I don't know, why did people argue with me when I mentioned it?
Or...perhaps it was to point out the hilarious homerism that exists here.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese got everyone watching. Better buckle up.

And yet none of you listened.
Seems several thousand "Iowa Nice" people taunted Reese when she fouled out.
There was a thread, you see. And in that thread there were posters calling Reese a ‘thug’. But apparently it was deleted.
There were many threads about that incident last year, but unfortunately the only one where anyone referred to Reese as a ‘thug’ got deleted. It’s a shame, really, because now Belem is completely unable to even recall the names of some of the posters in the now-deleted thread who referred to Reese as a ‘thug’.
Homerism on a college sports message board? No wai!
Thanks for putting everyone in their place, champ 😂
Well yes, if Reese waved to any opponent only 1 time, nobody would be talking about it. But she built a reputation on talking trash. It's not that hard to see
I agreed with you that it was a questionable call, but also pointed out that the outcome of the game had already been decided.
Instead of simply agreeing with that fact, you took exception to me pointing that out and then proceeded to start arguing with multiple posters about a call that meant nothing in the end.
For one thing, the length of time of the taunt. Another is the number of them.
Smack talk and quick gestures in the heat of the game are one thing, it's another to taunt for many seconds to draw attention to yourself is another.
Again, can anyone tell me how long Gabby's taunt was? I only saw the bit before the camera panned.
Or...is it possible that we don't actually know what happens on the court and no one has any idea if one is bad and the other ok? I mean, Clark said it was part of the game.
Less than one second. What you saw was all there was. Are you saying that gesture is equivalent in your mind to those Angel Reese was doing at the end of last year's Championship game?
Are you suggesting that when I pointed that out last year it should have just been acknowledged and everyone moved on?
Oh, cool. You were there and saw?
Or you have alternative footage than what was on TV?
Technically speaking...I feel like I need to say that this ^^ is trawling, not trolling.
GIF WOB, or creative yet accurate use of a GIF? I leave my fate to you.Technically speaking...I feel like I need to say that this ^^ is trawling, not trolling.
Belem scrolling the internet for things he didn't actually see so that he could post about them on here to get people arguing with him
Life is a long vector man. And karma will reciprocate. Have no fear, drink beer. Even Icarus eventually fell on his ass.
Please show the video evidence. What did she do that was thuggery? Get in her face multiple times waving her hand in her face, make massive attention to herself in the moment, did she mock or antagonize the rest of the team, did she put a crown on her head? I am just trying to figure out where going with this, or did she literally just open hand close hand that may have been nothing to do with even waving good bye. But again if you want to make a big deal of it be my guest.
They are calling that anymore even if not set. There were multiple lack of calls, how many times did our players get racked across the face, arm, head and no calls. They even go and review one, to see if an intentional foul, it was obviously a foul but couldn't be called because it wasn't called on the court.
I didn’t tell you that dude. Don’t be putting words in my mouth or I’ll take you to fight bar.
So he’s basically just talking to himself makes sense
One thing is certain - if Gabbie had taunted Reese for anywhere near the same amount of time that Reese taunted Clark, we would have heard more about it by now.
I’ve seen basketball players wave to an opponent who just fouled out more times than I can recall. But Angel Reese is the only basketball player I’ve ever watched follow an opponent across the court for several seconds, trying to get their attention in order to taunt them.
I don't. You were implying that you knew how long she taunted her. I thought you might have something that showed what happened after the camera cut away. That's why I asked.
You mean that people weren't upset with me last year for defending Reese? I imagined that thread? People think I'm a troll for a thread that never existed?
Hat tip to belem on the commitment to the troll.
Belem, go get your live-at-home, adult children out of bed for the day. It’s time for dinner. 😂
What part of "following someone around on the court" is confusing for you here?
And walking around constantly, doing it at her.
Had Reese been doing that gesture at her own bench to elicit cheers, then they'd be the same thing.
Oh, I’m quite confident that people were upset with you. But I’m asking for evidence that someone specifically used the term ‘thug’ to describe Reese. Because you made that explicit accusation multiple times and have yet to back it up with any examples.
Why are you claiming they are "equal", when you didn't watch the game, and have no idea what occurred the first time?
I didn't. Do you have video you can show me more than the bit that was televised?
I've seen that bit today. Perhaps you have more that shows when she stopped as you all appear to be very certain how long it went on.
And I told you the thread was missing. Perhaps you can find it since we both acknowledge that it existed at some point.
