WNBA Stars Angel Reese & DiJonai Carrington Drop Truth Bomb About What Comments From Fans Bother Them The Most

'I didn't get my money back' - Angel Reese's first WNBA fine left Lonzo Ball even better than his word | talkSPORT

WNBA stars Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington do not appreciate comments from fans about their looks.

Reese completed her rookie season with the Chicago Sky after being drafted No. 7 overall out of LSU. Carrington, meanwhile, is heading into her first season with the Dallas Wings after a trade from the Connecticut Sun.

Both players have participated in 3-on-3 Unrivaled basketball this season, with Reese representing Rose BC and Carrington featuring for Mist BC.

They recently linked up for an episode of the former’s podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel,’ during which they discussed the criticism they were subjected to last season.

“It’s hard, especially as two black women are unapologetic, we’re going to pop our s**t and say what we have to say. And I stand on what we said. I feel like it’s really hard,” Reese said.

“They be real loose at the mouth,” Carrington claimed. “I know they think it’s trolls, but it’s not just trolls. It be people that we see in real life.”

In the darkest heart of the offseason, we’ve found some compelling basketball issues to talk about.

We had to fight the basketball gods a little to get it to happen, so forgive some minor glitchiness, we think you’ll enjoy this week’s pod even with the struggle.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Boston gets to work teambuilding with Gallinari deal, Brogdon trade with Kory Waldron
The Boston Celtics were, by most accounts, not going to make much if any moves until the weekend got here. But whether that was a smoke screen or whether a happy accident set the Celtics team building wheels into motion, the team that represented the NBA’s Eastern Conference in the 2022 NBA Finals just got quite a bit better. It started with the team landing long-coveted veteran wing Danilo Gallinari, and went into hyperdrive with the trade for Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon, the Celtics sending out a top-12 protected first-round pick, center Daniel Theis, wing Aaron Nesmith, and three rarely-played deep rotation players. To get a feel for how Brogdon will impact a Finals squad that gave up no core players to bring on the Indiana floor general, we brought on host of the Off the Glass “Full Access Pacers” podcast, Kory Waldron. Your usual hosts Alex Goldberg and Justin Quinn linked up with Waldron to talk all things Brogdon trade, Celtics team building, and plenty more offseason action.

Boston snatches victory from the jaws of defeat in Game 6 with Greg Brueck-Cassoli
With the Boston Celtics’ season — and perhaps much more — on the brink in Game 6 of their 2023 Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics needed to put it all out on the court for a win. And somehow, despite a 0-of-10 first half for Jayson Tatum that saw the Duke alum put up just one make from the floor in the third quarter and 18 turnovers for the team, Boston did exactly that. A shift back to the defense-first, double-big lineup of Al Horford and Robert Williams III paid early dividends, and despite things coming a bit unglued for much of the middle of the game, Tatum getting hot from 3 late saved the season and perhaps more. To talk about the improbable, dramatic win for the Celtics, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with High Off the Glass’ Greg Brueck-Cassoli. We also (very) briefly touch on the other series around the 2023 NBA Playoffs and look ahead to Game 7 on Mother’s Day at TD Garden.

Reese would add that fan comments on her appearance upset her.

“I hate when people say that, ‘Oh she’s too worried about her makeup and her hair and her lashes and her nails and her outfits,’” Reese said.

Carrington said she isn’t all that bothered but “hates” it when people take issue with her blonde hair.

“I hate when people talk about that, like, ‘Why do you have blonde hair?’” she said. “I got black eyebrows. I got black arm hair, black leg hair … and I don’t care. I’m still a natural blonde.”

Do Angel Reese & DiJonai Carrington Try Too Hard To Look Feminine?

The former Tigers star suggested that players like her and Carrington receive criticism for putting too much effort into looking feminine, also knocking back the notion that the WNBA is mostly made up of lesbians who date each other.

“‘I’m not watching that WNBA. Masculine, long shorts, they’re wearing braids. They all like each other. They all date each other.’ That’s not true,” she said with a laugh, given that Carrington is actually dating WNBA player NaLyssa Smith.

Both Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington got plenty of stick for the rough defense they played on Caitlin Clark in 2024, but they steered clear of mentioning the Indiana Fever star during their chat on said podcast.
