She led Iowa to three straight Big 10 tournament titles and was the MVP of the tournament every single time. Iowa had only won the tournament 3 times in about 25 tries before her arrival. She also led them to one regular season Big 10 championship.

Reese only won a college championship be she she ended up on Kim Mulkey’s team.

That chip belong to JASMINE CARSON of all people anyway. If you’re gonna pick and individual she’s the reason why. Kid has the basketball half of her life. Something dreams are made of.

Reese inspires her teammates all season for them to step up, Paige Bueckers said that out of her own mouth. Reese won Most Outstanding Player Of The Final Four. LSU won 1 NCAA tournament game the season before Reese arrived, they were unranked preseason and everyone on here said they weren’t good, nobody picked them to win besides me. Reese carried them by having a historic season and tournament, Iowa had the better team but even with the refs trying to foul Reese out, she still got it done.

X.

Reeses name shouldn't be said In the same breath as Caitlyn Clark. She was a 7th pick for a reason and lucky to go that high. A post player shooting 38% is a liability. Every decent post player in the W shoots bout 50% or higher.

Steph Curry went 7th, and Reese is not a natural post player, she’s only been a post player for 2 1/2 years, high school she was a wing and at Maryland she played guard/ small forward. If Klark can play all those different position then u can mention her in the same breath as Reese. Klark would shoot 10% as a post player if they switched her position. Just in case u say something, Paige played Power forward last year and was successful, so Clark has no excuse.

Klark is not the best, yes she put up the stats because she always has the ball and the offense is run trying to get her open with screens and she pad stats. Angel Reese is a winner and Champion and that’s something Klark will never be. End of story.

That is throwing shade at us for hanging the 2020 season ending No.1 ranking, banner. The banner is true, but the opposition fans are so jealous, and they had nothing else better to throw. I think the banner is wonderful and it goes well with the last 3 national championship banners from 2017, 2022 and 2023. It is getting crowded with all the SEC regular season championships and SEC tournaments championships but that's OK.

In other news, this is a Championship lineup, the 2 best players in the country in Juju and Kiki and the best freshman in the country in Kennedy Smith, they will be fun to watch.

Yes she is and you just showed your bias by spelling her name with a "K". That's childish at best....she also took Reeves out this season...geez...

When did she take Reese out? Are u talking about when she pushed Reese into the cameraman and hurt her already sprained ankle more and she was fixed to hop around the rest of the game?

Only because Reese was hurt, but she got that. She didn’t end up winning and that’s what matters.

He's what your itty-bitty mind cannot seem to comprehend. You do not count. With those whose vote does count.....Caitlin Clark was the rookie of the year. End of story. Have a good day.

Like I said I don’t care about regular season awards because they are figged from the start. Most outstanding Player and Finals MVP is what’s valued because u can’t VOTE someone a Champion and Reese has one already. End of story. Russel Westbrook gets bunch pf stats but he’s not a winner, and Like the great Kevin Durant said “You can’t win with those Cats”. Award winners and AllStars are made in the regular season but LEGENDS are made in the Championship game and WNBA finals.

In other words....what fits what you want to believe is all that matters. I've been around people like you my entire life. If it doesn't say what they want it to say, then it's not important. It's a very foolish way to live. You will fall for every con there is.

Well I’ve always wanted to win and hated to lose, thats the on;y thing that fueled me in sports and actually everything honestly. That’s why my favorite athletes are Michael Jordan and Serena Williams. I look for athletes that have killer will and don’t give up until they get the ultimate prize. You can value stats and awards and that’s fine with me.

That’s not the banner they’re referring to: “Due to the unprecedented abrupt ending to the season following the SEC Championship win, Staley said they should be claim the mythical national championship, with the program making a claim through the size and location of the banner highlighting finishing #1 in the polls on December 31, 2020, at the 2020–21 conference season opener. As of the 2022–23 season, that banner size is identical to the two official championship banners, and located between the official championship banners.” - wiki

Are you serious ? Did you ever look at Reese’s stats at Maryland ? Or watch her play ? She’s not a guard. I was watching her on a recent podcast she’d even tell you she’s neither a wing or guard . She stated she wants to get better and the host asked her what she meant. She said - I have to do more than what I’m comfortable with (rebounds putbscks etc ) she needs a 3 point shot and a better handle on ball- those are her comments not mine . Now go look at her stats at Maryland they are bad if you believe she played guard. Angel wanted to play the 3 but Freese was not on board.

Angel Reese - Women's Basketball - University of Maryland Athletics

Angel Reese (10) Forward/Guard - AP Third Team All-American (2022) USBWA All-America Honorable Mention (2022) Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Semifinalist

Her one full season she has twice as many T/
o as assists . She shot .176 from 3 … she’s not a guard and she’ can’t do most of the things CK can at guard
