Angel Reese tells the truth on Dream coach’s embarrassing decision
Angel Reese is arguably the biggest reason why the Atlanta Dream are headed to the WNBA Finals. She has dominated the paint and continues to improve different facets of her game. One of them is her outside shooting, particularly from beyond the arc. However, the star forward admitted that it wasn’t easy and she went through an “embarrassing” moment in front of her teammates and coaching staff.
Atlanta entered the postseason at No. 5 seed with a 30-16 record. The team reached the finals for the first time since 2013 and aims to win its first title in franchise history.
Reese and the Dream are undefeated in the playoffs. They swept the No.5-seeded Washington Mystics in the first round and eliminated the No. 8-seeded New York Liberty in three games in the semifinals. The three-time All-Star is amid a historic season, breaking several WNBA records and earned her first Defensive Player of the Year award.
Angel Reese opens up on “embarrassing” moment during practice
Reese recalled Karl Smesko pausing a practice session earlier this season. The Atlanta head coach only resumed it once she made two consecutive three-pointers.
“I remember a very moment in training camp where we were going through drills,” Reese said. “He stopped everybody and told me I had to make two in a row in front of everybody. And you never want to shy down your teammates. You never want to let your teammates down. We couldn’t resume the drill until I made the two in a row. And I was upset with him that day for sure because I didn’t want to let the team down. I didn’t want to feel embarrassed of how long it could have took me to make them. Now it’s like so easy.”
Angel Reese says Dream coach Karl Smesko paused a team drill during training camp until she could make two 3-pointers in a row.
Reese doesn’t remember how many tries it took her to make the 3s, but admits, “I was pretty embarrassed.”
They’re going to the Finals now. https://t.co/gA07GmK5CR

The three-time All-Star has shown this year that she is more comfortable attempting shots from beyond the arc. She knocked down 11 triples in the regular-season and five in the playoffs.
