Angel Reese Feels 'Disrespected' by WNBA All-Star Voting
On July 2, the WNBA announced the starters for the 2026 All-Star Game, with fans accounting for half of the votes and active players and media members making up the other half. Angel Reese, a star player for the Atlanta Dream, expressed feeling 'disrespected' after neither she nor any of her teammates were selected as starters, despite their contributions to the team's success. Reese highlighted the efforts of her teammates Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, who each had multiple All-Star nominations, and emphasized that the absence of Dream players from the starting lineup was disappointing. While acknowledging the achievements of the selected players, Reese stressed that her team's success was built on the work of Gray and Howard. The Chicago Sky traded Reese to the Dream in April, and she has focused on winning the WNBA championship with her new team, which currently holds an 12-7 record in the Eastern Conference.
Caitlin Clark, zvijezda u usponu ženskog nacionalnog košarkaškog saveza (WNBA), postala je središnja figura u tekućim raspravama o vidljivosti lige i prepoznavanju njenih najboljih talenata.
Clark, član Indiana Fevera, dosljedno je privlačio velike gužve i stvarao značajan interes u ligi. To je bilo očito tijekom najave početnika 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, gdje su tri igrača Fevera, uključujući Clarka, odabrana. Uključivanje Clarka, zajedno s suigračima Kelsey Mitchell i Aliyah Boston, ističe njezin utjecaj na angažman obožavatelja i unutarnju dinamiku lige.
Reese, koja se pridružila Atlanta Dream u travnju, naglasila je doprinos svojih bivših suigrača u Chicagu, osobito Allisha Gray i Rhyne Howarda, čiji su napori, kako smatra, bili zanemareni u izborima All-Star.
Debata oko toga tko bi trebao biti smatran "ličem" WNBA-e pojačala se nakon primjedbi bivše legende WNBA-e Lise Leslie. Tijekom emitiranja s CBS Sportsom, Leslie je istaknula A'ju Wilson iz Las Vegas Aces kao dominantnu snagu u ligi, navodeći njenu sposobnost postizanja značajnog dijela bodova svoje ekipe u boji i njezinu trenutnu vođstvo u prosjeku bodovanja. Lesliejeva tvrdnja da je Wilson zaslužila priznanje obično rezervirano za lice lige izazvala je mješovite reakcije.
Wilson, trostruki WNBA prvak i četverostruki najvredniji igrač, nastavlja učvršćivati svoje nasljeđe dosljednim nastupima i timskim uspjesima.
Kontroverze koje su okružile Clarka i All-Star selekcije odražavaju dublja pitanja unutar WNBA-e u vezi s priznanjem, poštenjem i ravnotežom između pojedinačne izvrsnosti i doprinosa tima.

WNBA se nedavno suočila s značajnom pažnjom zbog kontroverzi u kojoj je sudjelovala zvijezda Caitlin Clark, uključujući njezino isključenje iz plakata za 30. obljetnicu lige i navodnu fizičku svađu tijekom utakmice između Indiana Fevera i Phoenix Mercuryja. Incident je doveo do revizije lige, što je rezultiralo s flagrantnim prekršajem 2 i suspenzijom od jedne utakmice za Mercury igrač Alyssu Thomas. U međuvremenu, analitičarka WNBA-e Lisa Leslie izazvala je kritike zbog naziva A'ja Wilson 'ličem WNBA-e', što je izazvalo raspravu među obožavateljima i komentatorima. Mnogi su tvrdili da je Caitlin Clark, unatoč tome što nije izričito imenovana kao 'ličem', više zaslužuje takvo priznanje.

Caitlin Clark and two of her teammates from the Indiana Fever—Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston—have been named starters for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, highlighting the team's popularity and success this season. Clark, entering her third All-Star appearance, leads the league in scoring and is among the top assist leaders. The selection comes amid controversy involving Phoenix Mercury player Alyssa Thomas, who received a Flagrant Foul 2 and a one-game suspension after a physical play against Clark that sparked fan and analyst backlash. Mitchell ranks second in scoring, while Boston contributes significantly in rebounding. Despite their strong performances, the Fever sit at 11-8, seventh in the standings, and may need additional wins to secure a playoff spot. Other All-Star starters include Breanna Stewart, A'Ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, and several other notable players.
