Angel Reese is already one of the best players in the WNBA, her many rebounding records prove it.
The media do not hesitate to celebrate her exploits, even if it means playing with the truth. Andre Drummond, for example, reacted to a false statistic.
Like the NBA in the 80s with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, the WNBA is exploding thanks to an immense sporting rivalry with certain racial reflections.
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are only in their first year at the professional level, yet they are already at the heart of all the debates.
And if we rely on social networks, it is impossible to like both players at the same time.
It must be said that they have diametrically opposed styles. The point guard is flamboyant with the ball in her hands, she is capable of making shots from anywhere when she is confident, and knows how to make passes that are out of the ordinary.
Like a Stephen Curry, she seems to be able to perform miracles as soon as she touches the ball.

Damn, they’re making up numbers now.
Angel Reese is an exceptional rebounder in the WNBA, and that’s what she’s basing her case for Rookie of the Year on.
Be careful not to fall into the trap of some media outlets though…
