant foul. She had no chance of blocking that shot. Angel is a punk!
Just because Angel Reese makes theese play all the time dosen't mean it is a basketball play – it means she is late and are not that good of a player.
Angel Reese should stick to Social Media. She dosen't belonge on the court.
If you got rid of all the Ghetto-Girls and bad players in wnba it might be worth watching. Why are more people watching Womens College Basket (NCAA)!
Attention all woman of ESPN , we know your protecting Angel Reese . We are Not stupid or blind. The real question is , why?
Angel is the most vocally jealous of Clark, it is obvious by her comments about both CC and the previous hard fouls they committed on her. Stop trying to act like the treatment of CC is normal. If Angel thinks she actually made a play on the ball, she is a GD moron and is lying to herself, and Andraya Carter is lying as well.
Angel Reese gonna start doing Draymond Green level fouls on Caitlin Clark, but these women on ESPN still gonna defend her and say it was a basketball play 😅😅😅
Angel Reese will always be remembered as the one who celebrated a malicious and dirty play…
Not surprised she sided with Angel Reese
It was a basketball play that's all you can say.
Catilin is a true warrior. She's not complaining because she knows that the ladies get PHYSICAL!!!
She wasn't anywhere near the ball, come on.
Haha, good cover from Greenie
You protect the golden goose
If you're fascinated why Reese vs Clark is such a lighning rod, read this below (from "The Decision Lab"):
"Similar-to-me effect"
The similar-to-me effect is a cognitive bias that explains our tendency to prefer people that look and think like us. We have an affinity towards all things familiar to us, which is why the similar-to-me effect is also known as the affinity bias. While it might seem harmless in principle to associate ourselves with familiar people, the similar-to-me effect can lead to unjust consequences when applied to hiring practices, workplace promotions, and tolerance towards otherness.
In-group bias: Our tendency to give preferential treatment to people in a group we identify ourselves as belonging to.
Ethnocentrism: Our tendency to view the world through our own cultural lens and judge our own culture as superior to others.
Egocentric bias: Our inability to see things from another perspective which can cause us to ignore people who have different viewpoints to our own.
Social Identity Theory: A theory which states that a person’s sense of self is based on the groups which they belong to.
Stereotypes: Preconceived notions we assume about people based on them sharing characteristics with a prototype of people in that group that we hold in our minds.
Our tendency to favor those similar to us is the basis of multiple cognitive biases which have likely shaped much of human interaction throughout history. However, it only established its academic roots in 1906, when political scientist William Sumner first identified that we tend to treat people that we identify as part of our in-group better than people that are outside our group. He believed ethnocentrism, a belief that our own culture is superior to others, was the root of in-group bias. Ethnocentrism and in-group bias were posited as reasons behind atrocious treatment of otherness.
(so when you are on the outside and you see this discorse play out…the above passage shows the root where it comes from)
You idiots trying to make a big deal out of nothing… A. T. Like to took angels head off her body and that was nine times worse than take foul on y'all little cc. It lasted about two days. White people your the reason we all hate CC… It's racist like you that's doing that. 90 percent of y'all no nothing about basketball!!!!!
Aren't familiar lol. Stfu. What if they do watch? That was a clumsy foul caused by frustration in another rookie too immature to handle her petty emotions. She needs to learn not be encouraged.
I can agree it's a basketball play, but the way Angel goes after Caitlin, I can say she 100% knew she was getting all head and no ball.
Reese knows dang on well that particular foul was a Flagrant
Look at Reese's eyes. Clearly, they were focused on the ball and not the opponent's head.
A simple solution is available here, every time a black player goes up to the rim, every white player should execute that "basketball Move" and then we will see if it is considered a "Basketball Move"
As for all the black commentators their view of calling this a "Basketball Move" is nothing but bovine excrement
"Here she will find Smith for the dagger…layup." Lmao! 🤣 Nothing like a good layup to get the crowd rocking!
Everyone tryna spin this one way or another… Its all pure comedy 😂
