Recently, in an interview, Angel Reese spoke out to protect his teammate Chenedy Carter from criticism from coach Courtney Paris. This story quickly attracted the attention of the female basketball community, especially WNBA fans and women who love sports in general.

The incident begins with the match between Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever, when the Chennedy Carter had a strong collision with Caitlin Clark, the player of Indiana Fever. This collision caused Clark to fall into the yard, and after reviewing the situation, WNBA decided to raise Carter’s penalty to serious errors. However, the Courtney Paris coach of the Chicago Sky team attacked Carter, saying that she had acted improperly and needed to learn from experience.
Before these criticisms, Angel Rese, one of the bright stars of female basketball, stood out to protect Carter. Reese said that in basketball, collision situations and competition are inevitable. She shared that this was a normal part of the game and confirmed that Carter had no intention of harming the opponent.
Reese added: “Me and Chievedy are very competitive. We always have a healthy competition. I love our teammates and will always protect them. It is just competition on the field.” This speech not only shows the solidarity in the team but also reflects the noble sports spirit of Reese. She also affirmed that, despite being considered a “bad guy” in some people’s eyes, she will continue to devote her best to female basketball and protect her teammates.
Chievedy Carter also did not show too worried about criticism. She continued to focus on playing and considered this situation as an integral part of every match. Basketball is a powerful sport and stress, and sometimes collision situations are only part of the game.
This situation has caused controversy on social networks, when many people expressed conflicting opinions about Carter’s actions and the protection of Reese. However, both players continue to focus on their career and try to improve their basketball career. Reese, with confidence and assertiveness, emphasized that she wanted to use her role to help female basketball be more widely recognized.
With stars like Angel Rese, Chievedy Carter and other young talents, WNBA’s future becomes even more bright. Despite controversy, this only helps to bring women basketball to a new level, attracting strong attention from the public and donors.
