Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese is taking heat after sharing a strange post to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday night.
The former LSU star was unfortunate to have her first season in the WNBA cut short by injury and has since lost out to Caitlin Clark in the Rooie of the Year race after what was a hotly contested rivalry battle.
Reese strangely took to said platform to share a message that had some fans praising her, while others called her out for “Narcissism” and being “delusional.”
“I’ve never in my life had privilege but I definitely know the power I have through my platform,” Reese wrote. “That didn’t come overnight. I grew that on my OWN. With that being said, I will continue to use my voice in the right way & say what’s right even though it has backfired on me to be this “villain”. I won’t stop!!”
“Forever rocking with you 5❤️,” a follower commented.
“We support you. Just ignore the haters. Its sad these people exist, but they only say your name because that is the only way they get views,” another wrote.
“And we 10 toes down with you and for you! Keep cooking and clocking! On and off the court!” someone said.
“Now THIS is Narcissism Holy Hell,” another user claimed.
“I’m sorry that you are delusional. You did all this to yourself,” said another.
“Start with your fans bullying your teammates,” one comment read.
“You ain’t say sht when yo teammates was crying during a postgame interview. Cause yo fans was attacking them but go off 🤷🏿♂️,” another claimed.
“You told the world after the NCAA game. You accepted this challenge in attempt to grow the WNBA. You remember that ? You wanted the villain role,” someone else recalled.
Angel Reese Asked To Be The “Bad Guy” Earlier This Year
It’s unclear what prompted this message from the rookie, but she did claim she would embrace the “bad guy role” back in June.
Meanwhile, things will be different for Reese and Sky next season as the organization has fired head coach Theresa Weatherspoon after a disappointing campaign that saw them miss the playoffs.
Angel Reese Made The Most Surprising Bet Ever On Shaquille O’Neal Missing A Free-Throw, And The Result Is Not What Anyone Expected

In a surprising moment that has caught the attention of sports fans and social media, Angel Reese, a rising star in the WNBA, made headlines with a bold bet involving NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. The bet, which revolved around O’Neal’s notorious free-throw shooting skills, ended in a way that no one anticipated
Reese, known for her competitive spirit, jokingly wagered $100,000 that O’Neal would miss a free throw, as seen in a video she posted Wednesday on her Instagram Story. “$100,000 dollars if you make this shot. Let’s see,” Reese said. O’Neal’s well-documented struggles with free throws during his NBA career made this bet particularly audacious. The two were in a gym, seemingly filming content, when the bet was made.
To her surprise, the 52-year-old Hall of Famer made the free throw easily. Reese, whose NIL valuation is $1.8 million, according to On3, wrote in the clip, “I guess I owe him $100k,” accompanied by a loud crying face emoji.
Angel Reese and Shaquille O’Neal have a close relationship, with the Chicago Sky forward affectionately calling him “uncle.” Their bond started during her time at LSU, where O’Neal is also an alumnus. He has supported her throughout her career, and their fun interaction over the bet highlights their friendship.
The bet was significant because it represented much of Reese’s salary as a rookie in the WNBA. She signed a four-year contract worth about $324,383, averaging around $81,096 per year. By betting $100,000—more than 20% of her total contract—Reese raised eyebrows among fans and critics. Several lucrative sponsorship deals with brands like Reebok and Reese’s Pieces support Reese’s finances despite losing the bet.
