Angel Reese<\/a> can\u2019t seem to stay out of the spotlight, whether for the right (or wrong) reasons.<\/p>\n Fresh off her eighth technical foul of the season\u2014and a one-game suspension after striking Connecticut Sun forward Aaliyah Edwards in the head<\/a>\u2014Reese is being compared to none other than Dennis Rodman.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Sports commentator Brandon \u201cScoop B\u201d Robinson<\/a> says the Chicago Sky star\u2019s mix of relentless hustle and headline-making moments echoes the Hall of Famer\u2019s reputation for toughness, chaos, and impact.<\/p>\n Robinson points to Reese\u2019s willingness to do the things that don\u2019t show up in highlight reels. \u201cI watched Dennis Rodman,\u201d Reese told Robinson. \u201cYou always need a player that\u2019s on a team that\u2019s willing to do the dirty work and I\u2019m always willing to do the dirty work however I got to get it.\u201d<\/p>\n That \u201cdirty work,\u201d she explained, means chasing rebounds, setting hard screens, and taking physical punishment. \u201cI\u2019m willing to go in there and get a black eye. I mean, I\u2019ve been injured a lot so obviously, I\u2019m in there banging for sure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Like Rodman, those qualities have made Reese indispensable\u2014and polarizing. Her suspension will keep her out of Chicago\u2019s September 5 game against the Indiana Fever, but it hasn\u2019t silenced her.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, she challenged the Sky to raise the bar heading into the offseason. \u201cI\u2019m not settling for the same s*** we did this year,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to get good players. We have to get great players. That\u2019s a non-negotiable for me.\u201d<\/p>\n But Reese\u2019s story now extends beyond the hardwood. She just made her feature film debut in A House of Dynamite<\/em><\/a>, the latest Netflix thriller from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival to a standing ovation, the film stars Idris Elba as the President of the United States during a nuclear crisis.<\/p>\n Reese appears in the climactic final act, playing herself in a scene where sports become a symbol of resilience. She shares the screen with Elba, as well as Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, Jared Harris, and Tracy Letts.<\/p>\n For Robinson, the parallels with Rodman are hard to miss: a player who thrives on physicality, isn\u2019t afraid to spark controversy, and still finds a way to define her team\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n <\/a> Dennis Rodman Says Michael Jordan Is the Goat\u2014but This Other Player Doesn\u2019t Get Enough Respect<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Angel Reese Slams RGIII’s Caitlin Clark Feud Rumor: ‘Nasty Work’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Cryptocurrency Group Claims Credit for WNBA ‘Dildogate’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Dwayne Johnson Was Scared to Embrace Dramatic Roles Until ‘The Smashing Machine’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Sophie Cunningham Fires Back at Skip Bayless Calling Her a ‘Clout Chaser’: \u2018Get Out of Here\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
