Meltdown in the WNBA: Angel Reese GOES OFF After Harsh Criticism Declares Her ‘Worst Shooter in History’ — Sparks Outrage Across League

Tensions just exploded in the WNBA as Angel Reese, one of the league’s most talked-about rookies, found herself at the center of a brutal controversy. In a scathing analysis that’s already gone viral, a top sports commentator labeled Reese as the “worst shooter in WNBA history” — and the fallout has been nothing short of nuclear.

The comment came during a nationally televised segment where a panel of analysts ranked rookie performances. While some praised Reese’s rebounding and hustle, one commentator dropped the bomb:

“Reese is a phenomenal athlete, no doubt. But statistically, we may be witnessing the worst shooting season in league history.”

That clip immediately set social media on fire — and not in a good way.

Within minutes, Reese clapped back on X (formerly Twitter), posting:
“Y’all got me messed up. I came from the bottom, worked for EVERYTHING. I’m not your puppet or your punchline. Say it to my face.”

The tweet gained over 500,000 likes in under an hour, but the real shock came when Reese went live on Instagram later that night — visibly emotional, visibly angry.

In the livestream, she didn’t hold back:
“I’m tired of being disrespected. Every time I step on the court, I give my all. But I’m still just the ‘problem,’ the ‘attitude,’ the ‘bad shooter.’ Where was this energy when I was leading LSU to a title?”
She added, “I know I’m not perfect. But worst in history? That’s beyond disrespectful — that’s personal.”

Reese’s meltdown has divided the WNBA community and beyond. Some fans and former players have rushed to her defense, saying the criticism is rooted in bias — especially toward strong, outspoken Black women in sports. Others, however, believe the comment, while harsh, wasn’t entirely inaccurate.

Statistically, Reese has struggled from the field, particularly in mid-range and free-throw percentages — areas she has openly admitted she’s working to improve. But to be branded the “worst ever”? Many agree that was a step too far.

WNBA legend Lisa Leslie weighed in on the drama, tweeting:
“Constructive criticism is one thing. But public shaming isn’t how we grow this league. Let’s be better.”

Even Caitlin Clark — often seen as Reese’s on-court rival — seemed to show solidarity, liking a post that read:
“Why tear down a young player trying to find her rhythm? Reese will rise. Watch.”

The league itself has not officially commented, but reports say WNBA communications staff are “monitoring the situation closely,” and discussions about media training and protection for rookies are now underway.

This latest outburst adds to what’s already been a rollercoaster season for Angel Reese, who’s become a polarizing figure since entering the league. From viral highlights to fierce criticism, she’s been under a microscope — and now, it seems, she’s had enough.

But here’s the twist: despite all the negativity, Reese’s following is only growing. Her authenticity, raw emotion, and refusal to be silenced are winning her fans who see her as a fighter in a league — and world — that too often demands perfection.

Whether she rebounds from this moment or lets the pressure break her will be one of the biggest storylines to watch this season.

One thing’s for sure: Angel Reese isn’t going quiet anytime soon.

This is personal now — and the fire has officially been lit.
