Angel Reese Tried Fighting An Entire Team After Getting Her Long Ass Hair Pulled, Ends Up With 1st Career Triple Double For A Chicago Win. Plus Proof Of Life From Hailey Van Lith!
The WNBA Commissioner's Cup rolled on today with 2 of the worst teams in the league squaring off... And nearly squaring up too. No matter the scoreboard, these gals go HARD in the paint! Have respect idiots. They are legend.
But I was kinda surprised by that Angel Reese rebound reaction, she's normally so well tempered and reasonable. And I thought she didn't mind seeing good players take hard fouls? And she certainly doesn't hold back attempting any subtle moves to get better positioning on the glass? Is this a situation of the pot calling the kettle, uh... never mind.
I'm sure getting your 9 ft ponytail pulled must hurt, but didn't "The Ricky Rule" in 2003 establish hair as PART of the jersey? What happened to wanting equality in sports? Are we just gonna sit here and piss down the leg of Troy Polamalu's legacy & future endorsement deals? What happened to the game I once loved?
Are there any horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?

But The Bayou Barbie didn't hear no bell and she didn't let an estrogen laced donnybrook fog her focus either. Angel ended up with her 1st career triple double in 44 games played, the fastest a Forward has done it in WNBA history.
And only the 2nd this season after Caitlin Clark's last month.

If you're a Sky fan I'm sure you love to see it, but might also want your star player to shoot better than 2-7 from the field too? And by field I mean directly underneath the basket. But hey that's a debate for another day. Can't knock Angel for going nuclear against the only team in the league with a worse point differential than her own. ONIONS!!!
And speaking of white guys yelling stuff in a basketball arena, shout out to Hailey Van Lith for finally coming out of her shell and doing big things with the most minutes she's played all season. Career high 16 points & 5 rebounds, +23 on the court, and hopefully gave her dad another opportunity to do something like this from his Fathers Day seats.

Hopefully it's the start of some real momentum for her because let's face it, we need the Sky to stay in the mix for ratings & potential playoff battles. And also, and I say this respectfully, Hailey does make getting buckets look good.

Could the Chicago Sky end up making a run led by their young fashionable core? The league office can only hope. Keep attempting to score points & boxing out with the best of them Angel, my #pageviews would be nothing without you. So in the spirit of competition I will solemnly promise this. I'll order/wear the full REESE kit for every game next year if she ends up with more triple doubles this season than CC.
That's honor. Because if you can't c--
