Angel Reese is no stranger to the spotlight—whether it’s draining buckets on the court or turning heads courtside at NBA games. But lately, the Chicago Sky star has been battling an opponent far more exhausting than a full-court press: internet trolls and sensational headlines.
The latest offense? A viral Snapchat tab falsely claiming Reese had quit the WNBA. Yes, you read that right. Quit. As if the 22-year-old forward, who breathes competitive fire, just decided to hang up her sneakers for a lifetime supply of popcorn and courtside selfies.
Understandably, fans were not having it. Social media exploded with outrage faster than Reese’s signature fast-break layups. “Can’t even search her name on YouTube it’s so bad,” one fan lamented. Another added, “I just keep reporting everything I can!” TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat—you name it, fans have their digital pitchforks ready.
But let’s set the record straight: Angel Reese isn’t going anywhere except back on the court. After an injury-shortened rookie season, she’s gearing up to dominate in the upcoming Unrivaled League alongside stars like Chelsea Gray and Kahleah Copper. Spoiler alert: opponents, prepare yourselves.
Courtside Shenanigans and Critics’ Hot Takes
Off the court, Reese has also faced criticism for her courtside NBA appearances. Apparently, sitting in a folding chair and watching basketball is now a crime? Some critics even went as far as calling her a jinx for the teams she supports.
Well, plot twist: Reese was in Orlando recently to watch the Magic take on the Celtics, and guess what? The Magic pulled off a jaw-dropping 108-104 victory over the reigning champs. Reese took to social media with the swagger of a victorious gladiator, reposting the Magic’s clip and asking, “What’s my record at NBA games now?”
Critics, you may kindly take a seat.
