Angel Reese Appreciation Thread

Angel Reese has the all time rookie record for double-double-dribbles.
What was that about a special whistle, Angel?
More amusing than the vid is how many people are saying it wasn't a double dribble.
Reese has perfected the Moses Malone art of offensive rebounding.
*don't worry, I get what you're referring to ...just thought this meme was classic
Yes. On "X" there are several. Many say the first move wasn't a double dribble/carry as she hadn't established possession of the ball. Some go on to say the second wasn't either.
He was probably referring to the New York liberals 😮You mean like the Las Vegas Anonymous Faces?..............

These are the same people saying that Clark had an over and back violation last night that wasn’t called even though the ball never crossed half court.
I rarely go there unless a friend sends me something. It's a microcosm (or perhaps macro) of what's wrong with society.Word of advice for a happier life: don't read twitter comments
If you watch the highlights, even the announcers said it was over and back…it wasn’t.
Your previous point was spot on, it’s a rule that many fans and broadcasters don’t understand (much like “over the back”).
I don't understand that rule at all. If you pass the ball from the front court to a player coming from the back court and the player catches it while in the air before landing in the front court an over-and-back violation is almost always called. If you touch the ball while any part of your body is touching out of bounds, the ball is considered out of bounds. But somehow part of your body can move from the front court to the back court while you possess the ball and it isn't a violation? I'm super confused on that rule.
To be fair there are 81 million people who are really stupid. We probably shouldn't be surprised some of them have access to the internet.
Don't just say twitter comments..You need to include GIAWord of advice for a happier life: don't read twitter comments
You and I both know that 81 million number is a fockin big ole fat lie
Very good points, but the homophobic jokes distracted from the message so anyone that needs to hear that message won't get the point of what he was saying. They will be too focused on the wrong things.
Reese is a one trick pony. She is very good at it, but she needs to develop more of her game (just like all rookies do). Improving her shooting percentage and improving her defensive stats would make her into the player she thinks she is. But just being good at rebounding isn't good enough to be rookie of the year when there is someone else who is in the top 3 of all rookies in about 10 different stats.
The first part is correct. If the ball has been established as "over" it can't be passed to a player who is not also established as "over". Where are you getting the second part? That would be an over and back violation. Once all three points (ball and both feet) have crossed you can't go back under your own control. (defense knocking the ball away excepted). The ball can also be thrown into the back court while being in-bounded after a dead ball.
Caitlin Clark did the second part in the game Friday night with one of her feet stepping back (but not the ball) and it wasn't called. Some have been arguing that by the rules it wasn't an over-and-back.
All three parts (the ball and both feet) have to cross into the front court…in Caitlin’s situation, the ball hadn’t crossed yet, so her feet can go back into the backcourt and it’s not a violation.

In some ways, the ugly side of Clark’s success can be traced back to commentary Swoopes made in January on an episode of former NBA guard Gilbert Arenas’ daily sports podcast Gil’s Arena. Swoopes erroneously said Clark was in her fifth year of eligibility as she was poised to set a Division I scoring record. Swoopes acknowledged that she “made a mistake,” and that Clark was actually in her fourth year of eligibility, but Iowa fans came up with the most nonsensical hashtag and campaign: #DontBeASheryl.
