Angel Reese ‘always the victim’ says Jason Whitlock after her response to Caitlin Clark following Sunday’s tense showdown

Jason Whitlock claimed Angel Reese is delusional and has a victim mentality after her comments about Sunday’s loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

Reese would go 0-2 against her college rival in the WNBA after Indiana defeated Chicago 91-83 in a rematch of their June 1 game, which the Fever won 71-70.

Postgame, the former LSU star, claimed the referee was working against the Sky and suggested referees have a “special whistle” that favors the opposition.

“The ‘special whistle’ is not what’s interesting,” Whitlock said of Reese’s comments. “This is: ‘We will not be turned away no matter what you try to do.’

‘She thinks the media is against her. Misleading. Always a victim,” he added.

While Chicago played a good first half against the Fever, the second half saw them fall apart in their second loss to Clark and Co. Although the game remained largely within reach, the Fever sealed the victory late in the match.

Reese and Clark’s first WNBA showdown was riddled with controversy after Chicago’s Chennedy Carter checked the No. 1 overall pick after appearing to say “you b****.”

A clip also appeared of Reese cheering after her teammate’s hard foul on Clark.

Much of their second match in the pros revolved around Reese’s flagrant 1, hitting Clark in the head as she tried for a layup in the third quarter.

After losing to Caitlin Clark and the Fever, Reese claimed that referees have a “special whistle.”

“I think we played really hard,” Reese said. “I think a lot of times we’ve been up really high and we haven’t gotten a lot of calls.”

“And looking back on the film, I saw a lot of calls that weren’t made,” she continued. “I guess some people have a special whistle.”

Nevertheless, the Fever recorded their fifth win of the season, with Clark flirting with a triple-double performance. The former Iowa sensation had 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.

Despite the loss, Reese also put up good numbers with 11 points and 13 rebounds in 31 minutes. No. 3 draft pick Kamilla Cardoso also posted a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Chicago has lost its last four games and has a record of 4-9. On the other hand, Indiana won consecutive games for the first time this season and moved to 5-10.
