“Women Can Play as Hard as the Men”: Impressing A’ja Wilson and Rest of the WNBA With Fierceness, Angel Reese Issues Warning for the ‘Haters’

With the NCAA tournament fast approaching, teams in Division I have already started their preparation for the new season. Many squads have had a revamp in the off-season. While the men’s basketball tournament will garner a lot of interest, the women’s division has picked up its pace in recent years. The likes of Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and Cameron Brink have elevated the popularity of the sport. Brink, who recently snubbed her god-brother’s company for a Boston based brand, will be looking to make a bigger name for herself this season as both Angel and Caitlin enter their final years in college.

Despite their rivalry during the NCAA women’s basketball Finals last season, both Caitlin and Bayou Barbie continue to be the face of their Division with Angel Reese becoming even a bigger star after her triumphant season earlier this year. The 6’4 star, who received plenty of plaudits from former WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, recently hit out on all her ‘haters’ as she looks to change the demographic of women in sport.

LSU’s Angel Reese sends a rallying cry as she issues a warning for the ‘haters’

During LSU’s recent media day preparations, star forward Angel Reese discussed many subjects, including the rise of women’s basketball in recent years. Reese has been instrumental in helping fuel the rise in popularity of women’s college basketball. She issued a warning to all ‘haters’ as she believed that the rise in popularity of the women’s game is now inevitable.

The 6’4 star, who helped LSU win their first women’s basketball NCAA title last season, has gained a huge following and has been recognized for her fierceness by NBA and WNBA players alike.

This particular trait of Reese’s could be seen during her interview as she spoke on the changing demographic of women in sports stating, “I am sure it is hard they don’t want to accept that women are changing the game and that women can play as hard as men. Of course, it is going to be hard to accept but we kind of give them no choice at this point.”
