NBA fans mock Angel Reese after she displays overpowering strength over opponent
The Chicago Sky vs. Seattle Storm was an exciting game from start to finish, and Sky rookie Angel Reese gave it her all to increase her team’s chances of winning.
However, despite her great efforts, the Sky could not turn the game around in the final quarter and lost 68-77.
Reese showcased her power as a player, making some impressive shots and shaking off defenders with raw body strength.
Case in point: a video of her forcing her way into the paint and making a shot while guarded by veteran Nneka Ogwumike has surfaced on X.
NBA fans were divided in their opinion regarding the play, with one user comparing the Chi Barbie to the Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.
“This is how Draymond Green played in 2016.”
The user referenced the time when Green got suspended in the NBA finals because of being overly physical against the Cavs.
Other fans joined the fray to mock Reese’s showing of strength.
“OH MANNN THE BAYOU BARBIE AINT PLAYINGG FAIRR,” @NotIssacFrost said.
“She playing football,” @Issac66m said.
While some fans mocked Reese’s play, others supported the Chicago Sky star’s dominant moves.
“Goat fr fr,” @Deprressed30fan said.
“She’s a beast man. Future MvP and DPOY,” @RealDealDailey said.
“She’s cookin,” @MrDwein said.
Angel Reese was a dominant force on the court, exerting pressure both on offense and defense.
She displayed potential as she went against veteran defenders to score baskets and even draw in fouls.
