ESPN did Angel Reese dirty following a poor shooting night against the New York Liberty on Thursday night.
Reese and the Chicago Sky suffered a second-straight loss to begin the season, having previously tasted defeat in their opener against Caitling Clark and the Indiana Fever.
She failed to score a single field goal during Thursday’s L, something ESPN noted in an update via their app as they called the former LSU star out for her “Historically bad shooting.”
The Worldwide Leader in Sports also noted that Reese tied a WNBA record for the most misses from within four feet of the rim in the last 10 years.
“Angel Reese goes 0-for-7 from within four feet of basket to tie most misses from that distance in WNBA over past 10 seasons,” the notification read.
Reese would miss her next attempt as she ended the game at 0-for-8. While she grabbed 12 rebounds, several of them resulted from her own misses, and she also committed five turnovers.

The Sky held a brief 12-9 lead over NY on the night, but the Liberty put together an 8-0 run to take a 20-12 lead and set themselves up with a 53-32 cushion going into halftime, eventually winning 99-74..
Chicago couldn’t find any consistency on offense, shooting a lackluster 31.2 percent in the first half, with Reese failing to score until there were just six minutes left in the game.
Her tally of two points marked a career low.
For Reese, it was a night of frequent blocks, strips near the basket, and more or less missing on her own. But the Sky will hope to pick things up when they face the Los Angeles Sparks this Sunday.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
