Chicago Sky star, Angel Reese was one of the top college prospects entering the 2024 WNBA draft. Since joining the league, Reese established herself as one of the standout performers. Known for her all-around skills on the court, her prowess in rebounding stands out as one of her strongest attributes. Throughout her rookie season, Reese has set numerous rebounding records and solidified her position as one of the league’s top rebounders. Recently, American businessman Dave Portnoy shared his thoughts on Angel Reese and her rivalry with Caitlin Clark.

Dave Portnoy posted an interesting post tweet on his ‘X’ account. In the video, Portnoy talked about the comparison fans are making between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. He even stated that Reese is just a rebounder and has only one job on the court. Later he called Reese ‘poor man’s Dennis Rodman.’ Later he even mentioned the incident where Reese entered the Wintrust Arena wearing a Rodman jersey and called it ‘best NBA comp.’

I still see people like that tweet from Lisa Leslie being like, ‘They’re both Rookie of the Year players.’ They’re not both Rookie of the Years! They’re not and it’s okay. Not everybody is Michael Jordan. Not everyone is Steph Curry. Some people are Andre Drummond. Some people are a poor man’s Dennis Rodman.

Dave Portnoy’s ‘beef’ with Angel Reese is not new. The Barstool Sports founder has had a bone pick with the superstar since her college days. The LSU vs Iowa games always piqued Portnoy’s attention. Fans are not new to the Boston native’s rants on social media.

Portnoy’s comparisons of Reese to Rodman can differ. Dennis Rodman was one of the best rebounders the NBA has ever seen. He studied rebounding extensively and was ready to collect every rebound during the game. Rodman never played much offense and was only there for the defensive and rebounding part. Unlike Rodman, Reese is a great scorer and can both score and rebound on the court.

The Chicago Sky drafted Angel Reese in the hope of transforming the franchise into a championship contender. However, fans have witnessed the Sky endure numerous losses throughout the tournament. Dave Portnoy highlighted the current situation of the Chicago Sky and discussed the impact that Angel Reese has had on the team. The team’s struggles have been evident despite high hopes for success with Reese on the roster.

Portnoy stated that Angel Reese is not bringing much help to the team like Caitlin Clark. He mentioned that Reese is only doing the rebounding for the team and is not playing efficient offense. Portnoy even stated that Reese is one of the worst shooters in the league with an efficiency of 30%. According to Portnoy, the impact that Clark has had on the Fever is significantly greater than that of Reese on Chicago.

Reese has been facing a lot of criticism since entering the league. Many have even accused her of stat padding but no one could deny the talent Reese has on the court. She is certainly on the road to becoming one of the best stars of the WNBA.
