In a world where rivalries can ignite like fireworks, Angel Reese and Lexie Hull have decided to team up and rewrite the script. Their partnership on Rose BC in the upcoming Unrivaled tournament is the kind of unexpected twist that sports fans live for. If you thought Reese and Caitlin Clark’s rivalry in the WNBA was spicy, wait until you see Reese joining forces with Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate, Hull. Buckle up, basketball fans—this ride promises drama, dunks, and perhaps a few sarcastic sideline cheers.
“First Day Out” and Already Making Waves
On Sunday, Rose BC made their highly anticipated debut with a workout that combined sweat, scrimmages, and some serious hype. Lexie Hull, never one to miss a social media moment, shared a clip of the session on Instagram with the caption, “First Day Out.” Angel Reese, ever the hypewoman, couldn’t contain her excitement. During Hull’s photoshoot, Reese could be heard cheering in the background with an enthusiasm that could rival a halftime show:
“Go, Lex!!! Okay! Okay! Okay!”
For a duo that some skeptics thought might be awkward given their WNBA allegiances, this public display of camaraderie was like seeing a cat and a dog share a cozy nap.
From Rivals to Running Mates
Reese, the Chicago Sky star lovingly dubbed “Chi Barbie,” and Hull, the sharpshooter from the Fever, aren’t just teammates—they’re the talk of the tournament. Skeptics speculated that any lingering tension from Reese’s battles with Hull’s Fever compatriots might surface. Instead, it seems they’ve chosen to channel their competitiveness into teamwork.
Coach Nola Henry’s Rose BC squad isn’t just banking on Reese and Hull’s chemistry. The roster is a powerhouse lineup, featuring heavyweights like Kahleah Copper, Brittney Sykes, Azura Stevens, and captain Chelsea Gray. Let’s just say this team could intimidate even the most seasoned streetball legends.
Unrivaled Anticipation
Angel Reese, one of the first big names to commit to Unrivaled, was a headline-grabber when she joined in July. Co-founder Napheesa Collier even called her a game-changer. But the plot thickened in October when Lexie Hull was added to the roster as the 29th player in the league’s pool. With Hull’s announcement, Fever fans finally got a reason to start rooting for Unrivaled, even if it meant embracing a surprising new alliance.
Now, with Hull and Reese sharing the same jersey, basketball fans have been buzzing with a mix of curiosity, excitement, and “How is this going to work?” memes.
A Dark Horse Team in the Making
Rose BC isn’t just making noise—they’re shaping up to be the tournament’s dark horse. With Reese bringing her larger-than-life personality and Hull’s sniper-like shooting, this team might just sneak up and steal the inaugural Unrivaled crown. If Sunday’s workout was any indication, they’re not here to play around. Well, metaphorically, anyway—of course, they’re here to literally play basketball.
The Unrivaled tournament tips off in mid-January, and fans are already marking their calendars. If this dynamic duo can keep the sparks flying on the court the way they do off it, Rose BC might just turn out to be the squad nobody saw coming.
So, prepare yourselves, sports fans. Whether they’re dishing assists or dishing out sarcastic jabs, Reese and Hull are ready to make Unrivaled a season to remember.
