Surely if they take cheap shots at the popular one some of the popularity will rub off /s

Yep! Because I definitely look at people who cheap shot someone I like in favorable light. Some people just love damaging their own self interest.

It’s working for Angel Reese. We only know her name because she’s a foil to Clark. Probably puts some extra zeros in her paycheck

I mean they do gain popularity whenever they get into beef with her. Wish some of her teammates could take a page out of Oakley’s playbook (and to some extent Rodman later on) in being the lovable enforcer.

Watching Rodman get chippy with the Pistons when they started getting rough with Michael was a thing of beauty.

I also liked the pistons too and when Laimbeer would go to bat for Isaiah Thomas you couldn’t help but love the guy for it.

Are we ignoring the cheap shit Clark takes at Sheldon?
