'Delusional, always a victim': Jason Whitlock scolds Angel Reese for crying foul about Indiana Fever's 'special whistle'

Chicago Sky v Indiana Fever
Jason Whitlock scolds Angel Reese for crying foul about Indiana Fever's 'special whistle'

Sports commentator Jason Whitlock blasted Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese after she disagreed with a flagrant-1 foul called on her.

With 2:53 minutes left in the third quarter of the Chicago Sky-Indiana Fever game, Indiana's Clark went to the basket and Reese followed her, hitting the guard in the face as she attempted to block Clark's shot.

"I think we were playing really hard," Reese said after the game. "I think we went up strong a lot of times, and we didn't get a lot of calls. And going back and looking at the film, I've seen a lot of calls that weren't made, and I guess some people got a special whistle. ... Regardless of the referees, we're not going to be denied. Our goal is to win."

Whitlock clapped back at Reese, calling her out for playing the victim against the media.

"The 'special whistle' isn’t what’s interesting," Whitlock said. "This is: “We’re not going to be denied no matter what you guys try to do. She thinks the media is against her. Delusional. Always a victim."

In addition to Whitlock, some fans went after the former LSU star for her foul on Clark in Indiana's 91-83 win.

Angel Reese became second Sky player in altercation with Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky landed in Indianapolis trying to get revenge after losing their first duel against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever 71-70 a couple of weeks ago.

Reese became the second player to star in a controversial moment with Clark. Chennedy Carter's push of the No. 1 pick in April's draft during the first game sparked a controversy, and Reese's foul will probably do the same.

Carter showed a different attitude on Sunday after Caitlin Clark drove to the basket and was met by Dana Evans. Carter didn't try to act tough against Caitlin and instead lifted her arms to calm things down.

In the end, the Indiana Fever (5-10) got the win over the Sky (4-9).

Caitlin Clark led Indiana with 23 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
