Diana Taurasi may be at odds with LSU basketball fans after a comment she made about star player Angel Reese after the ladder’s final college game against the Caitlyn Clark-led Iowa Hawkeyes in the Final Four.
Taurasi referenced an iconic clip of Reese waving goodbye to Middle Tennessee player Anastasiia Boldyreva after she fouled out, on an alternative ESPN broadcast with one of her former teammates at UConn, and former fellow WNBA star Sue Bird. “Wave bye-bye to your own career,” she ruthlessly said.
Her cohort, Bird had to remind the 42-year-old of Reese’s continued college career success and the probability of Reese being a top selection in the WNBA Draft this off-season. This prompted Taurasi to apologize, responding “My bad.”
“Wave bye bye to your own career.”

Viewers of the broadcast found the clip very distasteful with some responding, flaming Taurasi for her comments, after a clip of the comment surfaced on X.
Angel Reese Has Yet To Respond To The Taurasi Comment
One fan commented on how Taurasi should be supporting women in the sport as she does have a history of beefing with other young college stars. Another questioned the Mercury guard for hating on Reese, while another fan even called for her to retire.
“Wave bye bye to your own career.”

While fans may definitely be on the youngster’s side, Reese herself has not responded to comment. The first match-up between whichever team selects the LSU star and Taurasi’s Phoenix Mercury will certainly be an interesting one to tune into.
With many having Reese going at either 6th or 7th in the draft, her first season will definitely be one to watch as she is part of the next generation of promising WNBA stars and could be a Rookie of the Year winner.
Did Kawhi Leonard Actually Chop His Trademark Hair? New Photo Provides The Answer That Everyone’s Looking For

The internet collectively gasped this weekend after a photo surfaced of Kawhi Leonard sporting a new hairstyle. The Clippers star, who has always been spotted with his iconic long, braided hair, seemed to have shed his signature hairstyle, leaving fans stunned. However, it appears the fans dodged a crisis.
The photo sent shockwaves, depicting Leonard with a different look at a Las Vegas boxing match. Social media erupted with disbelief, with comments like “Is that even Kawhi?!” and “RIP to an era.”
However, Clippers reporter Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated debunked the rumors as he confirmed that Leonard hadn’t chopped his hair off. Instead, he opted for a different style, with his long hair pulled back and secured, possibly in a bun.
Fans breathed a sigh of relief after Linn’s revelation, but the internet soon turned to teasing and trolling. Netizens joked about Leonard’s newfound clean-shaven face, with some comparing the Clippers’ star to a college freshman.
