In the wonderful world of sibling rivalries, Angel and Julian Reese are proving that no one does it better. The WNBA star hilariously called out her little brother Julian after he made a bold—and questionable—claim about her shooting hand. And trust us, this is peak sibling banter.
It all started when Julian, currently a senior at Maryland, sat down for a quick Q&A on the social media channel NBA Future Stars Now. During the session, the topic of conversation inevitably turned to his big sis, Angel, who’s currently making waves with the Chicago Sky in the WNBA.
In what can only be described as a totally outlandish comment, Julian confidently said that Angel—who is right-handed, by the way—randomly switched to shooting with her left hand because she wanted to be like him. Yes, you read that right.
Naturally, Angel had thoughts. She took to social media and clapped back in the most hilariously big-sister way possible.
“My baby brotherrr💞😭 not you lying saying I switched hands cause I wanted to be like you stoppp itttt😭🤣,” she wrote, packing in just the right mix of sibling love and eye-rolling disbelief.
Julian Dials Down the Sibling Rivalry… a Little
But, in typical brotherly fashion, Julian didn’t just throw shade. He also gave his sister some major props during the Q&A. He praised Angel for teaching him to stay focused and to “never cheat the game.” Awww, isn’t that sweet?
Still, Angel wasn’t about to let him off the hook completely. After all, this is the same Julian who once claimed he won more games than her growing up—a statement Angel swiftly shut down in an interview last year.
Sibling Scorecard: Angel Calls BS… Again
During a March Madness interview in 2023, Julian boldly declared that he had beaten Angel around “100 to 20” in their childhood face-offs. Unsurprisingly, Angel called BS on that faster than a fast break.
“100 to 20?! He’s out of his mind. He knows I’ve got the better shoe game—he just buys expensive stuff though,” Angel quipped, with all the swagger of an elder sibling who knows the truth.
But wait, there’s more! Angel also dropped a hilarious truth bomb about their childhood dynamic, admitting that she was the true troublemaker. However, she somehow managed to pull off the ultimate sibling move: getting Julian punished for her mischief. Talk about next-level sibling skills.
“I probably was the troublemaker because I would do it, and he would get in trouble for it,” she admitted, with zero shame.
The Reese Sibling Rivalry Rolls On
If this delightful exchange proves anything, it’s that the Reese siblings know how to keep things competitive—and hilarious. With Julian heading into his senior season at Maryland, after averaging an impressive 13.7 points and 9.5 rebounds last year, the sibling banter is sure to continue.
As for Angel, well, she’s busy making her mark in the WNBA, but you can bet she’ll always have time to correct her little brother when he steps out of line—whether it’s on the court or in a Q&A.
