NBA LEGEND CARMELO ANTHONY DESTROYS ANGEL REESE & WNBA ALL-STARS WITH ONE SAVAGE WORD
*”This Ain’t Basketball!” – Fans in SHOCK
In a fiery moment that set social media ablaze, NBA icon Carmelo Anthony sparked massive controversy after delivering a brutal critique of Angel Reese and the current generation of WNBA All-Stars. During a candid interview on a popular basketball podcast, Melo was asked about the rise of the WNBA’s new faces—and his response dropped jaws across the internet.
“This ain’t basketball,” Carmelo said, shaking his head. “It’s social media content.”
The seven-time All-NBA forward didn’t stop there. He emphasized how he believes the WNBA has drifted away from “pure hoop” and leaned too heavily into drama, media antics, and personality branding. Without mentioning names directly, fans quickly connected the dots—especially pointing toward viral stars like Angel Reese, known for her confident attitude, trash talk, and highly visible rivalry with Caitlin Clark.
“Reese been doing too much. All that finger-pointing and taunting—come on, Melo wasn’t wrong,” one fan commented on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote: “He said what needed to be said. The game’s turning into a reality show.”
However, not everyone agreed. Reese’s fans came to her defense instantly, with some accusing Carmelo of disrespecting the growing visibility of women’s basketball. “Why is Melo tearing down young Black women trying to grow the game?” one critic posted.
This bombshell statement comes just days after Angel Reese was selected as a starter in the WNBA All-Star Game, where she matched up with Caitlin Clark in a highly anticipated showdown. Despite putting up solid numbers and continuing her impressive rookie run, the attention has remained on the off-court narrative—and now, Carmelo has only added fuel to the fire.
One thing’s for sure: Carmelo’s “This ain’t basketball” comment has cracked open a divisive debate about the direction of the WNBA—and the sports world isn’t ready to move on just yet.
