The year kicked off with Angel Reese’s recruiting pitch for Kahleah Copper hitting the floor. But like any classic Gartner Hype Cycle, we started in the Trough of Disillusionment, soared into the Peak of Inflated Expectations, and are now gently sliding into the Slope of Reconciliation.
June’s first half was pure fireworks. The WNBA fans’ X timeline saw its longest back-and-forth this season. Spoiler alert: Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper traded barbs like it was the finals. But soon, Copper hit Reese with an on-court revenge. She stole both, a win over the Sky and Reese’s signature line: “DUBS IN THE M* CHATTTT.”
And now? As Gartner predicted, we’ve entered the comedown. Following a crushing 67-83 loss to the Mercury, a sidelined Reese didn’t hold a grudge. Rather, she embraced Copper like a long-lost sister, complete with on-court smiles and hugs. The two looked like they never even had a feud to begin with.
