Angel Reese GOES NUTS After Rated WORST WNBA Player in HISTORY Even After Unrivaled Win!
Angel Reese, a name that once sparked excitement in women’s basketball, is now making headlines for a completely different reason. Once considered a potential superstar, Reese has found herself in the eye of a storm, criticized for a lack of skills that have plagued her game. In an unexpected twist, basketball analysts are labeling her as possibly the most unskilled player in the history of professional basketball. This has come as a shock to many who watched her rise to fame, but it raises questions about her future in the sport.
Reese’s performance has been called into question after an underwhelming season. Analysts have cited her poor shooting mechanics, inability to finish basic layups, and limited shooting range as evidence that she is unprepared for the demands of professional basketball. Critics have even suggested that Reese, a professional athlete getting paid at the highest level, struggles with something most players master during their middle school years—making a simple layup.
“It’s almost unbelievable that we’re talking about a professional player who can’t make the most basic shots at the basket,” said one basketball expert. Despite her athleticism, size, and energy, Reese’s technical fundamentals are severely lacking, which has led to questions about how she made it to the professional ranks in the first place.
While other players like Caitlyn Clark have brought a new level of excitement to the WNBA, attracting fans and sponsors with their excellence, Reese has been struggling to even stay on the court. While Clark is compared to Tiger Woods for her ability to bring in unprecedented audiences and transform the sport, Reese finds herself barely able to contribute to her team’s success.
Unrivaled League and A Championship Win—Without Reese
Angel Reese’s story took an unexpected turn when she became part of the Unrivaled Three-on-Three Gus Macker League, a new basketball league founded by a couple of WNBA players this year. Her team won the championship, but Reese was nowhere to be found when the trophy was lifted. In a shocking move, Reese facetimed in during the championship celebration—despite missing the final two games of the tournament entirely.
This absence sparked a wave of criticism from her teammates, who felt abandoned during critical moments. One teammate was quoted as saying, “We felt abandoned when we needed her most.” Her decision to prioritize other commitments—like photo shoots and product promotions—over being there for her team during the championship raised serious questions about her dedication to the game.
Despite the win, Reese’s lack of presence during the final stretch made the victory feel hollow. Her absence sent a message to both her teammates and fans that her brand-building efforts were more important than her team’s success.
The Stark Contrast with Caitlyn Clark
As Reese struggles with fundamentals, Caitlyn Clark, her WNBA counterpart, has risen to prominence as a true leader in the sport. Clark has transformed the WNBA, bringing in huge crowds and skyrocketing viewership numbers. While the average attendance for a WNBA game hovers around 7,645 fans, Clark’s games draw an average of 15,300 fans—more than double the usual number. Her impact on the league is comparable to the way Tiger Woods revolutionized the world of golf.
Clark’s dedication to improving her craft has set her apart. Her excellence on the court has earned her massive endorsement deals, including a $28 million contract with Nike—an extraordinary feat in women’s basketball. Unlike Reese, Clark’s focus remains on basketball fundamentals, hard work, and growth, not on building her personal brand.
The Path Forward for Reese
So, where does this leave Angel Reese? The future is uncertain. Despite her championship win in the Unrivaled League, Reese’s lack of commitment and development raises questions about her longevity in the sport. She is at a crossroads, with the opportunity to either dedicate herself to improving her skills or continue chasing fame and brand deals at the cost of her basketball career.
Reese’s absence from critical moments, combined with her glaring technical flaws, has put her legacy in jeopardy. Will she choose to put in the hard work needed to fix her weaknesses, or will she remain more interested in promoting herself off the court? It’s clear that excellence on the basketball court cannot be achieved without dedication to the fundamentals.
For now, the basketball world watches closely. The spotlight is on Angel Reese—not just as a player, but as a person who may have the potential to turn things around, if she can focus on what truly matters: her game. Until then, fans and analysts alike will continue to question whether her future in the sport is as bright as it once seemed.

“We have a lot of similarities with how we carry ourselves and our mindset,” Van Lith said. “She’s a dog, man. She turns up her intensity with everyone around her so I’m excited to be in that environment with her again, where she can pull more out of me than I think I have.”
