FS1’s Joy Tayor got destroyed online following what turned out to be an unpopular take.
Taylor was discussing Caitlin Clark during ‘Speak’ this week when she claimed no one was talking about the former Iowa star before the 2023 national championship game, adding Angel Reese’s taunts are what actually made her famous.
“We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before Angel Reese walked up to her, did this [waving her hand], and pointed to the ring,” she said.
“This is not my opinion. I lived it. I watched it. It was recorded, it was broadcasted live. We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before that moment, and that’s OK. You can be extremely talented and not interesting.”

Of course, Reese is doing her part for women’s basketball, and her antics gave both players more coverage than they probably would have gotten otherwise.
Fans Ripped Joy Taylor Over Her Odd Caitlin Clark Take
Fans were pretty quick to call Taylor out.
“Sports analysts saying they didn’t know who CC was before the 23 chip is extremely damning on sports media,” one said. “This does not say what she thinks it does.”
“This is simply not true,” another added. “If you weren’t paying attention to women’s college hoops say that instead.”
“We’re not blatantly lying. Caitlin was HER before the Natty Game and everyone knew about her before the Natty Game. Don’t do that,” said a third.
Another pointed to an interview she had with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith in 2022.
Doesn’t look like Joy Taylor did her homework on that one.
Chicago Sky Rookie Angel Reese Reveals Her Fresh New Nickname

Angel Reese revealed a new nickname before the Chicago Sky tipped off against the Washington Mystics on Thursday night.
The former Lousiana State University forward flipped a new chapter in her basketball career after being drafted as the No.7 overall pick earlier this year, but she’s made it known several times that she’s remained true to her roots.
The rookie was born and raised in Randallstown, Maryland, approximately 30 minutes from Baltimore. She played at the University of Maryland for two years before transferring to LSU.
There were rumors that Reese might be drafted by the Mystics, the closest WNBA team to her hometown ahead of selection night. She ended up with the Sky, who are playing Washington this Thursday.
So the trip was somewhat of a homecoming for the two-time First-Team All-American and 2024 SEC Player of the Year.

She showed the shoes off to reporters before Thursday’s clash.
“We’ve been doing so many kinds of different looks. We’ve done like a Barbie kind of thing,” she explained.
“These are Baltimore Barbie shoes,” she added. “I wanted something for home.”
So “Baltimore Barbie” it is.
Reese had 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists early in the third quarter, with the Sky trailing the Mystics 35-46.
Chicago started the contest with a 3-5 record, which they hope to improve. They have less than a half of basketball to do that tonight.
