"Most overrated athlete in all of sports": Jason Whitlock delivers grim Angel Reese review 1 month into her WNBA career

WNBA: Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky
Jason Whitlock delivers grim Angel Reese review 1 month into her WNBA career

Jason Whitlock has charged against WNBA rookie Angel Reese again. The veteran analyst didn't mince words when talking about the Chicago Sky rookie, especially when Caitlin Clark came up in the conversation.

After Reese's flagrant foul on Clark on Sunday, criticism started pouring in from fans. Whitlock joined the conversation Tuesday, blasting Angel Reese for allegedly hating Caitlin Clark due to her lack of skills:

"Angel Reese is arguably the most overrated athlete in all of sports. She is as unskilled as any player in the WNBA. She's awkward. None of this gets actually talked about. Look at the way she actually runs. Her lower body seems to be disconnected from her upper body.
"She's incredibly unathletic. She has no skills, no post game. Caitlin [Clark], I'm sure watches her and laugh and thinks, 'This woman is a rebounder and that's it.' She has no other skill and that's why she hates Caitlin Clark so much."

Whitlock has been very critical of Reese and her rivalry with Caitlin Clark has fueled the controversial journalist to speak out against the former LSU star.

Jason Whitlock accused Angel Reese of always playing the victim

After the Indiana Fever took down the Chicago Sky for the second time this season, Whitlock took offense with Angel Reese's claim about Caitlin Clark having a "special whistle." These remarks didn't sit well with Whitlock and he took to social media to criticize Reese.

"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."

Prior to this, Angel Reese claimed that the referees missed calls for the Sky while giving them to the Fever.

"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."

Even though the players have said there's no beef between them, the actions on the court make people think there's more than just competitiveness and the desire to win.
