Angel Reese Breaks Silence on Stat Padding Accusation.
Reese still had a nice performance despite the loss, tallying 17 points and 19 rebounds. She also set the WNBA record for most rebounds in a single season.
During her historic run, many fans have been calling out Reese for how she has reached her high rebounding numbers, saying most of them come from grabbing the ball off her own misses.
After the game, Reese finally addressed this criticism, saying it’s statistically not true.
“Coming into it, I just knew my motor,” Reese said. “Offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds is something that I know I can always do. I knew it was going to translate right away. That’s something a lot of players don’t want to do. A lot of people think it’s because I get my own rebounds, but statistically, it’s not.”
The 6-foot-3 rookie out of LSU then went on to talk about what aspect of basketball wins championships.
“A lot of people think it’s because I’m the tallest on the court when I’m not the tallest on the court,” Reese continued. “Just being able to go down there and being able to bang. Doing things that a lot of people don’t want to do. Defense and rebounding wins championships and I won championships at every level by just doing that.”
Reese won a national championship with the Tigers in 2023, defeating her rival Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
In her rookie season, Reese is averaging 13.3 points and 13.1 rebounds. She is only shooting 37.5% from the field, which is a key factor for fans when calling her out for grabbing her own misses.
