Putting her on the cover of 2K over CC makes no fucking sense

 

They're legit going to make a WNBA video game???

Ahh, it's going to be a part of the NBA game. I see.

Or even over Breanna Stewart. Or collier.    Yes Angel is leading the league in rebounds but that doesn’t mean she’s the face of the league. 
 

Ionnescu, Wilson etc have been on the cover.  So ok.

The W has been a part of 2K for at least the last 3 yrs.

The WNBA having Caitlin Clark and pushing Angel Reese instead is like if the NBA decided Patrick Ewing was the big superstar instead of Michael Jordan back in the day

It's very dumb

This cover seems, well, I don’t know what to make of it. Melo because of the memories of a volume shooter that never came close to winning an NBA title? SGA who does not seem to be all that well liked by anyone outside of Oklahoma? Reese instead of the reason millions more people watch the WNBA in Clark? I do not get this, but I also haven’t played an NBA video game in at least 15 years or more. Maybe their internal surveys said this would be a good cover I guess.

I want to see all of her creative ways to miss layups included in her arsenal.

my favorite was the one where she caught the ball outside the semicircle, totally unopposed, and somehow dribbled her way underneath the basket before clanging the ball off the bottom of the rim.

You know missing layups for you or I is whatever. Everyone that ever played basketball has missed them. However, NO ONE IS PAYING US TO REPEATEDLY MISS THEM. I mean how does her coach watch her make shooting a basketball look like she’s coming out of the trenches at the Battle of the Somme? It’s embarrassing for her and anyone that coached her that she cannot make the bunnies.

Really shows off the ball handling skills here. Make sure her open court awareness is set to zero. That was three double dribbles in possession. Jesus tap dancing Christ I would hide her from any exposure to young hoopers looking to emulate someone’s game.

I will say she's figured something out and has been very productive. She's figured out how to play make more and not just continue to miss her own rebounds.

She's playing well.   FG% over 50% over the last 5 games

people will call you racist or sexist and swear up and down that there’s no reason for anyone to hate on angel reese and then she’ll do this:

if she could keep playing well and actually embrace the villain role she could become a legit huge star, and she could even convert a lot of the people who currently don’t care for her.

I feel that everything you think a WNBA player should do to continue to get better will see the opposite happen. 
 

Right now she is playing well. That team is hot garbage, but with how many teams make the postseason only two teams are really out of it right now in Dallas and Connecticut.

She does embrace it.  She loves attention and conflict.

Yes.  The Sky are completely devoid of top line talent outside of Reese.  Vandersloot is/was washed.  Atkins is what she has always been - a perfectly good third option on a team.  Cardoso isn't nearly aggressive enough for her size/skill - but is also hampered by the fact the Sky don't have a real PG  The rest of the team is either aging veterans or young players with very limited upside (aside from maybe Van Leith - but she's got a relatively low ceiling too).  I think the 2026 plan is to hope Olivia Miles makes it to wherever they pick so they have a young PG to pair with Reese/Cardoso and then hopefully take advantage of the ridiculous number of FA's expected this offseason.

until someone says something mean about her, and then she cries victim.
