In the latest episode of Unapologetically Angel, Angel Reese swapped her usual paint-dominating swagger for a deep dive into WNBA sharpshooters. Joined by the hilariously unpredictable Funny Marco, the Chicago Sky forward didn’t just keep it real—she kept it long-range.
Reese, known for muscling her way to the basket, revealed she’s been quietly cooking up a plan to extend her shooting arsenal. In classic Reese fashion, she didn’t hold back when Marco popped the question: Who’s got the purest stroke in the W? Without missing a beat, Reese crowned a trio of queens.
“Caitlin Clark, Diana Taurasi… and Sabrina Ionescu,” she said at the 5:48 mark of the podcast, almost daring anyone to disagree.
Funny Marco, never one to let a moment slide, quickly chimed in with, “What about Jewell Loyd though? Put her in Chicago, and it’s over!” Cue the chaos. Marco imagined Loyd running wild with Chennedy Carter, adding, “Plus, you got that new coach—dude’s got rings from the Aces. He knows how to get the job done.”
The Sniper Showdown
Let’s break down Reese’s top picks.
- Caitlin Clark: The rookie phenom who treats half-court shots like layups. She’s been terrorizing defenses since her college days, and in the WNBA, she’s made it clear she’s not here to blend in—she’s here to take over.
- Diana Taurasi: The OG. The G.O.A.T. The three-time champion and Phoenix Mercury icon who could probably sink a three with her eyes closed. Taurasi’s name is practically engraved in the WNBA’s record books, and her range? Limitless.
- Sabrina Ionescu: The all-around assassin. Ionescu, often dubbed the prototype for modern guards, has been breaking ankles and draining triples since she set foot in the league. If Clark is the future, Ionescu is the now.
Shooting Her Shot
Meanwhile, Reese isn’t just talking about shooters—she’s working on becoming one. After a rookie season that saw her thrive under the rim, Reese has heard the critics chirping. “All she does is post up,” they said. “Can she even shoot?” Well, she’s answering with a resounding watch me.
Over the weekend, Reese’s offseason workout video sent the internet into a frenzy. The clip showed her casually draining corner threes and long twos like she was born to do it. Not bad for a player who built her rookie campaign on pure power and finesse in the paint.
And while the internet had plenty to say, Reese decided to let her game do the talking. “Until I’m married,” she joked in a recent episode, “my only love is basketball.”
The Road Ahead
With the 2025 season looming, Reese is clearly gearing up to become a dual threat. Her aim? To silence doubters and maybe even join the very sniper squad she admires. Imagine a Chicago Sky lineup where Reese is bombing from deep and smashing in the paint. Opponents better start prepping now—or risk becoming the next victims of the Sky’s rise.
Until then, Reese is doing what she does best: staying unapologetically herself. Whether she’s roasting Marco or plotting her three-point takeover, one thing’s clear—she’s here to dominate on her terms.
And as for Caitlin, Sabrina, and Diana? They’d better make room on the throne. Angel Reese is coming for a seat.
