You lost because you didn't codify DOGE, you didn't arrest anyone for Covid-the laptop-the raid-J6, etc, you didn't pass the Save Act, you didn't stop the fraud and abuse that's rampant, etc, etc, etc
Have said this since college…Rodman without the same basketball IQ…
Since Angel is taking a step back this offseason to focus on herself, I thinks it’s a good time to drop this gem.
The more you actually look at Angel Reese’s numbers, the more ridiculous this entire SUPERSTAR narrative really becomes.
We’re talking about a player who’s essentially the WNBA version of Andre Drummond, since we’re love this NBA comparison thing so much.
An ELITE rebounder, no one’s taking that. One of the best rebounders the league has ever seen. But outside of rebounding, what exactly are we celebrating here? You cannot point to one single thing.
A post player shooting 51% TRUE SHOOTING despite taking the overwhelming majority of her shots around the basket. For context, that’s ABYSMAL, anyone else wouldn’t see the floor with that. UNPLAYABLE.
An 18% turnover rate from someone who isn’t even responsible for running an offense.
We’re watching a player struggle with some of the most BASIC aspects of offensive basketball, yet somehow she’s being marketed and discussed as one of the premier talents in women’s basketball. Her game is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
If you stripped away the celebrity, the social media following, and the manufactured superstar narrative, nobody would even be having these conversations.
Angel Reese is an elite rebounder with significant offensive limitations. That’s not hate. That’s an evaluation.
The gap between the player Angel Reese ACTUALLY is and the player her supporters desperately want everyone to believe she is might be the biggest disconnect in the entire WNBA.
Truth. Objective coaching perspective….
I support Angel Reese because I love women’s basketball. I want her to succeed because she helps move the needle, and I enjoy watching talented, competitive players push the sport forward.
That doesn’t put her above criticism.
She played horribly during parts of these Finals, and there’s plenty to critique: finishing, shot selection, turnovers, and stretches where her offensive execution simply wasn’t good enough.
Rebounding matters so much to the game……BUT so does what happens after you get the ball.
Supporting her doesn’t require defending every possession, every decision she makes, or every reaction she has. I can respect her competitiveness and still question how she handles certain moments.
Two things can be true at once.
Some people think support requires making excuses for her. Others think criticism requires personal hatred.
Both groups need to grow up.
I love the sport enough to take her game seriously. That means giving her credit and holding her accountable. Some will only do one or the other; which is very telling.
I’m rooting for Angel and her growth all around. I’m not applying for her public relations department.
Truth ….now if only the “right” would actually become this ….
This is the best explanation between left and right I have heard in a long time! #RepublicanValues #democraticvalues

Okay so why is it based on the assessed value of your property instead of everyone paying the same exact dollar amount?
