Never mind, that's the other thread.

How is she even a pro? If she wasn’t huge she wouldn’t be near a court. She misses so badly nobody else is coordinated enough or big enough to get a rebound and she gets a stat. The wNBA would have folded decades ago had the owners wanted to actually make money off it. I’m surprised they sank money for so long. Maybe it’s finally starting to look toward a profit because of CC and some better ball overall. The guards are pretty good. The game is just so non athletic compared to what people are used to though.

Ahhh. When I saw anti-Goat, here’s what I expected:
I’ll go with the anti-GOAT starting 5:
Adam Morrison
Darko Milicic
Anthony Bennett
Greg Oden
Kwame Brown
Adam Morrison
Darko Milicic
Anthony Bennett
Greg Oden
Kwame Brown
Greg Oden doesn't belong in the same group as the others. His problem was injuries, not lack of ability like the other four on your list.
What’s her FG% outside of 5 feet???
I see her carrying multiple dog leashes in the near future.
A lot of her points come off of MEbounds. She looks so uncoordinated and it's a disgrace that she's a "professional". She's a terrible player in a terrible league. Sure, there are some good women players. She just isn't one of them.
So? She gets most of those points off her 14 Mebounds from misses like that. It shows how ineffective most women post players are that she is still that successful.
Jon Koncak signed a famous six-year, $13 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks in September 1989. This massive deal made a backup role player one of the highest-paid team members in the NBA.
Social media tells me she is the face of the league. Surely all those accounts aren't lying to me?
It didn't help matters that he was 52 when he signed his first NBA contract.
Oden had already retired from 30 years at his factory job and had 4 grandkids when played his one year at Ohio State and was drafted. The Trail Blazers had hoped his hip and knee replacements would hold up for a few years, but they didn’t.

I remember watching Dave Justice go 1 for 33 in the World Series and thinking, couldn't anybody do that well? I know it's supposed to be hard to hit a fastball but 1 hit out of 99 chances...
Always thought of Chris Webber as a kind of anti-goat. Generationally talented but always would have something weird that prevented outright greatness from being achieved.
So you're saying if Reese wasn't tall, she probably wouldn't be playing professionally? No kidding? That's not an argument lol. If LeBron was 5'6", he'd be doing something else too. If Troy Aikman was blind in one eye he wouldn't have had a video game in the 90s. Who makes an argument that includes taking away someone's strength, in this case, height? It's like saying if Cal didn't have Davis, he wouldn't have a title at UK. Well...he did lol.
I was the first to bring up that Reese averages 16 and 11 earlier this summer and was met with "PAY ATTENTION SHES TERRIBLE NO ONE CARES WHAT SHE AVERAGES THAT DONT MATTER SHES AWFUL WHY IS SHE IN THE LEAGUE"
She's in the league because she puts up solid numbers. How are you and one or two others not comprehending this? What do you think her coach would say if you told him this bizarre take that she's actually terrible in your view and you question why she's playing in the WNBA? Again, we're talking about someone averaging a double double at a professional level. Do you actually believe her coach would agree with you? Lol.
Lebron has a real skill set though. She is nothing but tall. The point is just because you are tall as a man doesn’t guarantee you an NBA spot. That’s the difference. Look at Oscar, he can’t sniff real playing time and he’s 100x more skilled than her. When you can put up shots like that 7 times a game and be an All Star… it shows she is an awful basketball player in a terrible league.
You: she is an awful basketball player
You: How is she even a pro?
Reality:
8/5 - 14 and 10
8/2 - 23 and 16
7/31 - 21 and 13
7/29 - 22 and 12
7/17 - 23 and 12
7/13 - 23 and 13
7/9 - 18 and 11
7/4 - 17 and 13
7/2 - 13 and 13
Those numbers would indicate she is not an awful player and if you're questioning why someone with those stats shouldn't be playing, I would ask what your real motive here is because anyone would say she's played well, at least in what I took the time to look up. From what I see stat wise, she's had like one pretty mediocre game since July. No one here is saying she's the best player in the world but when someone pretends she's downright terrible and asks how it's possible she's a pro...the above is your answer. There's a weird pushback here when it comes to her and I'm unsure why that is. I provided stats as to why she's a solid pro. You provided your opinion, which again, looking at (recent) stats, appears to be incorrect.
My god you’re so hard up to argue all the time you’re looking up WNBA stats
What exactly is the point of bickering about the merits of the wnba or one individual player? People who bash on the wnba or Angela Reece are always so proud of their opinion; like somehow that makes them the smartest one in the room. The WNBA is a competition amongst the best of that particular demographic, that's the point of it's existence. Some people like it, most do not. Disliking it doesn't make you special, it makes you average.
I call em as I see em. My eyes and those of many would agree. She's just not a good basketball player. Are there good women players in the WNBA? Most definitely. Reece just looks the most out of place of them all. This isn't coming from some wayciss mysogonistic angle. She's just terrible at basketball. She's a good defender and mebounder and that's where it stops.
Yeah, what you're saying isn't making sense. In back-to-back sentences you say she's terrible at basketball but a good defender and rebounder. Those are two really important skills to have in basketball and you're saying she's good at both...but still terrible at basketball. Her coach would read your post and either think you're looking for a reaction out of summer boredom or you're having mini-strokes.
"I'm telling ya, she's terrible at basketball but good and that's where it stops." Huh?
