Angel Reese Managed To Set Women’s Basketball Back A Quarter Century With The Most Embarrassing 15 Seconds In WNBA History
Basketball fans are in stitches over a viral video of Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese missing not one, not two and not three…but four (!) shots over an 11-second sequence.
Angel Reese and the Sky hosted the New York Liberty on Thursday night, looking to avoid an 0-2 start following their 93-58 blowout loss against Caitlin Clark and the Chicago Sky in the season opener.
But for the second straight game, very little went right for Reese and the Sky in another lopsided defeat. They fell 99-74 to the visiting Liberty, shooting just 36.2 percent from the field as a team.
Perhaps the clip below in the first quarter best sums up the night for Reese and company. Early in the first quarter, Reese missed four shots over an 11-second span, but she at least bolstered her stats by obtaining the rebound each time:
Social media had a field day teeing off on Angel Reese over the four awful missed shots in the 11-second period:
Submitting this to Americas Funniest home videos asap,” a user wrote.
“She needs to have asterisks next to her double double record. This is heinous,” one fan wrote.
“Just give her the MVP already,” joked another.
“Does 3 travelings equal 1 traveling in the WNBA? Lol,” wrote a user.
“Just smash the over on rebounds 😂easy money,” another quipped.
“They need to change the stat allocation just for her lol,” said a user.
Angel Reese briefly set the WNBA single-season rebound record last year with 446 before undergoing season-ending wrist surgery. Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson wound up breaking the record, finishing with 451.
For what it’s worth, Reese is at 29 rebounds through Chicago’s first two games.
