In a world where WNBA stars are showing off more than just their basketball skills, Angel Reese is leading the charge with some Gen-Z flair and TikTok-worthy antics. The Chicago Sky forward and future Unrivaled League star recently turned her team’s practice facility into the set of a comedic musical challenge that fans can’t stop laughing about.
Reese, with her infectious energy, was seen on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), asking her fellow Unrivaled players to complete the lyrics to LiAngelo Ball’s latest track, Tweaker. What followed was a chaotic yet hilarious spectacle of off-key singing, outright refusals, and a whole lot of good-natured banter.
Kahleah Cooper’s New Nickname? Grandma!
Before diving into the lyrics challenge, Reese set the tone by humorously dubbing her teammate, Kahleah Cooper, “grandma.” While the Mercury star took the ribbing in stride, her reaction during the challenge solidified her role as the team’s comedic anchor.
When Reese approached her for the challenge, Cooper looked utterly bewildered. “I’ve never heard that before,” she said, glancing nervously at a teammate who tried (and failed) to belt out the tune in the background. For Cooper, it was less about lyrical prowess and more about survival.
Dearica Hamby’s Woeful ‘Woah’
If there were awards for the worst attempt at completing song lyrics, LA Sparks’ Dearica Hamby would win by a landslide. Reese couldn’t help but circle back to Hamby after her hilariously offbeat rendition of the word “woah.” Watching Hamby fumble was the gift that kept on giving, and Reese milked the moment with glee.
Alyssa Thomas: The Anti-Singer
Alyssa Thomas, on the other hand, wasn’t having any of it. The forward barely glanced at the camera and flatly declared, “You ain’t gonna get me to sing.” The audacity! In a room filled with chaos, Thomas was the stoic anti-hero we didn’t know we needed.
Chelsea Gray’s Instant Dance Move
Chelsea Gray, however, stole the show in a way only she could. At first, she looked utterly clueless about the lyrics Reese was referencing. Then, in a plot twist worthy of a blockbuster, Gray jumped into a dance position, ready to bust a move. Who needs lyrics when you’ve got rhythm?
Angel Reese Brings the Energy
The video concluded with Reese showing off her own moves, proving she’s not just about fun and games—she’s got some serious charisma to boot. The Rose club, featuring Reese alongside stars like Kahleah Cooper and Brittney Sykes, is sure to bring the same energy to the inaugural Unrivaled League season starting Jan. 17.
Stephen A. Smith Weighs In
But it wasn’t all laughs for Reese this week. After facing backlash for a revealing New Year’s Eve outfit, she deleted her Instagram account. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith weighed in with a rather preachy take, comparing Reese’s branding choices to those of Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
“She’s a beautiful young lady,” Smith noted during a segment, before cautioning Reese about the pitfalls of dressing provocatively in the public eye. “You can’t complain about being objectified later on… especially when Caitlin Clark isn’t doing such things.”
Yikes, Stephen! Maybe focus on the lyrics challenge next time—it’s a lot more fun than dissecting outfits.
What’s Next for Reese?
For now, Reese remains a social media powerhouse, sharing updates on TikTok and X as she gears up for her Unrivaled League debut. With a personality as big as her game, fans can’t wait to see what shenanigans she’ll pull off next.
One thing’s for sure—whether it’s singing, dancing, or balling out on the court, Angel Reese knows how to keep us entertained. Stay tuned for Jan. 17, when the Rose club tips off the season and Reese brings her viral vibes to the hardwood.
