Jeff Teague Completely Dismantles Angel Reese’s Victim Narrative After Caitlin Clark Flagrant Foul

The careers of Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have been inextricably linked for over 25 months now. The former college basketball superstars have both taken the league by storm and are responsible for legions of new fans watching the WNBA. However, their rivalry on the basketball side has always seemed to be a bit forced. Not only are they two unequal talents, they don’t play the same position.

Caitlin Clark is quite obviously the most talented and skilled prospect to ever touch the WNBA floor. Angel Reese undoubtedly has her merits as a defender and as a rebounder. But her skill level doesn’t come close to that of the best forwards in the league, like A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, DeWanna Bonner and more. Reese arguably wasn’t even better than someone like Alysha Clark.

Their rivalry was something that appeared because the whole of college basketball fandom had their eyes on Clark’s ascendancy. People were looking to look the other way on the relatively poor sportsmanship that Reese has consistently displayed. But her recent reaction after getting an intentional foul from Clark signaled a deeper disdain within Reese. Perhaps the Sky forward doesn’t really feel indifferent to her rival.

Jeff Teague and his co-panelists on the 520 podcast got together on Monday morning to discuss this incident. Teague was unabashed in his critique of Angel Reese for the way she escalated the situation. He also spelled out to fans that Reese had ‘flopped’ on the play before directing her ire at Caitlin Clark.

WNBA fans, y’all are gonna have to get used to this new NBA Twitter s**t. We don’t do that soft s**t that y’all like…I’mma keep it gangsta here, she flopped. I like Angel Reese, but that’s a flop…I hate when people do the extra…If you’re being real, what does Angel Reese get that Caitlin Clark doesn’t get? Why would she hate her?
