Jasoп Whitlock lashed oυt at Aпgel Reese iп a scathiпg raпt this week, braпdiпg the Chicago Sky forward the most overrated athlete iп sports.
Reese has been one of the best players in the women's game for a while now, yet she still has plenty of critics. Many of those happen to be Caitlin Clark fans, with Whitlock a detractor who reckons she's jealous of the Indiana Fever Fever star.
Despite winning a national championship with LSU and averaging a double-double in the pros, Reese appears to have much more to do before she can win some folks over.
Whitlock took some shots at the former Lady Tigers star on Tuesday, suggesting she must get laughs out of Candace Parker.
He also criticized the entire WNBA, suggesting that Reese is as unskilled as any player in the league.
"She is awkward... Her lower body seems to be disconnected from her upper body. She's incredibly unathletic. She has по skill, по postgame. I'm sure Candace Parker watches her and laughs." Whitlock said.

"That's the difference between you and Candace Parker she doesn't look and laugh she loves her sisters," one of the comments read. "It's one thing to point out flaws in someone's game but why do it with so much disdain? Someone hurt you bad!"
"She brings fans and is unique she is def not someone to hate on like this." another pointed out.
While Angel Reese isn't as efficient as she hoped she would be in the WNBA, she holds her own on the court and remains a rebounding machine.
Of course, there is a learning curve in the pros, and she's still adjusting to the WNBA, as is Caitlin Clark.
Jason Whitlock went way too far with this one, but Reese has time on her side and will be looking to prove all of her critics wrong in the coming years.
In a pivotal matchup against Indiana, Coach Teresa Weatherspoon of the Chicago Sky
expressed deep satisfaction with the seamless collaboration between rookies Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese. The duo's effective teamwork played a crucial role in securing a significant victory, overshadowing the impact of Caitlin Clark, a standout player in women's basketball.
Weatherspoon's praise for Cardoso and Reese underscores their growing influence and potential within the team.
Their synchronized efforts on the court showcased a level of cohesion and understanding that belies their rookie status, proving instrumental in overcoming Indiana's challenges.

While Caitlin Clark is renowned for her individual prowess and formidable presence on the court, it was the collective performance of Cardoso and Reese that stole the spotlight in this game.
Weatherspoon's strategic guidance and the players' dedication to executing the team's game plan were evident in their performance.
The victory not only solidifies Chicago Sky's standing in the league but also highlights the promising future of the team with young talents like Cardoso and Reese.
As they continue to develop and integrate into the team dynamics, their ability to complement each other's strengths bodes well for the Sky's aspirations in the ongoing season.
Looking ahead, Coach Weatherspoon's satisfaction with the rookies' performance serves as a testament to their potential to become key players in shaping the team's success.
With each game, Cardoso and Reese are expected to further establish themselves as integral components of the Chicago Sky's strategy, aiming for continued victories and championship contention.
In a shocking turn of events, WNBA star Brittney Griner has stirred up significant controversy by directly calling Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese "traitors to America" and threatening that they would not be forgiven if they chose to play for the Canadian team.
This statement has sparked intense debate among basketball fans and the sports community at large.
Griner's harsh words came in response to speculation that Clark and Reese might consider playing for a team outside the United States.
Her comments have divided fans, with some supporting her patriotic stance while others criticize her for what they perceive as an overreaction and unfair judgment.
Supporters of Griner argue that loyalty to one's country is paramount, especially for athletes representing their nation on international stages. They believe that Clark and Reese should remain committed to playing for American teams and view Griner's remarks as a rightful call to uphold national pride and integrity.
On the other hand, critics argue that professional athletes have the right to choose where they play based on their career aspirations and personal circumstances
They view Griner's comments as unnecessarily harsh and believe that such decisions should be respected rather than condemned.
The debate has highlighted the broader issue of player autonomy and the pressures athletes face regarding national loyalty versus career opportunities.
As the conversation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Clark and Reese will respond to Griner's remarks and whether this controversy will impact their future decisions.
The incident underscores the passionate emotions that sports can evoke and the complex dynamics athletes navigate in their professional journeys.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this situation develops and what it might mean for the future of basketball on both sides of the border.
