Angel Reese had a MONSTER game last night.....anyone who says otherwise is a flat out hater. And even her biggest critics need to look themselves in the mirror and admit that she's having quite the start to her rookie season. Say what you want about her victim mentality when she's losing and look at me characteristics when she's winning, but her play has spoken for itself: 14 ppg, 11 rpg, and 12 straight double-doubles. I don't care if she's shooting 40% from the field when her average shot is right next to the hoop....she grabs that rebound (or the next two or three) until she puts one in the bucket.

3 tips for lengthening your backswing (the good way!)
