Former radio personality Jason Whitlock criticized Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese following her claim that her WNBA salary wasn’t enough to pay her bills.

The former sports columnist said he isn’t the biggest fan of the Sky player and that she symbolized “first-world problems.”

“Angel Reese, really unlikeable,” Whitlock said on his show (0:50). “It’s hard for most men to dislike a woman who puts her butt on display everywhere she goes. She’s got a pretty big one and a good one. But she’s unlikeable

“Yesterday, we got another example of her on her own podcast, complaining about how she can’t afford an $8,000 a month rent payment. It’s the epitome of first-world problems, it’s the epitome of first-world stupidity, it’s epitome of just Angel Reese not being well-thought out.”

Reese had earlier said her WNBA salary wasn’t enough to make ends meet.

“I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” Reese said. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at.”

After getting drafted by Chicago with the seventh pick earlier this year, Reese signed a four-year, $324,383 deal. During the 2024 season, the Sky forward made $73,439 and is set to make $74,909 next season.

Why does Angel Reese earn less than Caitlin Clark?

Both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese entered the league the same year. But, their contracts aren’t the same. Rookies in the WNBA earn salaries depending on their draft positions. They have a wage scale that determines how much the rookie should earn.

The first four picks are guaranteed a base salary of $76,535 in their rookie season. It will increase as the four-year contract progresses and could get to a maximum of $97,582, which will be in the final year.

 

Picks fifth to eighth, on the other hand, are guaranteed a $73,439 contract in their first year. The later the player gets picked, the lesser they’ll get. Picks ninth to 12th will earn $70,344 in their rookie year, while second-round picks will get $67,249.
