2 MIN AGO: WNBA Reporter DESTROYED Angel Reese Over Caitlin Clark COMPARISON | She’s CRYING NOW!

Angel Reese Criticized on Air: Linda Johnson’s Blunt Takedown Sparks Debate

In a fiery live broadcast, veteran journalist Linda “LJ” Johnson confronted Angel Reese after the Chicago Sky’s loss to the Indiana Fever. Johnson, referencing Caitlin Clark’s 37-point performance, criticized Reese’s earlier claim that she matched Clark in mental and physical toughness.

“You brought a knife to a gunfight,” Johnson stated sharply, triggering a mix of applause and online outrage.

Reese, visibly emotional, remained silent as Johnson accused her of theatrics rather than leadership. The usually bold forward later responded softly, “She misread my intensity. I’m here to compete.”

Social media quickly split: #ProtectAngel supporters condemned Johnson’s tone, while #TruthHurts advocates praised her honesty. Sue Bird weighed in, reminding players: “Consistency earns comparisons to Clark.”

Tuesday’s game saw Clark dominate with precision, while Reese struggled with turnovers and emotion. Johnson’s critique underscored the contrasting styles—and the expectations.

With another Fever-Sky matchup looming, all eyes will be on how Reese responds. Because in today’s WNBA, performance—not talk—defines greatness.
