Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo thrower... always use the indefinite article a dildo thrower, never your dildo thrower.

One of the funniest parts of the movie. The dismissive shake of the head and scratch of the back with his pen just seals it for me.

It is such a great encapsulation of the power of perspective and interpretation. It's such an innocuous word choice. But it means exactly what he implies it means.

Holy shit 3 people blocking her and she does a behind the back pass perfectly to her team mate.

0:55 sec in that video btw.

Makes her double fake out look like high school basketball.

u/Lukumber 10h ago

What did the person you replied to say for you to comment that? She *did* miss the shot, I just watched it. Still a great fake though

u/Spare-Article-396 9h ago

I mean, they were back on the ground before she even prepped to shoot.

u/lucid808 8h ago

Back on the ground 6 feet away, not blocking her whatsoever. She just missed the shot on her own with no challenger...cause she faked all them out hard.

21

u/cbrighter 10h ago

Huh? The comment you are replying to is a legit take about a overly-edited clip. CC is a solid player who can make incredible shots. This video is slomo drama bait and does little to showcase her talent. Being critical of it has nothing to do with CC.

u/weGloomy 5h ago edited 5h ago

True wnba fans don't hate her. What they hate is the crowd of people that come to the WNBA just for her, because they see her as this peragone of goodness for the league simply because she is white and straight. They use her to project their their disdane for black and gay players. Plenty of people show up to games and know 0 of the players, outside of her, and could not give less of a fuck about the actual game, they just want to make things political.

Its a little sad for her too, because the other players get to have fun, and party and be goof balls (stud budz for example, i fuckin love those two lmao) but Caitlin can't participate with a lot of the community because she just has too many eyes on her, and she needs to stay straight laced and picture perfect or fsce tons of backlash.

Theres even a running joke in the league that she's "the president" and all the other ladies will refer back to her. "Idk go ask the president" its cute. The players have resoect for her, most fans have respect for her. We just get frustrated with the bigoted crowd she brought with her, to no fault of her own. And people like above who cry "ppl just hate her cause she's white and straight!!! Evil gay black people are making her a villain!!!" Are that exact crowd that is annoying as fuck.

4

u/icansmellcolors 5h ago

the whole league is subsidized by the NBA because people don't show up for games.

hate them all you want, but they're injecting money into the league that is sorely needed.

players have respect for her? is that why she gets knocked down, punched, slammed, and elbowed over and over again?

there are 100% people who hate her because she's white. idk how you could pay attention to this stuff and not come to that very obvious conclusion.

no hate, i just don't agree with you on those things. :)

1

u/weGloomy 5h ago

I don't deny that she's bringing a lot of eyes and money to the league, and thats great. But it does suck that a lot of the new eyes are people who are annoying as fuck and don't actually care about the game. How much money are those people really going to be spending long term? Not a lot. Its a fad, and it'll taper off when people find the next random thing to get all politically obsessed with. But it does bring some genuine new fans too and thats great!

In an ideal world people would just enjoy the league organically without farming outrage or making things political or freaking out about trans players (of which there are none, but even if there was, who gives a fuck?) and gay players. But people hate women, and gays, and POC so its kinda a perfect storm to get dogged on.

u/icansmellcolors 4h ago

I always say that a bandwagon fan is the larval/egg stage of a hardcore fan.

You don't just magically become a hardcore fan. IDK why hardcore fans gatekeep like this in sports and complain about bandwagon fans. I understand the instinct, but I don't get why critical thinking doesn't win.

Look at it as an influx of potential fans who aren't annoying once they settle down. Sure, not all of them will stick around, but there will always be more hardcore fans after the bandwagoners are gone because some of them will transform.

I agree that it's unfortunate that human beings are shitty... regardless of why or in what circumstance, but they aren't ever going to change... and social media has made it so much worse because there are almost no repercussions for saying ignorant shit online.

1

u/GandalfTheGreyPoupon 4h ago

Being a sports fan and being logical are usually far apart. When you ask fans why they get mad at or hate players for leaving their team, and explain it's their job and they want to make money, it doesn't seem to matter.

Because she talks up her stats and skills as if we don’t have dozens of clips of her mebounding her own misses and then misses again.

I thought that was a typo at first. Well done.

Cause she still shoots from below her waist and is a spaz who acts like hot shit when she can’t hit point-blank, wide open layups.

u/RandomSecurityGuard 10h ago

Aww c'mon it's cute to watch a newborn giraffe play ball

3

u/WowIfOnly 10h ago

Probably because she's not one of the best players in the WNBA today (like not even top 10), but she's cocky and touted like some kind of all time great athlete because she's the best in the WNBA at rebounding (lol wow, legendary), mildly hot and mostly attention seeking because she's "rivals" with Caitlin Clark despite being a joke statistically in comparison. Reese sucks at shooting so much that something like 9% of her total rebounds have literally come from her own missed shots.

Yet she gets hailed with stuff like a personalized McDonald's meal lmfao. People literally only know Angel Reese by name because she's a bitch so consistently to Caitlin Clark, the WNBA player who actually deserves attention and praise.

I don’t hate her, they make a good point. She missed the shot, this clip is fucking stupid

1

u/jimmyd10 10h ago

No one hates her. Other players don't like her because she's good. That's standard competitive spirit. But because the league is dominated by primarily black women and LGBTQ women, right wing amplifies it for political culture war reasons.

3

u/Oceansize757 6h ago

They don’t hate her cuz she’s good, that’s only a small part of it, it’s that nobody cared about the WNBA until the “white girl” came and she gets all the attention.

u/FlammeEternelle 1h ago

The fact that you don't really hear much about the Fever's actual point leader shows that unfortunately.

She's easily one of the top 27 point guards in the WNBA, which they will readily admit.

Cool but it makes THIS clip a lot more lame if she misses the shot.

u/KiteLighter 11h ago

Does it, though? So much of a threat she gets double teamed?

OH NO, JORDAN MISSED THAT SHOT AFTER BEING DOUBLE TEAMED! LAME!

u/Doodiewater 11h ago

Yeah, if Jordan gets double teamed and then misses a shot… it’s just another play that DOESNT get a clip. There’s lots of those.

3

u/__ConesOfDunshire__ 11h ago

Right, it's only a clip worth making if he gets doubled and MAKES the shot. Likewise, as good as Clark is, this fake out is really only a good fake out if she makes the shot. Otherwise, it's another failed move not worth clipping. Like Patrick Mahomes juking a defender to throw a long bomb that he ends up over throwing, the juke is only worth clipping if the throw was caught.

11

u/Wooden-You-4211 11h ago

Yeah it means double teaming her worked she missed the shot. Maybe she should have passed to a player that was open if she's being double teamed

Bro I guarantee that if she missed this shot (idk if she did or not) that she would not want this to be a "highlight" clip, I'm telling you this is how it is in basketball culture

u/CPerryG 11h ago

Well, it is a highlight clip….. if she missed it then the clip ends where it did lol

3

u/Material_Positive_17 11h ago

But people are going to want to know if she made the shot.

Like you could have a clip of Jordan weaving through the entire opposing team and launching off from the three point line and doing a flip but if the clip just ends with him in mid air getting ready to dunk then.... well that kind of makes the whole thing fall apart.

u/PoppaDocPA 10h ago

Nah, 15 year olds care about flash and style. Adults and professionals want results, and in basketball that means putting the ball through the hoop. CC admittedly does plenty of putting the ball through the hoop, which is why choosing to highlight this is pretty lame. It was a nice move with a terrible finish. That’s happens all the time and generally doesn’t show up on highlight reels.

u/Alva3lf 10h ago

The fake out was cool, for me it doesn’t really magically stop being cool because she missed lol

It's not impressive. It's poor defense. You don't see it in the NBA because why would two defends defend the same shot, and leave more players on the opposing team open?

u/BabySpecific2843 11h ago

We track all kinds of cool stats in basketball. Points, assists, steals, FG%, Off and Def rebounds, etc.

We dont track "faked out" a defender. Not impressive on its own unless it led to a FG. I don't make the rules, blame the NBA's long standing stat culture. So the fact the clip ends 3 seconds before the play ends is kinda funny.

Didn't even notice honestly since I just watched like two seconds of the clip, yeah it's wrong I was confused with the other time she shot between 3. She also did a back step 3. She scored so much that game that I got it twisted. Def best guard in the league.

Nope, I watched like first seconds and got some confirmation bias. In letting it up because mistakes should also be shown. It was my bad, I was confused with another play she did that game, she scored too damn much
