Angel Reese's BET Award Win Trashed By Boxing Star Claressa Shields: ‘I Thought Accolades Mattered'
WNBA star Angel Reese scored a major achievement this week when she was chosen as BET's 2025 'Sportswoman of the Year.' However, boxing legend Claressa Shields seems to think she was undeserving of the honor. 'Still don't know how I didn't win the Sportswoman of the Year for the BET Awards. But, congrats to Angel Reese and all the other Nominees 🤷🏽♀️ I just thought accolades mattered,' Shields wrote in a post on X. Advertisement Also Read: WNBA games today – Get a look at tonight's WNBA schedule The Chicago Sky star had a notable rookie season in 2024. Posting just over 13 points and 13 rebounds per game. Her numbers earned her All-Star honors. But her personality and rivalry with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark expanded her profile and turned her into one of the WNBA's most recognizable players. However, a case could be made that it was Reese's popularity that played a key role in her winning the award. As opposed to her skills on the court. Especially when considering the other nominees for BET's 'Sportswoman of the Year.' The other athletes up for the award were fellow WNBA star A'ja Wilson, Shields, tennis great Coco Gauff, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, LSU's Flau'jae Johnson, USC's JuJu Watkins, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, and gymnast Simone Biles. Advertisement Both Biles and Richardson won gold medals in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Gauff won the WTA Finals and a French Open Doubles title last year. Shields won two fights, including a second-round knockout last July. But most notable is that 2024 WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson was overlooked for Reese. BET Award winners are decided through a combination of public voting and a voting academy composed of industry professionals.

Loyd has breakout game in Aces' victory over Wings after slow start this season
LAS VEGAS (AP) — This is the Jewell Loyd the Aces traded for in January, the addition Las Vegas counted on to remain a WNBA championship contender. She scored 21 points, including a 3-pointer with 28.3 seconds left that put the Aces ahead for good, in their 88-84 victory over Dallas on Friday night. Loyd shot with confidence, making a statement from the beginning by scoring the Aces' first eight points. The 11-year, six-time All-Star entered the game averaging a career-low 9.1 points and shooting 30%. Loyd made 7 of 13 shots against the Wings, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range. She often was guarded by Paige Bueckers, taken first overall in this year's draft. Loyd herself was the No. 1 pick in 2015. 'Confidence is always there,' Loyd said. 'I get annoyed more when I miss shots. Making shots allows people to play free and spacing and all those things. You want to see the ball go through the basket. My preparation's been the same. My teammates believe in me, coaches, fans. Everyone's encouraging me all the way through.' Coach Becky Hammon said before the game that she wasn't worried about Loyd's shooting, that it would come around. She was right. Loyd came out strong, scoring 16 points in the first half. 'We need her shooting," Hammon said afterward. 'We've been waiting for that explosion, and I thought she got off to a really great start.' Not that the entire night went smoothly. Loyd didn't score in the third quarter and committed three turnovers. Then in the fourth period, she took an elbow from DiJonai Carrington and left the floor. But Loyd wasn't gone long, returning in time to make the go-ahead shot after point guard Chelsea Gray kept the possession alive with an offensive rebound. Gray then fed the ball to Loyd, who drilled the shot. That helped the Aces erase an 11-point deficit with a 15-point run. 'We were so engaged, and there was a belief we were going to win this game,' Loyd said. Loyd was the shiny new piece the Aces — who won WNBA titles in 2022 and 2023 — were going to hang their title hopes on after acquiring her from Seattle in a three-team trade that also sent fan favorite and WNBA All-Star Kelsey Plum to Los Angeles. Given what Plum has done in LA, averaging 21.0 points, the Sparks often have looked as if they won the trade. But performances like this one against Dallas could change that dynamic. Loyd's slow start has mirrored the team's. The Aces entered the game 4-4 and nearly lost to a Wings team with just one victory, even giving up an 18-point run at one point in the third quarter. Las Vegas rallied with Loyd a key piece even with reigning MVP A'ja Wilson out because of a concussion. 'It's about winning games in September, so we just want to keep building habits,' Hammon said. 'We're still waiting for that unicorn 40 (minutes). As long as I can see us making progress and keeping the belief in each other. This is a process. This stuff just doesn't happen overnight. That's why you play 44 games.' ___
