      Well, remember it used to be considered racist to see skin color and use it as division. But now you're racist if you don't notice and use skin color. That's what the left does. As soon as they get what they want, they invert it and make it a bad thing.

      Its now DENNIS RODMAN VS. MICHAEL JORDAN! Bird and Magic were equally good at almost anything. Reese has been exposed to not have skills offensively and has compiled more and more funny videos of her missing open layups Multiple times at once! ANd she has to fake and injury to stop all the scrutiny of her game.

    You two trying to make the analogy with Magic and Bird is hilarious. Their rivalry was about East coast vs West Coast and the Lakers vs the Celtics. No one looked at it as black/white. That being said Reese isn't anywhere close to Clark as a player so the only reason anyone mentions her is Angel's social media campaign.

    Question of concerning 3-point shooting: It has been said that now within the UK, USA & especially in the Netherlands - Holland, that the females are growing in numbers and are probably even better at working as skyscraper-construction crane operators; thus, after looking at a number of WNBA Female games, I did notice that seemingly the females would very seldom miss a 3-pointer shot. All said, has anyone in the sports industry made notice of this, have made statements and/or done research pertaining to this, the possibility that females are genetically inclined to be better three-point shooters than males?❤?❤?❤?

    It was a good answer if you're old enough and have paid attention to history. Trying to reduce context to what outcome that you want now and making that square peg get hammered in to that round hole ignores the complexity of the evolution of conflict in relation to our failed economic system. It unfortunately makes a statement that ignores the reality that the majority of humans everywhere are in favor of social justice and marginalizes working peoples voices.

    People that only want to compare REESE to players like Rodman or similar are going to be in for a Rude awakening if REESE comes back fully healthy. REESE is far better then what she has already shown. Which is just the tip of the iceberg. Which is already good enough to qualify her this year as the BEST Rookie. So just imagine what else she will bring, only those that have actually studied her game will ever get that. Reese is a generational Elite 2 Way Player.
