Chapter 2: What happened between Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky?
We've all had losing seasons before. That is what happens. You have to be patient. I was in Atlanta. There was a young team called Las Vegas Aces. I'm dapping the fives. There's this young kid called Asia Wilson. She's crying because they did not make the playoffs. We have a good team. We're making the playoffs. I said to her, I said, be patient. It's coming. Is the rest history?
So we all have to go through those steps sometimes. But here's the main thing. You're not the only one having a bad season. Your teammates are having a bad season too. But here's the difference. Is your teammates, they don't have million dollar deals, endorsement deals. They don't have Shaq advocating for them. Right?
So even though they're having a losing season, one of your teammates might not even see $50,000, $100,000 in their bank account. So you have to take the good with the bad and know that even though you're having a losing season, it's how you say it, but you're so blessed. You have everything in front of you. So as a leader, what you do, you go to the front office at the end, you go see your GMs.
Hey, what can we do? Who can we bring in? What vets can we bring in? You know, Courtney's coming back. That's how you do it, Angel, for the future. What do you think on that, Ross?
Do you think it was it was too early in her career to be delivering this message to like, does she have the clout for that?
Sure. She can deliver. I'm all about saying what you feel. Right. We don't hold stuff in, but it's just how we say. And you never want your teammates to feel like because they're already looking at you like you have everything. Right. Like you said, they don't have million dollar endorsement deals, but they're having to lose in season two. You know what I would do, Angel?
I would get one of my endorsements and say, give me an extra $100,000 so I can give all my teammates $10,000 just to show them I care. I would do stuff like that. That puts you in a limelight of like, wow, let's set this girl up. The owners will look at you like the GMs, and then they'll make sure they set you up for success.
But when it's like, I got to take care of me, don't make it sound like it's just all about you, especially when you're such in a blessed position that other girls will never see. Because they're losing too.
Yeah, no, I think there's a sensitivity that, you know, Angel could move with. And I'm willing to give some grace here, too, because, again, this is a 23 year old. Right. You know, so in unprecedented shoes, like unprecedented attention. Yeah. money-making, popularity. We haven't even seen anything quite like this. This is an unprecedented time for women's sports.

Chapter 3: How are teammates responding to Angel Reese's comments?
I'm like, wow, look at this reverse thing. Because you're going to get old one day and you're going to see how it feels when you're trying to come back. You know, we're trying to get our bodies together. But like you said, she's a legend. You respect your legends as they are. And that's what you got to do.
Yeah. But here's the other side of this, though. Angel wasn't wrong in a lot of ways. No. So I took notes. So Angel's not wrong in that she's handled her individual business. She's a two-time All-Star. How many years has she been in the league? Two. So every year. Yeah. Rewriting record books. She leads this team in points, rebounds, assists.
Like, so this is somebody who's done her part on the court. Has it led to winning? No. Not yet. Not yet. She's not wrong. The franchise has not supported her with stability. Every single season, different coaches, different rosters. She's not wrong. The team constructed a roster this season that collectively and individually has underachieved. Underachieved. She's not wrong.
It is valid to have concern about any 37-year-old coming back from ACL injury. Full stop, period. No matter who it is. And I say 37 because next season, Sloot will be 37. And she's not wrong that the Sky have made many blunders, especially around having a new practice facility. At first, they didn't even commit to it. They've got them practicing in a rec center.
And they finally did commit to making a dedicated practice facility, but it's been heavily delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, to the point where it will not be ready for this offseason, which is critical because you want to recruit players during this free agency of 26 where everybody's a free agent. And you can't use it as a recruiting tool. And you're thinking about Angel's Window.
And she's probably thinking, the time is now, y'all. Let's go.
Right. Right. So organization, y'all got to step it up for these girls. I mean, they deserve it. You can't have Angel Reese and these type of women in a rec center like the value. Right.
I heard you could you could work out at your lunch break and see the Chicago Sky practice. Oh, no, we ain't doing that. I don't know those days. That's crazy.
Those are my times.
