Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Chicago Sky have one of the most popular players in the WNBA on their roster in the form of Angel Reese. She has already made a major impact throughout her first two years, but there are a lot of areas that she must improve in. Recently, WNBA legend Candace Parker was asked about what tier of player she would rank Reese. In response, she said that she felt Reese as a "C" grade player. Many immediately felt that Parker was hating on Reese.

Read more: A'ja Wilson Makes WNBA History vs Indiana Fever During an appearance on the "Good Follow" podcast, Parker spoke out on Reese and revealed more about what went into her decision to grade her in the "C" tier of WNBA players. "They asked me my opinion on player tiers, and my thing is, if you bring something to the argument, bring something else," Parker said. "Can she get to player A, or player S, or whatever? Yes, she can. Right now, I don't know if she's alongside those players. And you're measuring her against players that have been in the league for years." Parker went on to fire back at the idea that she is a Reese hater. She sent a very clear message about that not being the case. "There's no hate on Angel Reese," she said. "I love her. She plays for the Chicago Sky. I saw her at my jersey retirement vs. LA. So it's nothing like that. I think it's so interesting in this female space, the need to have to explain some of these things."

She spoke out last year about the WNBA legend and her words were very glowing. "She's the GOAT," Reese said. "I've had conversations with her, her family, her mom, I've talked to them before I even came to Chicago ... I've always respected CP3 and I try to take some things from her game and try to add them to mine. And just being able to be named with an amazing player like that is always going to be special to me." Make sure to follow Newsweek Sports for all Chicago Sky and WNBA news and updates.
