Angel Reese hits back at trolls after Dave Portnoy and WNBA fans mercilessly mocked Chicago rookie

After yet another record-setting night for Angel Reese, she spent time deflecting hate from various sources – including Barstool Sports founder and president Dave Portnoy.

The sports blog founder mercilessly mocked Reese as he shared a clip of her airballing a 3-point attempt to X, formerly known as Twitter. 

‘Nothing but net,’ he captioned the clip, taking a dig at her miss. 

Portnoy later tweeted out a video of Reese being triple-teamed in the paint before drawing a foul. The caption read, ‘Great kick out for the wide open 3!’

But Reese took everything in stride, posting on the social media platform and saying, ‘if it was easy, everybody would be doing it. we good! #skytown’.

One of the people publicly criticizing her after a loss to the Aces was Barstool’s Dave Portnoy

Portnoy has been very vocal about his support of Reese’s college and Rookie of the Year award rival Caitlin Clark – as he live-tweeted during the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday.

Reese finished her game on Sunday with 11 points, 22 rebounds, and one assist in 37 minutes of game time as Chicago lost its third straight game.

This time, they fell on a heartbreaker to the Las Vegas Aces – as Team USA gold medalist A’ja Wilson scored a shot from the paint as time expired to get the win for the two-time reigning WNBA champions.
