Good for her.

 

[SSG T]

While people around here don't like her, she's earned it.

DeWanna Bonner, everytime.

prediction: several years from now indiana fever will acquire angel reese. Her new nickname will be the worm. Caitlin will win 3 more consecutive championships with help of her new enforcer.

Good for Angel, and good for Caitlin. The WNBA needs marketable talent. I get the feeling Angel has toned some stuff down. Her agent probably explained she’s leaving money on the table. And for the folks exploding with rage over Caitlin being left off the Olympic team, who would you bump off of that roster?
She’s better off with the added rest considering their season starts a month after the college season ends.

She must feel like my Minecraft characters after mining for days straight with no rest fueled only by bread.

Who?

 

[torbee]

Five offensive rebounds from her own bricks per game.

 

[swagsurfer02]

11 straight double doubles

She shoots 38% from 5 foot away. How many of those rebounds are from her own bad aim?

She’s garbage

She’s not garbage - but if she’s an All-Star, talent is down in the league.

Being a useful rebounder and decent post defender should not make one an All-Star.

I don’t remember seeing Reggie Evans in any NBA All-Star games.

Well I’m not in tip top shape right now, and I challenge her to a game of 21

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

Someone needs to tell her how hideous those eyelashes are.

My brother sent me this gem. Check out 40.1. That's one way to get a double double.

To be fair - All-Star games have as much to do with popularity/name recognition as anything else.

Based on all the double-doubles she's had, I can't say she's undeserving.

Don’t disagree but as others have pointed out, if she shot better, she’d have far fewer double-doubles. She cleans up a lot of her own misses.

Ricky Davis approves of this message.

 

[ihhawk]

She hustles. She may not be the best at making 3ft shots but she is aggressive to get the rebound.

 

[noleclone2]

This whole thread is a shining example of what Clark has done for WNBA and women’s basketball. We are ****ing talking about the WNBA all star selection and Olympic team (which already had a thread while back). Pretty amazing.

There is some merit in cleaning up your own shit.

Just top notch basketball.

If I am reading this right, the All Star team is the next best 12 players that AREN'T on the Olympic team. So, while it is an honor to be named as an All Star of course, it seems as though it is a "second team" honor this year.

I dunno...was Rodman an all star in the NBA? If so, I see his game and Reese' game as similar.

[Hans81]

While people around here don't like her, she's earned it.

My disdain for Reese is not race-related, rather she is a mean, petty, and often times borderline dirty player. She is just so jealous of all the attention that Clark gets.

 

[joelbc1]

Angel is a talent! She is a rebounding machine. Props to her….she’s a professional ball player now. You don’t have to “like” her but to deny her basketball skills shows your ignorance. How many more “triple doubles” does she have to accomplish before she gets your respect as a basketballer?
Pete Rose wasn’t a first class prick? Teddy Baseball? Ty Cobb? Bonds, Jr? Bill Lambeer?
Come on Boyz, move on.

She has no triple doubles. No rookie ever has.

How is that a swing and a miss?

 

[BioHawk]

She certainly deserves to be on the All-Star team. That isn't debatable. But she's still not RoY in my book. Or, to put it another way, if you gave me one player to build a team around I'm not choosing Angel Reese. But she's found a place to be successful at. She has a team that seems more concerned with trying to get her the rookie of the year award than actually winning basketball games so there's that I guess. I don't know Clark personally, but I'm pretty sure I know what her answer would be if you asked her if she would rather win Rookie of the Year or finish .500.
