Angel Reese Claps Back At Jill Biden’s Recent Suggestion

by

Angel Reese has become a household name. Reese has been the most talked about athlete in sports media this week. With her LSU Tigers cutting down the nets in the Women’s Final Four and her on-the-court celebrations. However, what has been lost in all the commotion this week has been her play. Reese earned MVP of the Final Four, and rightfully so. LSU was the better team in the National Championship. But Iowa may still be getting the same accolades.

First Lady Jill Biden reportedly wants to extend a White House visit to LSU and Iowa. A White House visit normally is only extended to the champions of said sport. However, Biden believes that both participants should enjoy the honorary visit. Word of the potential joint visit quickly spread across social media. With LSU’s star expressing her opinion on the situation. In a tweet on the situation, Reese stated the joint visit would be “A JOKE.”

Angel Reese Has Become A College Basketball Star

This would be the first time that a losing team would join a champion during the White House visit. While the invitation hasn’t been extended to Iowa, one would assume the Hawkeyes would not accept anyway. The LSU program deserves its roses. The Tigers are the superior team in the women’s college basketball landscape. Angel Reese and her team deserve the White House moment on a pedestal alone. Not with the team they defeated. With all the discussion on the situation, the invitation to Iowa will likely never make its way to the team. Probably better that it doesn’t.

There have been many off-the-court stories hitting headlines from the Women’s Final Four. However, we can’t take away from the product on the court. These women outshined the Men’s Final Four. From South Carolina to Caitlin Clark, the games were entertaining. Ultimately, LSU and Reese have earned their moment to soak up the Sun. What are your thoughts on First Lady Biden’s invitation to the Iowa team? Drop your thoughts on the topic in the comment section below. For the latest in sports, stay locked in with HNHH.

Shaq Responds To Uninformed Keith Olbermann Tweet

by

Shaq was swift to respond to Keith Olbermann’s uncalled-for tweet on Angel Reese’s Final Four celebration. Olbermann took to Twitter to call out Reese for making the “You Can’t See Me.” celebration on Caitlin Clark. The former ESPN broadcaster went as far as to call Reese a “f- idiot.” Many among the Twitter world were quick to defend Reese. From LeBron James to even Samuel L. Jackson. Although there were some great responses, Shaq takes the crown for the best response.

Shaq’s response was short, sweet, and to the point. “shut your dumb ass up leave angel reese alone,” the legendary big man stated in a response to Olbermann. Olbermann has since backpedaled on his stance with Reece’s celebration. He mentioned he was uninformed on the matter. The veteran broadcaster said, “I don’t follow hoops, college or pro, men or women. I had no idea about Clark. Both were wrong.” This begs the question, why even speak on the matter in the first place?

Shaq, Among Others, Giving Angel Reese Her Roses

It’s unfortunate that this is even a story. Sunday afternoon, the LSU Tigers Women’s Basketball team proved they were the cream of the crop. The Tigers annihilated a hot Iowa Hawkeyes team to earn the title of champion. The story that needs to be told is that Angel Reese won the 2023 Final Four MVP. She talked her talk and then backed it up. Clark, who has been known for her trash talk, was receiving what she normally dishes out. If anything, the celebration by Reese was an emotional reaction to defeating such an amazing team in Iowa.

The Women’s Final Four was a perfect representation of Women’s sports. The product had more eyes watching this weekend than maybe in its history. Women’s sports are on the rise in the United States. It should be no surprise, considering the product that was on the floor over the past few weeks. While tonight will close out the Men’s post-season tournament, the Women are still in the spotlight. An incredible testament to the young women who shared the floor this weekend. For the latest news in the sports world, stay here with us at HNHH.

LeBron James Co-Signs Angel Reese Celebration

by

LeBron James was one of the many fans watching the Women’s Final Four this weekend. This past weekend was dominated by women’s basketball and for good reason. So many storylines were fun and digestible to viewers. Who could stop the dominance of South Carolina? Is Caitlin Clark really her? Would LSU and their flamboyantly dressed coach cut down the nets? There were so many storylines, along with so many characters, that created enticing stories.

However, in the end, it was Kim Mulkey’s LSU Tigers that cut down the nets. The Tigers dominated Iowa from the opening tip on Sunday. The Tigers left no questions unanswered with the 102-85 victory. Sadly, the dominant performance has taken second fiddle to a story that gained traction at the end of the game. LSU star Angel Reese decided to give Caitlin Clark a little taste of her own medicine. Clark blossomed into a star during the tournament with her unabashed personality. Clark was unafraid to talk trash and maybe let her opponents know her true feelings with a few simple gestures.

LeBron James Is Team Reese

Clark celebrated her dominant performance over Louisville in the Final Four by showing the Cardinals they couldn’t see her. For anyone to even suggest that what Reese did was wrong really doesn’t understand sports. The best trash talkers in sports always get it right back during a loss. Clark’s situation is just another example of being able to handle what you dish out. While Clark didn’t publicly say she was mad at the actions by Reese. Many in the social media world were irate with Reese’s actions. However, this seems like a simple case of athletes having fun during tough competition. Something that LeBron James knows all too well. James’ support didn’t go unnoticed, as many are in support of Reese and her team.

If you don’t like what Angel Reese did during the National Championship, then stop her from winning. Reese went on to win the MVP of the Final Four, and deservedly so. Clark has nothing to hang her head about, either. Iowa’s star was a huge reason people tuned in this weekend. If anything, fans should praise both Iowa and LSU for bringing the heat and excitement to a sport that’s been quietly dominating for a few years. This weekend put Women’s college basketball on the map. With stars like Clark and Reese, the sport is in good hands. What are your opinions on Reese’s celebration? Did she go too far? Or is this a complete joke that it’s even a story? Let us know in the comment section below. For the latest in the sports world, stay with us at HNHH.

Boosie Badazz Shares Hilarious Reaction To LSU’s Huge Win

by

Boosie is someone who loves sports a whole lot. Overall, he is constantly showing love to the teams that he supports the most. For instance, one can frequently find the artist courtside at Atlanta Hawks games. This is always a great place to be, especially with Trae Young always showcasing his talents. However, there are times when Boosie would rather just watch a game from the comfort of his own him. On Sunday, that is exactly what he did as he took in the National Championship game between the LSU and Iowa women’s basketball teams.

Ultimately, this was a matchup for the ages. Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark were looking to lead their teams to victory. On the LSU side, Reese was as confident as ever. Overall, she clearly had the better team on her side as Clark wanted to drag her team across the finish line. Consequently, LSU was able to pull out the victory in style. Of course, Boosie was cheering for the Tigers, who did not let him down. Just like every other LSU fan, he was having the time of his life as the purple and gold won in a blowout.

Boosie Was Having Himself A Great Time

Additionally, Boosie decided to share his reactions to the game on social media. In the clip below, you can see his reaction to some plays from Jasmine Carson. As you can see, Carson has bright-colored hair, that Boosie likened to Ice Spice. Numerous times throughout the clip, the artist says “that’s our LSU Ice Spice.” Subsequently, after the team’s win, he made fun of Caitlin Clark by saying “Larry Bird come get your daughter.” It was a pretty hilarious moment that is indicative of what a character Boosie can be.

In terms of this game, it was a massive deal for women’s basketball. The women’s game has been growing substantially over the last little while. Furthermore, with stars like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark making names for themselves, there appears to be real crossover interest. Overall, this is a great thing to witness, and we hope the game continues to grow for years to come. Let us know if you watched the LSU and Iowa game, in the comments down below.

Kim Mulkey Takes Courtside Fashion To A Whole New Level

by

If there is one thing LSU Women’s basketball head coach Kim Mulkey knows how to do besides winning (and retaining a major ego), it is pulling off showstopper looks courtside. You might have seen a couple of her looks already on social media since she happens to be trending on TikTok. Most of her outfits contain a statement blazer, sweater, or business-approved high heels.

The Lady Tigers’ coach is winning both on the court, and in her closet. According to WBRZ, Queen of Sparkles boutique owner and designer Jamie Glas is responsible for designing some of her most iconic pieces. Kim Mulkey is clearly not a minimalist when it comes to her fashion choices, making statements with every new look. Additionally, statements are also made on the court, with her team holding a record of 24-1 and placing 2nd in the SEC thus far.

A Look into Kim Mulkey’s Wardrobe

Kim Mulkey prefers to wear heels over any other footwear while coaching, giving her the unofficial title of best-dressed women’s coach. She wears satirical pieces adorned with sequin-embellished tigers that complement her team. Sequins are not the only material Mulkey is accustomed to sporting. Feathers seem to be her other best friend, wearing several pieces with feathers attached to the sleeves. “As far as the clothes are concerned, I have lots of friends. People know I love to dress up and they will see something in the stores and buy it and bring it by the house. I’ll either like it or I won’t like it. If I do, I’ll give them a check for it. I really don’t know all the new styles. I leave that up to people much more knowledgeable than me. If it just feels good and looks good on me, I wear it.” Kim Mulkey tells The Advocate.

There is no question that her bold style choice coincides with her bold personality when coaching. On February 12th, the LSU Tigers faced their biggest challenge of the season playing the South Carolina Gamecocks. Although they lost by a tremendous 24 points, Mulkey never doubted the team. She maintained high spirits throughout the duration of the game. All in all, Kim Mulkey has remained a prominent figure in women’s college basketball and has now reached full-fledged fashion icon status.
