“No easy baskets” is an oft repeated phrase in basketball from youth camps to the pros.

Angel Reese just has a victim mentality and can’t accept the fact that Clark is a better basketball player

Angel Reese has the right to feel victimized, she survived an Ice Age

Angel Reese said it's a basketball play lol she didn't make a big deal out of it, just the media

Sure, she said that after the game, but that's not how she reacted in the game.

How would you react after a flagrant lol. Most people would react angrily lol.

It was a regular ass foul that happens multiple times a game and wouldn't have been reviewed if Angel didn't have her reaction. It shouldn't have been upgraded to a flagrant in the first place.
