To be fixed. And I don’t care if I get fined because this is ridiculous. I am tired of this situation, and I’ve been nice and humble about it, but enough is enough.

Everyone is buzzing right now, wondering what’s really going on with Angel Reese. Has she just flat-out quit again? Has she abandoned the Chicago Sky? Angel Reese is melting down after Reebok cut ties with her for quitting on the Sky mid-season. It was a complete show she put on against the Chicago Sky, walking out on her teammates when things got tough, proving she can’t be trusted. Chicago is falling apart, and Reebok isn’t dumb enough to gamble their brand on a quitter.

This shows a complete lack of leadership. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark has been injured but is still traveling with her team, supporting them from the bench. Angel Reese’s career has gone from hype to humiliation faster than anyone thought possible. Let’s not forget that Reebok once thought she was going to be their golden ticket back into basketball. Shaquille O’Neal himself, the face of the brand, picked Angel Reese as his first big signing. They even compared her to Allen Iverson.

The Washington Mystics just handed the Chicago Sky a brutal loss, and Sonia Citron was out there cooking. Instead of Iverson-level dominance, what Reebok got is the blooper queen of the WNBA. Angel, you need to have some level of self-awareness here.

Angel Reese is not the face of basketball; she’s the face of clown edits. Every time she touches the ball, it’s less about points and more about how fast the clip will end up on TikTok with circus music playing in the background. The situation has become so embarrassing that even Chicago Sky fans, the people who were supposed to support her, are questioning whether she even cares about the sport anymore. And can you blame them? Her team is sitting at 8-24, and she quit on them mid-season, abandoning ship when things got ugly.

You can’t want to be the villain and then succumb to those emotions when you lose. How can you be the supposed franchise face but vanish like a magician in the middle of the year? Reebok saw that and wasn’t about to keep throwing millions at someone who clearly doesn’t have the mentality to finish a season. No brand is going to keep their name attached to someone who walks away when the going gets tough. That’s why Reebok pulled the plug.

Reports say the team even sued Angel Reese after she refused to travel with them for crucial games. We’re not talking about random games against no-name squads; we’re talking about the Indiana Fever, the league’s biggest draw, the team with Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese has thrown in the towel. She refuses to travel with the team. We already saw she refused to travel to Indiana for the Fever game, which was hyped as a major matchup. Instead, she stayed home claiming she had a back injury. But there were no medical updates, no rehab notes—just a mysterious injury card she pulled out the moment the losses started piling up. Fans aren’t stupid; they see it for what it is—an excuse to avoid the humiliation of getting cooked by Clark and the Fever again.

Caitlin Clark isn’t just loved for her skills; she can shoot threes from anywhere. That’s my point. The sad part is this isn’t new for Reese. This is a full-blown pattern. Three straight seasons of quitting mid-year. In 2023, she magically had a wrist injury right after Caitlin Clark started running away with Rookie of the Year. In 2024, suddenly her back is hurt. And in the Unrivaled League, she ghosted her team before the championship game, not even bothering to show up in street clothes to support them. How do you call yourself a competitor when you can’t even stand on the sideline for the biggest game of the season? It’s pathetic.

Once Tishi was eliminated from Rookie of the Year, she claimed her wrist was hurt and didn’t finish the season. The numbers don’t back her up; Chicago is 0-5 without her this season. But here’s the kicker: the team actually looked smoother without her on the floor. Even in losses, the offense had better spacing, better energy, and better ball movement. Without Reese clogging the paint and demanding touches, the Sky offense actually breathed a little. Teammates cut harder, the ball swung cleaner, and players off the bench looked more involved.

Think about that: your supposed franchise star sits out, and the team’s offense looks better. That’s not leadership; that’s a liability. Fans saw it too. They know she abandoned them the second things got tough, and that fake leader image she was trying to build is now completely gone. The Chicago Sky are the gum on the bottom of the league’s shoe. They need Angel Reese to play in games.

And then we get to the on-court clown show against the Washington Mystics. It was a public execution. The Sky lost 103-86 on national TV. Sure, if you only looked at the box score, you’d think Reese had a decent game with 22 points and 13 rebounds. But look deeper: she shot 6 of 16 from the field. That’s trash efficiency for someone who takes almost all her shots inside the paint. She picked up five fouls, hacking at everyone like she was trying out for a WWE audition. Her scoring was padded by hitting 10 out of 11 free throws. Congratulations, Angel, you can stand at the charity stripe. Maybe Reebok can rename her sneaker the “Free Throw One” since that’s the only way she scores consistently.

And then came the viral blooper of the season: a wide-open layup, nobody near her, all the time in the world, and she smacked it off the underside of the backboard like she was trying to file an insurance claim. The commentators literally laughed live on air. Professional broadcasters, trained to keep their composure, couldn’t hold it in. They laughed, then panicked, realizing they were on TV. That’s how bad it’s gotten. Now, Angel Reese’s signature move is what they’re calling it—the “Angel Reese Spin Cycle.”

Meanwhile, rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki absolutely embarrassed her defense. Citron dropped 28 points, and Irifin put up 22 points and 10 rebounds. Together, they made Mystics history as the first rookie duo to score 20 or more each in the same game. They were cooking Reese like she was a backyard barbecue. This wasn’t some random matchup; this was supposed to be Reese’s domain, the paint. Instead, she got torched by two rookies who made her look like she was still playing junior varsity.

And don’t forget the New York Liberty game, which sealed her reputation as a walking blooper reel. Four consecutive missed putbacks in 12 seconds. Yes, four. She grabbed her own rebound and bricked it again and again like she was rehearsing for a blooper montage. The clip went viral instantly. People don’t even need to edit her anymore; she provides the comedy by herself. This is why people are roasting her non-stop. She doesn’t deliver wins; she delivers bloopers.

The worst part is she quit on the Sky in the middle of all this chaos. She walked away when things got ugly, proving to everyone she’s not just inefficient; she’s unreliable. Reebok saw it. They saw their million-dollar investment turning into a meme machine. They watched her abandon the Sky like a bad Tinder date. That’s when they knew they couldn’t trust her with their brand anymore.

As a Sky fan, you’re probably happy you lost by less than 20 points today, and that is embarrassing. The contrast couldn’t be clearer when you put her next to Caitlin Clark. Clark keeps breaking records, selling out arenas, and actually leading her team. She’s not just performing; she’s delivering. Even when she was injured, Clark was still traveling with the team, sitting on the bench, breaking down plays, and supporting her teammates. That’s leadership.

Now, compare that to Reese, who bails out with a mysterious back injury and disappears like she’s in witness protection. One is elevating the game; the other is dragging it into meme territory. I heard she was at practice, but she didn’t travel with the team to the game. That’s kind of whack. The leader of the team is supposed to be there.

The ticket sales tell the whole story. When fans thought they were getting Clark versus Reese, ticket prices for Sky versus Fever hit $100. The second news broke that Clark wasn’t playing, those tickets dropped to $5. You couldn’t even pay for parking with that. That’s the market speaking loud and clear. Clark is the draw; Reese is irrelevant. Nobody’s paying to see bloopers live in person; they can get that for free on TikTok.

Let me just be clear: Candace Parker continuously bringing this up is a bit petty, but it’s not just fans noticing. Legends of the game are watching too. Candace Parker didn’t have to write an essay or go on some rant; she just posted the eyes emoji after one of Reese’s disasters, and that said more than a thousand words. That tiny little emoji hit harder than any headline because it showed exactly how veterans see this situation. They’re not impressed; they’re just watching in disbelief as Reese trips over her own career.

Think about how far she’s fallen. Angel Reese went from being Shaq’s chosen star to the WNBA’s biggest meme in less than two seasons. That’s not just a slump; that’s a collapse. It’s not just about the missed shots; it’s about the repeated pattern of quitting on teams, pulling fake injury excuses, and ghosting when it matters most. She did it in 2023 with the wrist injury, in 2024 with the back excuse, and even in the Unrivaled League by skipping the championship game. This isn’t bad luck; this is who she is, and it’s wrecked whatever credibility she had left.

The Chicago Sky’s lawsuit and their disastrous record sealed the narrative. Her team needed her, and she abandoned them. There’s no sugarcoating it. You can put up all the double-doubles you want, but when your team is sitting at 8-24 and you’ve walked away, you’re not a star; you’re a liability. The face of the franchise isn’t supposed to quit in the middle of the fight, but that’s exactly what she did.

This is ridiculous. The Sky are not just losing; they’re getting smoked by 20, 30, and even 40 points. Reebok, for all their hype and big talk, finally realized what everyone else already knew. They couldn’t risk tying their brand to someone who’s more famous for bloopers than wins. They couldn’t sell a $150 shoe based on missed layups and disappearing acts. Cancelling the deal wasn’t just smart; it was necessary.

Angel Reese is now the perfect cautionary tale. This is what happens when hype meets reality, and the reality is ugly. Quitting kills careers faster than bad stats. Missing shots is one thing; fans can forgive that if you keep fighting. But abandoning your team, quitting mid-season, and then becoming the internet’s favorite joke? That’s career suicide. Unless she somehow stages a miracle turnaround, Angel Reese will always be remembered as the player who lost her team, lost her deal, and lost her reputation in record time.
