Angel Reese is too good to be the bad guy

There’s a good way to tell when Angel Reese is rolling. Then, and pretty much only then, she’ll start snarling.  Reese loves feeding into her “Barbie” branding. She won’t take the floor before applying her feathery eyelashes and rouge blush, for heaven’s sake. Yet she also thrives in playing the part of the “bad guy.” Women’s basketball’s villain.

The Anti-Caitlin. So, in an exaggerated, put-on way, she’ll curl up one side of her lip and look like the meanest, baddest so-and-so in the WNBA. That stank face of hers will make highlight shows and drive up television ratings. Audiences can’t get enough of the bad guy.
