Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky sensation, has found herself at the center of an off-season social media frenzy. And no, it’s not because of her on-court rebounding skills; this time, she’s blowing up the internet with a TikTok dance that features none other than Kiyan Anthony, son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony. If TikTok has a Hall of Fame for unexpected dance duos, this pair might just be inducted.
Reese and young Anthony casually threw down some moves on TikTok, racking up over 1.8 million views as fans tried to process this unexpected combo. Reese’s fans, used to her dominating the paint rather than a dance floor, could barely handle it. One fan commented, “Forget WNBA – Reese’s got rhythm!” Another joked, “When’s the album dropping, Reese?” Talk about a career pivot.
And let’s just say Reese’s fans are excited for her comeback. After a rough injury setback, she’s itching to get back on the court, averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds in her first season with the Sky. With that competitive edge, we can safely assume she’ll be dancing through defenses once the WNBA season starts again. For now, though, she’s showing off those moves off the court – and maybe working on a backup career plan?
Kiyan, meanwhile, is gearing up to make a name for himself outside his dad’s NBA shadow, taking the basketball world by storm at the high school level. If this TikTok was any indication, the future NBA star isn’t shy about making waves on and off the court. So, could we be looking at the next era of basketball dynasty? A young star, with Reese as his seasoned TikTok partner – we’ll be watching the next season of “Dancing with the Rising Stars” if they want to throw Reese and Kiyan on the cast.
Their dance has left fans hoping that this off-season tease means more collabs are coming. Maybe Reese and Kiyan could even bring some moves courtside – now that would be worth the price of admission.
