Days After Saying She Deserves More Money, Angel Reese Reveals She Can Barely Dribble

Recently, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky joined other WNBA All-Stars in making a public show of demanding more money.

Then, in her teams first game back from the Break, Reese made a show of comically inept ball handling.

On Tuesday, the Minnesota Lynx (a virtual playoff lock) defeated the woeful Sky (a team that probably wont sniff the playoffs) by a score of 91-68, a game in which Reese extended a largely meaningless personal statistics streak while coughing up an embarrassing nine turnovers.

During the game, Reese posted her 10th consecutive double-double.

Per , that made her the first player in league history to accomplish that feat twice in her career.

Moreover, at only 23 and in her second professional season, has plenty of time to do it again.

Of course, the young Sky All-Star has also made a name for herself in ways that go beyond on-court performance.

Since their college days, has cultivated an image as the nemesis of Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark, widely regarded as the face of the WNBA.

Because Reese is black and Clark is white, commentators in the and have used their rivalry as a proxy with which to wage various culture wars.

Meanwhile, have fed that narrative through their obvious jealousy of Clark.

Whatever others might have done to exacerbate things, however, Reese remains a problem in her own right.

In short, she comes across as , , and even lazy in a very specific way.

For instance, in comments to reporters at the WNBA All-Star Game over the weekend, Reese characterized the leagues latest collective bargaining proposal as disrespectful, per .

Thats fine; Reese is hardly the first professional athlete to complain about a contract with owners.

According to , in fact, her fellow All-Stars donned black t-shirts that read Pay Us What You Owe Us.

To prove that she deserves more money, however, Reese then went out and committed nine turnovers in one game.

Non-basketball fans should understand what makes that unusual and even reprehensible.

First, plays forward, not guard, which means that she generally has fewer opportunities to handle the ball.

Nonetheless, the following clips, posted to the social media platform X, showed the kinds of careless turnovers she committed.

In fact, through 22 games Reese in turnovers per game by a wide margin.

For context, of the five players committing the most turnovers, Reese has the fewest assists per game.

Those two statistics tend to measure volume of ball handling how often a player has the ball in her hands.

In short, handles the ball less often than others but gives it away more often than anyone.

As a general rule, one cannot attribute laziness to a player who leads a league in rebounds, as Reese does.

There is, however, a certain kind of laziness that comes from sulking.

See, for instance, the following clip of Reese carelessly inbounding the ball in a game earlier this season.

So does everyone.

But, given her propensity to commit lazy, sulking-induced turnovers, and in light of her teams abysmal record, what is her on-court performance really worth? We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.
