Last-Tear Poa Takes A Shot At Angel Reese’s Haters
Despite all her stellar shows, Reese has been one of the stars who has found herself amidst constant controversies. However, as per her former LSU teammate, the Chi-Town Barbie deserves a lot of respect for her impact on the sport.
“I might get hate for this, but she’s the main reason why women’s basketball changed that year. She brought intensity and stood on business. I loved playing with Angel. I wish I could again. She taught me a lot, on and off the court. Being the point guard, when I got the ball, she was running, she made things easy. And if we shot, she’d get the rebound. Her shoulders were heavy, but she wore that crown to the top,” said Poa.
