In an episode of her hit podcast Unapologetically Angel, WNBA sensation Angel Reese sent social media into a frenzy when she hilariously dismissed YouTuber Funny Marco’s playful claims of flirting. The 22-year-old Chicago Sky forward, known for her sharp court skills and even sharper wit, reminded everyone why she’s not just a star athlete but also a podcast queen with a knack for shutting down nonsense.
During their lively exchange, Funny Marco, true to his name, tried to charm his way into Reese’s heart—or maybe just her podcast title. But Angel wasn’t having it. When Marco cheekily suggested she was flirting, Reese dropped the mic-worthy line:
“I don’t do short kings, sorry.”
Ouch. If Marco’s ego wasn’t already on life support, this one-liner likely pulled the plug.
“Flirting? No, Clickbait!”
Angel, who recently wrapped up her stellar rookie season with the WNBA’s Chicago Sky, is no stranger to the spotlight. From being the No. 7 overall draft pick to earning All-Star status in her first professional season, Reese has dominated headlines for all the right reasons. But apparently, Marco thought he could steal a little bit of her shine with his claims.
Reese, however, was quick to call him out. “I’ll record the podcast right now, ‘Oh yeah, Angel and Funny Marco were flirting with each other.’ People are really going to click on that,” she joked. Marco’s attempt to spin the narrative as mutual affection was met with her unapologetic and hilarious rebuttal.
Reese’s Dating Criteria: A Tall Task
Angel Reese, standing at a statuesque 6’3″, isn’t settling for less—literally. She revealed her dating prerequisites during the podcast, stating with a laugh, “He’s gotta be tall, like 6’7” to 6’8”. Being a tall girl isn’t easy.” If you’re a guy with a Napoleon complex, don’t even think about sliding into her DMs.
In fact, Reese pointed out that her height criteria automatically excludes over 90% of the male population. But hey, when you’re a WNBA star with a basketball network that includes 7-footers galore, the dating pool gets a bit taller—pun intended.
Past, Present, and No Short Kings in the Future
Angel’s last high-profile relationship was with 6’7″ forward Cam’Ron Fletcher, but that ended in March, a month before the WNBA Draft. Since then, she’s been fiercely independent. In a candid Instagram Live, she shut down any rumors of a new romance, declaring, “I don’t got no man. Don’t attach me to no man. That’s all I’mma say.”
Her focus now? Basketball. With the Unrivaled League kicking off in January, Reese has no time for distractions—especially not from flirtatious YouTubers who fall short of her standards. Literally.
Funny Marco: Clickbait King or Casanova Wannabe?
Funny Marco may have tried his best to impress Angel, but the interaction has left fans wondering: Was this genuine flirting or just a clever attempt at creating viral content? Reese herself seemed to suspect the latter, dubbing Marco the “clickbait king” mid-podcast.
While the banter was undoubtedly entertaining, one thing is clear—Reese isn’t easily charmed, especially by someone who doesn’t measure up. The episode has since garnered massive attention online, with fans praising Angel’s humor, independence, and ability to turn even the most awkward moments into podcast gold.
Tall, Confident, and Unapologetically Angel
As Reese gears up for her second season and a new chapter with the Unrivaled League, she’s proving that she’s not just an athlete but a force to be reckoned with both on and off the court. Whether it’s dunking basketballs or dunking on Funny Marco, Angel Reese knows how to deliver—and she’s doing it with style, wit, and a whole lot of confidence.
So, to all the “short kings” out there hoping to win her over? Don’t bother. She’s got her eyes on the game, not the sidelines.
