Fans were not happy.
WNBA legend Lisa Leslie ruffled some feathers on Sunday night for posting a controversial take on the ongoing Rookie of the Year race between Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese.
Both Clark and Reese put up big performances in their respective games over the weekend as the ROY race continues to heat up.
deserve the Rookie of the Year Award! The pressure and the weight of this season has forever changed the @WNBA and both rookies rose to the top and exceeded all our expectations! Take a bow ladies.”That’s how it is meant to be, this isn’t particularly close but the media has really tried to portray it as such.We as a society need to stop coddling. We need to stop giving out participation trophies. These are two adults and Caitlin has outperformed Reese by a large margin.
Been more valuable to her team & winning. 17-16 vs 11-21. Caitlin has transformed her TEAM while Angel has been an elite rebounder & defender. Being 2nd in ROY isn’t shabby.Respectfully, no Caitlin’s earned the ROTY title. At the beginning of the season everyone was running victory laps with how the fever started and said records only matter when it comes with winning.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
