Angel Reese has called her younger brother out for lying after he made a curious claim about her shooting.

The Chicago Sky forward has played out a season in the WNBA and is looking forward to year two after having her personal campaign shut down prematurely due to injury.

Angel has a younger brother named Julian “JuJu” Reese, who recently claimed she shoots with her left hand because she wanted to shoot like him.

“We both shoot with our left hands, but she’s really right-handed. But she just wanted to shoot like me, so she switched them left-handed randomly,” JuJu claimed in an interview.

Reese caught wind of his explanation this week and took to social media to address it.

“My baby brotherrr💞😭 not you lying saying i switched hands cause i wanted to be like you stoppp itttt,” she wrote.

The Sky rookie is actually ambidextrous, so she can use both hands to score.

Angel Reese And Her Brother Grew Up Playing Ball Together

Angel Reese and her younger brother come from a basketball family, with their mother also having played. They grew up playing together in Maryland, something Angel says helped shape her career.

“We played all the time together,” she told ‘What’s Up?’ back in 2022. “It helped shape me to who I am now.”

Julian insists he won most of their one-on-one matchups.

The senior currently plays for the Maryland Terrapins and is making a name for himself on the back of his sister’s rise to fame. JuJu, who averaged 13.7 points and 9.5 rebounds a game last season, considers the WNBA star an inspiration.
