Angel a rookie went head up with the best player in the league. Guarded her the entire game...And finished with 18p..11 reb herself....She definitely got heart....Aja is ridiculous
blessings to Angel Reese and Aja Wilson...exciting to watch them both
Ya, Angel give me another Reese’s Cup played great D, right? Held Aja to a pitiful 31 pts. 😁
It’s ironic how people talk about AR’s lack of offensive skills when in fact she has outscored CC in the last two games. She potentially could run away with ROTY.
@@cali2468come on don’t do that.. just highlight Reese
@@cali2468😂😂😂
A'ja Wilson
31 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Blk, 2 Stl
*#AW* *#LasVegas* *#Aces* *#WNBA*
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
She’s the BEST player in the league on a really good team…Angel had 18-11 and her 9th straight double double, not bad for a rookie
The future goat learning from the present goat. Aja Wilson is us Sympathy Clark fans 😂
Aja is like that! Why isn't she plastered all over sports media talk shows?
AJA had 3 block
@@jwallace6158 cause on court skills don’t equal marketability unfortunately.
Reese definitely held her own in this game, but A'Ja is another level and i feel Reese will get there sooner than later.
"Sooner than later", indeed.
@@WhatTheSneakers Why not later than sooner.
@@WhatTheSneakers Also be careful what you say. The Italian Mafia could be watching, you never know.
Truth

Wilson is final boss material. Lord have mercy
A’ja Wilson Ball Out game when?
😂 Shao Khan of the W.
😂 facts
Nah fr, I've seen her practice clips. But this is first time seeing her recently in game and she's no joke
Oni man
Been waiting to see this matchup. Wilson is just the best in the league but Reese is showing promise. I’d like to see how this matchup looks in a few years
#AW on fire as always and #AR is coming along.....great game
This is interesting. If Reese developed long range shots, I still don't think she can be a small forward. She's suitable as center or power forward.
@@rollerphone Probably power forward. She's too small to be a center.
*A’ja makes it look so easy*
Mother teaching her daughter the game. Like to see more of this match up.
Love this
Angel will get better
Mother? LOL
@@GoatedAtNFSa’ja is Reese’s old mentor and used to call her daughter back in the day.
Aja is only 27..
A’ja Wilson is easily a W hall of famer, Angel as a rookie played really well against a good defensive team and even better player, hope she took notes and develops a jumper and she could be next.
To guard the best player in the league the whole game as a rookie shows a lot of heart gotta respect Angel Reese.
Angel did Angel things and bossed out, but she did not guard my girl the whole game. They tried multiple people and they all started to get in foul trouble and were rotated out. Angel included. Both Aja and Angel are the queens of drawing contact
@@shonp3761 angel literally guarded her the whole 1st half. Second half they tried different things which is normal when a great player gets going on somebody 1v1.
@@shonp3761 With that being said angel still guarded her. So would you rather me say angel guarded her “majority of the game” or “more than her other teammates” what would make you feel better please let me know ?
@@mikee3261 I am saying be accurate duh. and she did guard her , and it wasn't a majority of the game even. She actually didn't do too bad except for fouls and then she couldn't be as effective because of fouls. And even that wasn't just her, it was anyone they had on Aja, because accuracy. Thx for coming to my Ted Talk
@@mikee3261 in which she scored how many points? How many times was she fouled??? Anywho, there are 4 halves...subtract 1 , subtract bench time (due to said fouls) and you get what? I am just glad she got her 9th DD. LOl. She had me worried for a few mins. I am an Angel fan (unless she is playing the Aces), then I want her to do well, but lose LOL.
FYI: Angel Reese becomes the fastest player in WNBA history to record 200+ points, 175+ rebounds, and 25+ steals.
That's dope. She is living up to her expectations.
The Caitlin fans aren't gonna like those numbers
CC is the hero of white males rn 🤣 they compared her wnba experience to Jackie Robinson 🤦🏾♂️@@jordandennis1699
😲
CC0 stans aren't gonna like that
what did we expect, The Aces are one of the top teams in the W & are also the reigning two time champs for a reason. A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray & Kiah Stokes were on fire tonight. at least The Sky were very competitive against them instead of it being a blowout or a beatdown.
Aces blew tf outta the Fever then again Fever have a horrible team around Clark. Surprised Sky don’t have a better overall record honestly
Angel played great. Aja is walking bucket
18 and out of the 11 at least 8 were her missed shots under the rim
@britt ok and it’s other rookies out there still hurting they team turning the ball over as I type this getting cooked by jewel loyd the real State Farm girl…
@@brittanywilson9361 Thats a lie she had 5 oreb and 6 dreb in this game.
@@brittanywilson9361 you're not even smart enough to look at the box score before making your comment.
Just that simple
Angel Reese outrebounded the leading rebounder tonight.
Angel Reese is now the leading rebounder lol
Facts💯
And somehow all of those were her own misses is what someone’s is gonna say lol
A’ja had 23 at the half!!
She was in her bag today! The footwork and moves to make the bucket out of what initially was impossibility was ridiculously too good!
Aces was handing out BLOCKS all game!!!
Angel played a good game with the boards and second point plays! For her to guard A’ja and still get her a double-double is outstanding!
man Kiah was a block queen....6 like dayum
No comparison. A’ja is the most complete player in the league
You're right a rookie compared to a 2 time MVP is no comparison. Amazing observation 😂
Yes she is a absolute beast
They say Stewie is better
@@JaminT.Jaddua I love Stewie, however no. Stewie cannot play all out for a full game and not be gassed and effective. She can also be made a non factor by defense without a double team.
But noone cares boring...clark better show
A’ja is a footwork tutorial🔥🔥🔥
Angel Reese is going to have a bright future
No she won't. She will always claim to be a "victim". That makes for an unhappy life.
Angel Reese went up against A'ja Wilson and still dropped a healthy 9th straight double double.
Mostly on rebounding her own missed layups. Lol.
@@steverenom.299 83% of her overall rebounding is DEFENSIVE. Why do you lie so effortlessly?
@@steverenom.299bro live your own life. Stop just repeating what everyone else says.
@@TurnFromWickedness Because almost 20% of her rebounds are from her own missed shots.
@@steverenom.299 If 83% are defensive rebounds that means 17% are offensive. It’s statistically impossible for all 17% to be from her own shots given the last few game, majority of her rebounds were from her teammates missed shots. See stat below.
Second Chance Points:
Angel Reese: 3.4
Kamilla Cardoso: 2.5
Rickea Jackson: 1.3
Aaliyah Edwards: 1.2
Cameron Brink: 0.9
Caitlin Clark: 0.7
Jacy Sheldon: 0.3
This is how you take youngsters to school. Aja has a decent jump shot, that's what Reece needs to improve on.
All credit to Reese for improving her game from college to the pros.
However she will never develop an all round game with deep shooting. Again credit her for knowing her limitations and maximising what she is
The bad boy Detroit Pistons will send everyone to the local hospital. Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer will spank both the Sky and the Aces. Just ask Lisa Leslie.
Reese is doing great and is still rookie of year so far…jumper will come with time
@@BenWick-oc8pv I think she will, we'll see.
@@BenWick-oc8pvyall said that about her talent translating to the w too
I love the toughness of Angel Reese.
Marina Mabrey with 21 pts, Chennedy Carter with 20 pts, Angel Reese with 18 pts & Lindsay Allen with 10 pts. we need for the other Sky players to show up against The Aces. fingers crossed we at least do well against The Lynx on Sunday but I'm doubtful they will win that game. But let's stay positive Sky Fans!!
Cardoso sucked!!
@@dot0422She looked kinda intimidated. She'll do better over time though.
@@dot0422She’s coming off an injury so sometimes it takes a min to get your mojo back.
@@dot0422 She was only facing off against one of the best WNBA players of all-time currently in her prime... Cut her a little slack.
@ryan nah she has been bugging on defense…have you been watching last three games…I gave her pass last game though because she came thru clutch in the foourth on d but she definitely has to tighten up…had me tight
The star vs the rookie ⭐️🔥 Aja vs Angel matchup is going to be must-watch for years to come!
Cardosa will have to get more potent on the board and get some hustle about herself.
It's real she can't play her game with Reese in cause they both paint players.
If Duncan and Robinson, Mcgee and Howard, Chandler and Nowitzki, Garnett and Perkins and Gasol and Odom CAN ALL figureout hoow to play their roles togetherthen so can 'Doso and Reese. Pay closer attention bro.@@prenticewilson5133
I thought I was the only one seeing that she didn’t even look like she was part of the game it’s like she out there lost or smth I don’t know if cause she ain’t got no space cause her n Reese out there but they need to find a way to use her
@@prenticewilson5133Coach shouldn’t take them off at the same time. Leave one on😢
@@mauricerelerford5381yea I agree keep in mind that she just came back from injury I think she will do great as the season progressed
Aces chemistry and shooting is on another level on top of have Aja taking those girls back to the classroom. Good effort by the Sky though.
A'Ja is the leading rebounder and had 6 rebounds and Angel had 11 rebounds. The Aces ,have a lot of talent. Diamond Deshields was hurt. Thw next game will be better
If Angel didn't settle down, Aja was going for a 50 burger. I'm happy to see she adjusted in the second half
I haven’t seen to many with that type game Aja Wilson next level
A'ja and them Aces too good. Reese did her stuff. Carter, Mabrey. It's just levels to this.
A'ja's footwork is top-tier. She's reminds me of the Black Mamba😱
Wilson is so smooth. Wow she's the best player in the league by a wide margin.
Sky played well based on talent level. Need some guards that can compliment Carter Reese and Cardosa
FACTS💯🔥
MAN WHAT A DYNASTY.. A'JA IS A BEAST
Man...I look at the way Asia moves...I think she's big enough, strong, enough, and mobile enough to actually play in the NBA. Shes the one woman on earth that I think could physically hold her own in the NBA athleticly
you're out your mind...
@@ezekwu I mean not really. they don't even play full game defense in the NBA...LMMFAO
@@shonp3761 she wouldn't last 5 minutes in the NBA...
A’ja is a dawg but she couldn’t hold her own against top tier high school boys teams
@@ezekwu She would last until the last 2 when they decide to play defense....which is why the NBA has literally been declining in viewership since the 90's (facts matter) and more people watch college WBB then the NBA, but boohhoo to your mama because again facts matter
I didn’t know A’Ja was this good. She’s relentless
Better late than never
SHE TAUGHT REESE A LESSON THIS GAME 😂 IT HAPPENS
Of course she did. Aja is the best player in the league right now. Reese is a rookie.
Of course she did. Aja is the best player in the league right now. Reese is a rookie who just got her 9th straight double double.
Angle did not bag down or fold!! One thing you have to understand is that playing the best makes you a much stronger player, and it shows you the abilities you have to be a champ like AJA.
@@stacylove9598 SO TRUE 👍🏾 LOVE WHERE THE WNBA GOING IM A FAN
@@dot0422You mean REESE!
A'ja Wilson and Angel Reese got to see each other in the offseason

Angel Reese will improve, even guys like Giannis in their rookie season were a completely different player by year 3
why can't you talk about women without bringing in men, smh...
Aja fot really good footwork
I can see Angel working with Aja in the off season. AW game is the ideal game game Reese should strive for. As a smaller big, she is a great rebounder and good defender, but the midrange like AW will do her offensive game good. Cant take those hits downlow forever.
@2:40 beautiful seal and tuff finish💪.
Another great double double for Angel. But A’ja and the rest of the Aces were too much. As a Sky fan we will bounce back.
Listen, Aja Wilson is something special. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Let's be clear angel is no aja and when it's all said and done ANGEL WILL BE THAT PLAYER FOREAL SHE WILL GET IT DONE I GIVE HER A YEAR PLEASE BELIEVE ME NEXT YEAR WILL BE HER YEAR PERIOD ❤❤❤❤❤LOVE THE WNBA FOR LIFE BIG FAN FOR LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤
Say what u want. They post up more than the dudes.
"I'm a dog!" "They come watch me too"
She is and they do 😂❤
Barking like the big bad wolf but crying like courage the cowardly dog 😂😂
9th double double lol
A Wilson is just different she’s improved her game a lot Angel will catch up if she puts the work in offensively she needs a mid range game
Angel is not going to be able to create off the dribble like A'ja... that's not in her skillset... Angel plays more like Shaq...
A'ja plays more like Lebron. Angel can get more out of a spot up jumper than she could out of a fall away jumpshot. think Pau Gasol
I fought many of ppl over Angel's skills "translating" to the W...But, look at her! Doing the same shh she was doing at LSU on a bigger stage and improvedly so. Angel has skills that are not teachable, and not purely athletic. She got it from playing Volleyball. She has a knack of positioning her body underneath the ball, spacing with her body, and knowing what english to put on the ball for the shot she's taking.The best thing she CAN pick up from A'ja is the drop step, and power head fake. A'ja is A'ja for a reason. Angel just needs to be the best Angel
Angel will develop her game just like A’ja
A’JA REALLY A DAWG!!!
Aja is the truth on and off the court!!!❤
ACES fan here. However, this was a great game!!!!! To Angel Reese, the best is yet to come!!! You have a bright future!!!!
Thank you! All these casuals on here complaining about Angel. She’s a ROOKIE playing against the BEST! I’m a huge Angel fan, but not for a minute did I think the Sky would win vs the Aces. I just wanted to see how Angel would compete against the best. If she could get a double double on them. And she DID! So that’s a WIN for the rook.
@loisperez1722 Angel was not intimidated. She played her game!!! I'm very proud of her!!!
That last one is the starting of a hive-mind rebound duo attack! Milla's boxed-out but tap feed to Angel on the other flank was something I can't wait for more of
A'ja Wilson is different. I'm not seeing things,but if y'all watch her ball 💯 does it ALL ,man she to nice , name it she does THAT
Watched A'ja since her freshman year at SC, just gets better and better. a REAL champion/winner!
Kamilla looked kinda soft in this game. Maybe the moment was too bright for her.
A’Ja is a Goddess in South Carolina…I have the feeling that Cardoso may have been star struck for most of the game
@@tre0820 I think so also.
Kamilla is one of the reasons I started to watch women’s basketball.. With that being said she’s not the dog type.
@@Willworld. Imma go ahead & assume that she got caught up in a moment. I still believe in her abilities to defend & be effective.
Shes a rookie, I think people have way too much expectation because Reese and Clark have been super rookies they expect that from.every othe rookie. Cardoso will be good by year 2 or 3 not now
Angel Reese is better than CC
I wish you wouldn’t make AR greatness about the other girl
I'm convinced AR fans are obsessed with CC. I've lost count of how many times I've seen AR fans bring up Clark's name out of nowhere.
@@artdogg50 I convinced both sides are obsessed ;funny what you can see from the outside
@@JelaniBrown-lx2us Well you’re wrong. Reese fans are Clark stalkers
@@artdogg50 you just realized this? Angels fans can’t stop talking about Clark
Can’t expect angel to be able to
Do anything with Aja she’s hands down best player in wnba and I don’t think it’s close at all
Mane I been waiting on this matchup and A’JA took them to school. Hopefully this was a great opportunity for Angel Reese and Cardoso to get better
Wilson post middy goes crazy 🔥 looking like dirk, reese take notes
My two babies ❤😍
Man would've loved seeing A'Ja vs a Prime Candace Parker.
I ain't gone lie Candace Parker was different, she'll grab da board lead the fastbreak dribble crossover into a middy pull up
@@ke3yl0w8 yep. Candace was a beast.
A’ja bag different bro. Can score at all three levels
Everyone knows Aja is the BEST player in the league. Let's also not forget Aces have 4 OLYMPIANS on their team. But still, Angel Reese defended the league mvp the MAJORITY OF GAME when she was in and still put up a DOUBLE DOUBLE 💪... Reese didn't back down!
A'ja Wilson could come off the bench in the NBA and hold her own in limited minutes. She's that good. Her bag has a bag.
Alright bro you going to far now
@@waynedillworth7013 🤣🤣🤣 I did say limited minutes. As in when the team is up by 40 in the 4th 🤣
Brian da don- ok bruh now you trippin big time, A’ja is only 6’3” there is no way in the world she’s doing anything in the post in the NBA with all 7 footers, you guys on here be saying the dumbest things 🙄
Waynedillworth- facts! Buddy lost his mind, A’ja at 6’3” going against Wemby at 7’5, AD at 7ft, Jokic at 7’1”, or any post player A’ha will get destroyed then demolished…these folks on here will say the wildest 💩
@@Bran-Da-Don A’ja is a dawg but she couldn’t hold her own with top tier high school boys teams
When Reese gets comfortable going left, it's gone be hard to stop her on the low block.
Why does the league not market A’ja better?
Aja is really good. Special player.
Good Game ladies..Currently watching #Fever vs #Sky 🔥🔥🔥
A’ja is so fun to watch and the talent wow!! Angel held her own!! Glad the Sky didn’t get blown out they were looking good against this Super team 💯
Reese is going to be such a beast when she get that NBA experience.
Asia play moves like Lebron. She's the one we should be talking about
The Rookie vs The Vet !! Aja Wilson is still reminding the world she’s still WNBA #1 basketball player. But Angel Reese & Cat Clark are bringin their alphaness to the game of women basketball
Wilsons turn around mid jumpers are 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Angel Reece be balling with her 2 inch vert lol
I love how the analyst says ANGEL REEEEEESE😂😂😂😂
A'ja is A'ja and nobody's better than that but Reese showed that she is more than a dawg. Add another double double to the record. She's definitely my ROTY
I sometimes get these two confused. They wear the same thing, look the same, and have almost similar names.
18 Points 11 Rebounds from Reese! I'll take that against the 4 OLYMPIANS and the Best player in the league. REESE ROTY 💪
So I watched the whole game no excuses Aja would’ve cooked regardless but the Refs called a foul on Angel 2 minutes into the game so she couldn’t play as aggressive as she usually do. Aja is the best player in the league it’s not close.
We couldn’t get more than 4min video!? Cmon!
Everybody got the business from Aja... no discrimination...😅
One thing... those 2 fouls in the 1qtr really impacted ARs defense
Reese you Held Your Own Good Game…o yea….Another Double Double💪🏾💪🏾
A’ja is just a bucket! So skilled!
A'ja Wilson playing with her food as usual, but both teams were competitive, and it was an entertaining basketball game.
A'ja is just tremendous & unstoppable...!!!
Aja out there making Cardoso and Reese really look like rookies😂😂
Because they are, but Angel Reece has had 9 straight double doubles, rookie record

but cardosa had 5 points y'all say nothing about her smh mannn
Them all #22 fans hating
@@EricD-pj4wp it's just ridiculous at this point
Cardoso took 6 shots, Reese 16. D in math or something?
@@comradeyellow6781 yea someone has to be aggressive and score also you conveniently left out the rebounds but of course you would.
@@jaywork5375 here we go again with the fanboys brigade. So jacking up shots in the air is "being aggressive"? That's a level of spinning arguments unheard of before. If she'd pass the ball more to Marbrey, Carter or Cardoso they would score more and win games. And don't even give me the rebounds argument cause grabbing boards it's what she's being doing since her first year of college, that's a given, what else can she do? Plus she's a big. Simps man
That's Angle Dray!!! She'll learn a lot today! She's playing with some tough women basketball 🏀 players. TAKE NOTES ANGLE!!!!
Reese definitely held her own. A’Ja by far is the best player in the dub. It’s obvious that A’ja studied a lot of post moves and footwork of past greats. I feel Angel will do the same in the off season. Great game!
WNBA is basically The NBA in the 60s and 70s. ✅
Aja so skilled. Angel just a hustler, once they figure out the second chance rebounding scoring method form her she won’t have points. Needs to work on her game
As Cardozo develops a reliable 2 to 7 ft J, things will get precipitously difficult to guard her. Dribble Spin fade a way. Quick dribble stepback J will open up, up and pump fakes. At 6'7", a quick/high release forces defenders to jump out of position. Opening for dribble penetration and dribble side step J.
She does not have ups, but, her natural stature is more of an advantage because with tactics, she can force an athletic defender off the ground as her feet are still firmly planted as she dribble steps into a less contested shot or attacks the rim with the defender in the air.
Boy ESPN quiet as a mouse Miss Wilson from South Carolina baby and we love the aces
Born, raised, played HS and college ball in Columbia, South Carolina!
A’ja really the goat
Aja a 🐐
My Baby A’ja got my Lil baby Angel looking like a lil baby😅😅

Good game. Aja commands respect out there particular from Kamila both are South Carolina Alums.
@2:01 - Cardoso is looking like, "She's too goowd."
Sweet!!!! Women basketball have came a long way. We had great games but not great opportunities but was just as good. I’m happy to see them getting the recognition women deserve. Reese and Clark definitely got everyone motivated to ball out
