    By Michael Gallagher,

    Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese came under fire several times this season with accusations of stat-padding.

    Her reputation for missing her own layups to inflate her rebounding numbers has now followed her into the virtual reality space.

    In a video clip posted by X user @2KIntel, a video clip from the “NBA 2K25” video game shows Reese doing exactly what she’s known for — missing shots from within three feet of the basket then grabbing a rebound and attempting another shot.

    To pour salt in the wound, the video clip also shows Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark hitting 3-pointer after 3-pointer.

    Fans didn’t hold back in the comment section of the video either, blasting Reese for what they perceived as an accurate reflection of her real-world style of play.

    heres a thought, the best way to keep her from rebounding, when she is open under the basket, everyone just back away and let her shoot the open layup. she can really only miss once unless she is a pathetic layup shooter.
