Candace Parker Responds to Allegations of Dislike for Angel Reese

WNBA superstar Candace Parker seeks to maintain positive relations with Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. Reese, who broke Parker’s record for consecutive double-doubles last season, has praised Parker, calling her the G.O.A.T. However, Parker's recent classification of Reese as a “C” tier player during a Complex Sports segment attracted scrutiny, leading some to interpret it as dismissive toward a rising star in the league. During her appearance on the Good Follow podcast, Parker elaborated on her evaluation, stating, “When asked about player tiers, I feel it's vital to support your argument with facts.” She acknowledged Reese’s potential to elevate her game but emphasized the importance of comparing players with more experience. Parker affirmed, “I have great admiration for Angel Reese. She excelled in the role of offensive rebounding, and her growth was impressive in her initial season.” She reiterated her commitment to constructive discussions, urging others to foster respectful dialogues as well.
