So she made her first shot then stopped shooting to shut up the haters? She played 21 of 40 mins, left the game midway through 3rd qtr with her team down 30, and her teammates brought them back to within 20 and Angel never came back in the game?

First off FUCK Joy Taylor...she horrendous on a Skip/Acho hot take level.

But I think she's confused...Reese wouldn't be a household name without that interaction.

Clark was always going to be.

Her team fucking sucks. 

Caitlin and co. have a little squad and I wouldn't be surprised if they make a run this year. The Sky are irrelevant and Reese isn't the type of player to ever drag a team to anything.

For anyone that cares about the actual games and results or even pays attention to them I think we're going to look back on this and laugh. I'm already laughing. 

There's a huge influx of extremely talented players that are going to seriously raise the competition level of this league and a player like Reese is going to get left in the dust. Unless she gets lucky and the next Magic Johnson gets drafted to her team. Even then - that player will be the major star over her.

Reese was never going to be a #1 player for a team.   She didnt have the athleticism or skill to be that.   What she does have is an incredibly high level of hustle and pretty good playmaking skills.   She could be a great compliment to a next level talent.    Pairing her with Cardoso will be really good once they get some better guards.   Losing Vandersloot hurt them but she is older and not as impactful as she was.   Even when she was at her peak she wasnt a scorer though.   They need a backcourt scoring threat ASAP

Reese is obviously a self-absorbed head case, but its laughable to suggest she'll wash out of the league in a couple of years

1.) She leads the league in rebounding by a comfortable margin and is up there in steals as well, so she has value even with her "make a wish foundation" offensive skillset

2.) She brings eyeballs and drives discussion of a league that is desperately trying to grow awareness and you need villains to keep things interesting. The league is almost completely bereft of basketball talent and athleticism in general, so lets not pretend she is alone in that regard. Her salary is $75K. If you know anything about advertising costs, tell me the league doesn't benefit immensely from that $75K spent. Its not like she is sitting on a $40M/yr salary like Ben Simmons.

As long as her "value" to the league is orders of magnitude more than her salary, she ain't going anywhere. Unless she decides she can make more money shoving bowling pins up her ass on onlyfans, she'll have a spot to play for the foreseeable future. Simple economics guarantee that.
