“OVERRATED.” Jason Whitlock’s Live-On-Air Slam on Angel Reese Sparks a Firestorm Across the WNBA

Jason Whitlock’s “Overrated” Comment on Angel Reese Sparks WNBA Firestorm

A routine sports talk segment turned explosive when Jason Whitlock labeled Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese “overrated” during a live broadcast. With the studio falling silent, Whitlock doubled down, calling her “one of the least skilled players in the WNBA” and accusing her of relying on marketing over talent.

He criticized Reese’s athleticism, post-game skills, and half-court performance, claiming her rebounding success was “effort, not skill.” Panelists pushed back, citing her double-doubles and LSU championship, but Whitlock insisted college dominance doesn’t guarantee pro success.

The remark quickly went viral. Social media split into camps — some praising Whitlock for “telling the truth,” others blasting it as an unfair attack on a young player. Former WNBA stars and NBA voices like Draymond Green and Kendrick Perkins also weighed in, with Perkins calling it a “media assassination.”

Reese responded indirectly, telling reporters, “I’ve heard worse. I’ll see you on the court,” later posting, “Talk less. Work more.”

With a high-profile rematch against the Sky approaching, Whitlock’s one-word critique has ensured her next game will be under intense scrutiny.
