Agreed! Reese always over reacts!

Reese is such a poor example to showcase to young girls as someone to aspire to be.
She gets fouled and immediately goes to punch the other player!
I played + coached for over 30 yrs. She'd be benched for that violent behavior
Sadly, during Reese's 1st yr, too many encouraged that behavior from her

It was a small potatoes foul compared to the ones CC had to receive her rookie year.

LOL.. the first foul itself was fine. It was the extra push with that disdain after the first foul that got her the flagrant 1 and pissed Angel off.

Overshadowed is Bonner breaking another all time scoring stat line. Not sure why the WNBA does not even mention it on their posts

This a flagrant foul. No reaction from Reese then. Says a lot. Its personal. She is jealous. https://youtu.be/ggd0F93uDW4?si=zRx9q8ltFkgm-y-m&t=62

ESPN trying to drum up even more drama... "Clark shoved Reese at the end of the play"... Please...

If anything, we all knew Reese was going to miss that open layup. AR has been in the TikTok studio instead of the lab.
