Angel Reese has shut up the doubters on the big stage, putting up impressive stat lines in the Finals like her 30-point, 16-rebound clinic in Game 2, followed by another 21 points and 12 boards in Game 3.
She's stepped up as a serious postseason force, proving she's way more than just a rebounding machine. But while her game is talking loud on the court, some of her off-court antics and outspoken personality continue to split opinions and ruffle feathers across the league.
With just 28 seconds left on the clock in the win over the Valkyries, Angel Reese couldn't help but rub it in. She pinched her thumb and index finger together to hit the "tiny" gesture, then topped it off by flashing a cold goodbye wave to seal the victory.
Some lip-readers even claim that it was aimed at Aminata Gueye, as she also dropped the 'You a b**' line right before her gesture, as Hater Report shared the clip.
However, some fans weren't too happy and questioned the need for her actions on X.
One fans suggested a double standard in the WNBA: "If Caitlin Clark did this."
"Come on Valkyries, bounce back and teach Reece a lesson in humility." Another said.
This supporter said: "I like Angel, but this is why people don't. It's very easy to see why some WNBA players are adored and others, not-so-much and it boils down to one thing: sportsmanship."
Her attitude was called into question again: "If I was Shaq and Reebok? I'd be distancing. Who wants this attitude?"
Love her or hate her, that's just Angel Reese. She plays with her heart on her sleeve and feeds off the chaos. A deep divide has split fans into Clark and Reese camps, but both stars bring an undeniable energy that's pushing the WNBA to new heights.
