Angel Reese mocked for missing layup repeatedly after comments about WNBA players sitting out for more money

Magic Johnson compares the fierce rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese to his own legendary battles with Larry Bird.

WNBA player Angel Reese may not have helped her negotiating leverage much with a viral lowlight Monday. 

During an Unrivaled game, Reese missed three straight shots while standing right under the basket, and one of the shots hit the bottom edge of the backboard. 

Reese was able to at least come away with two offensive rebounds on the possession but fell to the hardwood after missing her third shot. 

Footage of the sequence quickly spread across social media, and many mocked the timing of it after Reese ignited controversy with recent claims WNBA players may refuse to play games to negotiate higher pay.

Reese and fellow WNBA player DiJonai Carrington addressed the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement during Reese's podcast Friday. 

"I've got to get in the meetings because I'm hearing like, 'If y'all don't give us what we want, we sitting out,'" Reese said.

"The WNBA don't pay my bills at all. I don't even think it pays one of my bills. Literally."

The sports comedy X account "Hater Report" then posted a video of Reese missing the layups with the caption, "Angel Reese DESERVES more money. PAY HER PLEASE."
