I really want people to stop playing in this young lady face like she doesn’t play an integral positive part in growing the game. She’s a needle mover. People LOVE Angel. It’s the middle aged men with low testosterone constantly on the internet trying to say otherwise.
Angel Reese walks off the court, slips her shoes off and gives them to a young fan holding a "reese's trade" sign for her
Angel signed the kicks & the kid kept the candy ❤️

A’ja/Stewie is actually the Magic/Bird combo that some of y’all tryna force CC/AR to be. I’m talking strictly BASKETBALL. A’ja/Stewie has already had several semis/finals series against each other. Same amount of rings & MVPs so far. A’ja 27, Stewie 29. They just getting started.
There’s a difference between having vets on your team & having veteran leadership on your team. New Fever watchers side eyeing Kelsey Mitchell & Erica Wheeler just b/c they’re vets. But they haven’t experienced anything they could teach. They’ve both pretty much spent their….
Dijonai Carrington is on the final year of her contract. 💰
1. Connecticut better throw a bag for her to stay.
2. Indiana better throw a bag b/c they need her.
3. Golden State better throw a bag to bring her home.
4. Vegas should throw a bag just because.
#WNBA
I really live in a world where I witnessed Candace Parker ascend to goat status and now I’m witnessing A’ja Wilson start to climb that same ladder. I love it here.
For 2 weeks y’all said Erica should be on the bench, Lyss doesn’t play defense, Kelsey a ball hog, Aliyah outta shape, none of them can catch passes or make layups, & her Iowa teammates are better than them. Now she gets hip checked & y’all want those teammates to go fight.
Teams who played today:
-Connecticut Sun
-Phoenix Mercury
-Indiana Fever
-Minnesota Lynx
-Las Vegas Aces
-Washington Mystics
-Seattle Storm
-Atlanta Dream
The one player y’all can’t stop bringing up:
-Angel Reese, who didn’t play today.
I wanna have a (respectful) conversation with Caitlin Clark fans who are watching the
#WNBA
for the 1st time. Why is there a desperate need for CC to be the best RIGHT NOW & for the Fever to be a championship contender THIS season? Why no grace & patience for them to develop?
Look into my eyes & listen to me carefully……
Chicago Sky vs Indiana Fever is NOT a rivalry.
It’s just 2 young teams going through a rebuild.
MIN/LA, PHX/SEA, Aces/Jonquel Jones are rivalries.
Ugh y’all still acting like Angel going 7th is a travesty. Let me throw these names out. Kahleah Copper, Jonquel Jones, Napheesa Collier, Dearica Hamby, Bri Jones, Ezi Magbegor, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Natasha Cloud, Chelsea Gray. None of those elite players went top 5. Chill.
Caitlin Clark…
Generational talent? Yes
Greatest scorer in NCAA history? Yes
High basketball IQ? Yes
Future Hall of Famer? Yes
Will run through these grown ass women in the W day 1? Absolutely not
Difference of opinion & constructive criticism isn’t hate.
@famouslos32
Brother. She’s been like this since she hit 2 game winners in the NCAA tourney in 2018. Y’all gotta stop getting on the internet & just saying anything. She’s been doing this EXACT thing in the WNBA for 6 years. YOU just never cared until the media told you white jesus was there.
whole careers as good players on bad teams. Erica never been deep in the playoff. Kelsey never even made the playoffs. Barely been on teams with winning seasons. It’s no coincidence Kate Martin having the time of her life in Vegas. She’s shadowing AC, a 3x champion…..
@MJFINESSELOVER
They made up this “relatable” narrative b/c she keeps passing the success limit they set for her. They know absolutely nothing about Sade private life but will continue to sing Smooth Operator loudly. Adele is private also and no one is screaming for to be relatable.
but guess what? We tried to tell y’all asses. We told y’all the leader of the team was only in her 2nd year & the vets were just bodies. That’s why we said be patient & relax the expectations. Y’all didn’t wanna listen & called us every name except the right ones….
The sad thing that’s lost in all this foolishness is still the lack of coverage for the stellar play ON the court.
- Sun 8-0
- Storm has the 2nd longest win streak
- Minnesota is looking like a true contender
- DT still making history at 41
- The MIP race is 🔥
Sparks aren’t winning much but Rickea Jackson has veteran leadership in Dearica Hamby, a champion & All-Star. Aaliyah Edwards has Ariel Atkins & Steph Dolson, champions & Olympians. It’s hard as shit to lead someone somewhere you’ve never been yourself….
Every time Indiana lose a game y’all get on this app treating her like a make a wish kid. If they beat Phoenix on Sunday, she’ll be the goat again & DT washed. Can’t ever take y’all seriously.
If my teammate never said anything about her cult like fans bullying me incessantly I ain’t doing shit but showing up to work and doing my job. I’ll pick you up off the floor but I ain’t getting suspended for you when you Bird Box to the bullshit.
The W promoted Caitlin Clark well before they knew she would enter the draft. Promoted her even more when she declared. Gave her team 36 national tv games. Yet y’all think they didn’t ask her to do the 3-point contest? Her super fans all have the collective IQ of a spare tire. 😒
A number 1 pick & 2x All-Star is better than a 7th pick rookie. Oh that’s groundbreaking news right there. Here we go downing one black woman to prop another. Could’ve just said Aliyah Boston played great today & left it there. 🙄
The AR/CC thing is built off racism towards AR, but no one wants to admit that. A hand gesture ignited a fire that was never lit anyway. When I say A’ja/Stewie is more Magic/Bird to me, I’m referring to the head to heads & skill sets. They’re both 6’4. The guys are both 6’9.
Welp. Add Nika Muhl fans to the delulu tree. They really think she should get significant minutes in Seattle of all places. The Storm is a title contender, not a lottery bottom. Y’all gon keep crying yourself to sleep if don’t you come terms that you’re not in Storrs anymore.
Chicago @ Vegas tomorrow. Y’all new Sky fans & AR superfans won’t be on this app spinning out right? If they lose to the back/back champs it’s not the end of the world. If they win, it’s a good finish to the 1st half of the season & great momentum heading into the break.
My 1st team all defense for the 1st half of the season:
- A’ja Wilson
- Ezi Magbegor
- DiJonai Carrington
- Napheesa Collier
- Betnijah Laney-Hamilton
Thoughts?
NTM on Spoon now. Take that energy to Sandy, Tanisha, Curt, & Eric.
Yr 1 w/ a team who was projected to finish 12th yet they’re in the playoff picture. 2 rookies in the starting lineup. 1 player who was out the league last szn. 2 players who missed all last szn w/ injuries.
Y’all new Sky fans do know they had to make trades to even get in a position to draft Kamilla & Angel right. James Wade fucked over their whole future for Marina. Kamilla could’ve ended up in Phoenix & Angel was probably gonna ride the bench in Minnesota. Count your blessings.
Remember when they said A’ja wasn’t better than Stewie because she didn’t shoot 3s? That goal post still moving or is it UNANIMOUS that A’ja Wilson is the best player on the planet?
How I feel about A’ja Wilson is how I feel about Beyoncé. The best at what they do best. You know what the resume looks like & if you can’t see or refuse to see the greatness on full display then that’s a you problem.
Saying Angel Reese doesn’t play a part in bringing new eyes to the W is hilarious when y’all haven’t stopped talking about her since April 2023. Her name is constantly trending & y’all bring her up on topics that has nothing to do with her.
@Freshh_LA
Her name is spelled Candace. That was 2008. The talent in the W is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was in 08. If you actually watched and didn’t have to google Candace name you would know that.
@microgoeswild
Make your own song and feature them how you want. Y’all wasn’t even listening to these ladies music before Cowboy Carter dropped anyway. Stop the fake support to justify your Beyoncé hate.
