Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese may have had a massive game on Sunday, but she found herself trending due to multiple critics who love to point out how many shots she misses and the rebounds she gets from those misses.
On Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces, Reese scored only 11 points but grabbed a career-high 22 rebounds.
However, Angel Reese was still being blasted online because she finished 4 for 16 from the field and many clips showed her rebounding her own misses.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was one of those critics of the Sky rookie as he wrote, “Nothing but net!” following a terrible miss.
