Sue Bird DIDN’T HOLD BACK On Angel Reese After Latest Stunt! She’s Not Caitlin Clark!
Why post the photo if you don’t want the likes, the comments, the thirst, the simps, the haters—all of the above? Don’t post the photo if you’re looking for all the comments. What happens when a WNBA player cares more about Instagram likes than making layups? Just ask Angel Reese. Her latest stunt has even her fans facepalming so hard they forced her to do the unthinkable. But while Reese is busy breaking the internet—and not in a good way—Caitlyn Clark is breaking records in the gym. Here’s a wild thought: What if Reese spent as much time on her game as she does on her selfies?
Instead, she’s strutting down red carpets, ranting about her salary, and deleting her social media in shame. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Clark is out here looking like Rocky Balboa in a basketball jersey. She’s grinding in the gym, perfecting her craft, and still finding time for charity work. Two players, two very different paths. Trust me, you won’t believe what Sue Bird had to say about this mess.
It’s really fun, rewarding, and also interesting to watch these younger athletes step into their professional careers. Obviously, Caitlyn and Angel are two great examples. But while one WNBA rookie is busy hitting the delete button on her social media, another is busy deleting her competition on the court. Let’s talk about the tale of two offseasons.
First up, we’ve got Angel Reese—the self-proclaimed “Bayou Barbie” who seems more interested in living up to that nickname than improving her inside game. Her latest stunt? Rocking a mocha-colored animal-print gown with a slit so high it could probably block shots better than she can. But guess what? That little fashion show didn’t go over so well with her fans. How can you wear that, post it, and also complain that you don’t like being sexualized?
Reese’s Instagram account went poof faster than her hopes of being the next big thing in the WNBA. Why? Because apparently, some folks thought her New Year’s Eve outfit was a bit too spicy for a professional athlete. But don’t worry, Reese fans—she’s still serving looks on TikTok and Twitter because priorities, right?
While Reese is busy lip-syncing to songs about how fabulous she is, her critics are singing a different tune. They’re saying her social media presence is all about fashion and personal branding, with basketball taking a backseat. It’s like she’s trying to be a Kardashian with a jump shot—except the jump part seems optional.
Now, let’s flip the script and talk about Caitlyn Clark. You know, the one who’s actually living up to the hype. Sure, she’s doing some off-court activities too—a little charity work here, a round of golf there. But guess where she spends most of her time? In the gym. Shocking, I know.
Clark’s offseason routine could make even seasoned pro athletes break a sweat. While Reese is perfecting her pose, Clark’s perfecting her game. We’re talking intense workouts, skill drills, and yes—actual basketball. Novel concept, right?
Clark’s not just working on her already impressive shooting accuracy. She’s getting stronger, developing a mid-range floater, and improving her left-hand game. She’s building a basketball empire, while Reese is busy building a house of cards with Instagram posts.
Sue Bird didn’t name names, but she might as well have been staring straight at Reese when she compared athletes’ personal brands to their on-court performance. Bird’s advice was simple: Keep basketball the main thing, because at the end of the day, that’s your vehicle.
