Speedy Morman, the charismatic on-camera host known for stirring up lively debates, walked right into a basketball buzzsaw during his appearance on Angel Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. The episode, which aired Thursday, started innocently enough, with Reese casually probing Morman’s love for the WNBA. What followed was a hilarious and eyebrow-raising segment that has the basketball world talking.
After Morman professed his admiration for the league, Reese, ever the sharp interviewer, wanted to make sure he wasn’t just another bandwagon fan. She challenged him to name his top five WNBA players. Easy enough, right? Not for Morman.
He kicked off his list by hilariously naming a player who isn’t even in the league. Angel, who doubles as both a basketball star and a podcast host with impeccable timing, was quick to call him out.
“Angel Reese, Flau’jae,” Morman began, to which Reese interjected with mock disbelief, “Flau’jae isn’t in the league!”
Unfazed, Morman kept going, delivering a list that included himself (well, Angel Reese, but same energy) and several league stalwarts: Sabrina Ionescu, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Lexie Brown. If you’re keeping count, that’s six names in his “Top 5.” But the most glaring omission? Caitlin Clark.
Yes, Caitlin Clark—the generational talent whose rookie season smashed viewership records and packed arenas—didn’t even get a shoutout. For someone who’s practically a walking highlight reel, it’s a glaring snub that didn’t go unnoticed by fans.
Morman’s Witty Defense? “I Love the WNBA”
To his credit, Morman seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the league, but his haphazard approach to naming favorites drew plenty of chuckles. By the end of his list, he added, “Yeah, I love the WNBA.” Love, it seems, is subjective.
Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, continues to win over fans with her on-court dominance and off-court humility. WNBA analyst Meghan McKeown recently reflected on Clark’s maturity, recounting her early college days:
“I was like, ‘Caitlin Clark is talking to me like she’s 30 years old.’ She was so well-spoken. Even when addressing her turnovers, she showed such poise.”
Angel Reese Steals the Show
Despite the Caitlin Clark snub, Angel Reese managed to steal the spotlight in her own right. Her witty banter and playful digs at Morman reminded fans why she’s not only a basketball star but also a budding media powerhouse.
As for Morman, he may want to brush up on his WNBA stats before his next podcast appearance. Who knows? Maybe Caitlin Clark will make his list next time—assuming he can stick to just five players.
Until then, we’ll leave you with this piece of advice, Speedy: It’s not about loving the WNBA; it’s about loving it accurately.
