Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had quite the rookie campaign breaking the league’s record for rookie double-doubles.

Reese finished the year with averages of 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game, helping her finish second behind Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the Rookie of the Year voting.

Her performances not only broke records on the court, but they also helped bring new fans to the WNBA in 2024. Her popularity was no doubt helped by her college battle with Clark, with fans of the two carrying their fandom over to the official ranks.

Along with casual fans, celebrities and NBA stars were regularly seen at Sky games this season. One of these NBA stars was Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, who was in attendance for the Sky vs New York Liberty game back in June.

Things didn’t go to plan for Reese that day as she was thrown out, though Ball personally offered to pay whatever fine was set to come her way

Ball actually sent money to Reese

Ball recently appeared on Reese’s ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast, with the Sky star revealing he sent her $2,000 for what ended up being a $200 fine.

“You gave me $2,000,” Reese said. “Do you know how much my fine actually was? It was only $200.”

The fact Ball sent more money than the actual fine has caused a stir amongst fans online, with plenty of them backing Ball’s generosity.

“Good guy Zo,” wrote one fan, while another stated: “$2,000 is crazy.”

Another added: “Lonzo got that bag lmaooo.”

However there was one fan who wasn’t as impressed given Ball’s huge salary with the Bulls.

“I mean he making 20 million that’s lunch money lol,” a fan stated.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.

Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:

“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.

I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
