WNBA Fans in Disbelief Over Angel Reese's Pass
WNBA Fans in Disbelief Over Angel Reese's Pass originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During her first year in the WNBA, Angel Reese dished out 1.9 assists per game. Playmaking isn't really her forte, though, since she's more of a rebounding machine — averaging 13.1 rebounds for the Chicago Sky in her rookie season.

Despite that, though, the All-Star forward had a rather interesting moment when she pulled off a highlight-reel worthy assist during the Sky's Saturday showdown with the Dallas Wings. Late in the first quarter, Reese attacked the basket and was quickly hounded by two Wings players. What happened next was a work of art, as the 23-year-old used the gap between her defenders to send the ball to Elizabeth Williams for the easy two points. The WNBA was mind-blown by her play, and so were the fans who witnessed the play. Advertisement "She's a really good passer. When her scoring gets consistent she'll be elite," a fan praised Reese. Another supporter said, "That was a fire dime tho." "Angel is gonna start being on triple double watch.. she is starting to be a good passer and defender …her scoring might not be on point right now but it's the intangibles that make her very important to this team," a hyped viewer added. A commenter stated, "Great assist." "Angel's assists are awesome," a follower remarked. "YES ANGEL REESE," a sixth fan shared.

Create Account Judge Arun Subramanian granted a request by lawyers Wednesday for extra time to decide who they will eliminate from the list of prospective jurors. It's the last step of a jury selection process that began when potential jurors filled out questionnaires last week. For the past three days, the judge has been questioning prospective jurors one at a time to see who can be fair and unbiased. On Friday, lawyers on each side will be permitted to eliminate several individuals from the panel of jurors — for reasons they usually do not have to explain. That procedure, which typically takes an hour or less, produces the final jury of 12 plus alternates. Then on Monday, opening statements are scheduled for a trial that is expected to last up to two months in federal court in Manhattan. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he operated his businesses like a racketeering enterprise, using employees and other associates to help facilitate multiple crimes, including kidnapping, arson, bribery and sex trafficking. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. After his September arrest at a New York hotel, Combs has remained jailed without bail while he fights racketeering and sex trafficking charges that could result in a sentence of up to life in prison if he is convicted. Prosecutors say Combs used his fame and fortune as a powerbroker in the hip-hop world to force young women into sexually abusive situations, including ' Freak Offs,' drugged-up orgies in which women were forced to have sex with male sex workers while Combs filmed them. Combs' lawyers contend prosecutors are trying to police consensual sexual activity. Read More Canada Columnists Sunshine Girls MLB Toronto Maple Leafs
