Angel Reese and Ben Simmons are at the highest level in their respective sports. Of course, Reese is just starting her journey in the WNBA, and Simmons is starting his seventh year in the NBA.
In her young career, Reese has mostly become known for her rebounding ability but not so much for her ability to create shots and be extremely accurate.
That’s why it is rumored that she will be working with Simmons to improve her jump shot before her second season starts.
Of course, though, this report was put out by an X user named NBACentel, who has become very famous for being a parody account that posts false information as a joke.
Still, many on social media had a field day with the “news,” about Reese and Simmons.
Reese’s rookie season field goal percentage was 39.1, which was still much worse than Simmons’s 54.4% this season through 12 games played.
Angel Reese Opened Up About Her Transition From Maryland To LSU
Reese had an amazing collegiate career with LSU, but many don’t know she played at Maryland her first two seasons.
She’s since opened up about the process of transferring to LSU on her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast.
“Getting up and transferring, it’s scary,” Reese said. “But I won a national championship from it. So I was like, ‘I got something out of it.’
“It wasn’t a perfect situation. Every day I didn’t come to practice like, ‘Yeah, I love being here.’ But at the end of the day, I got what I wanted out of it. Now I look back and I love LSU,” she continued.

Caitlin Clark’s younger brother has put a WNBA owner on blast over her bizarre comments on the Indiana Fever star.
Washington Mystics owner Sheila Johnson threw some shade at the point guard, claiming the WNBA should have been named “League of the Year’ by TIME magazine instead of Clark being recognized as the publication’s “Athlete of the Year.
Johnson claimed Angel Reese and other players bring as many eyes, if not more, than Clark, which we can safely say is not the case.
X’s Community Notes dropped some knowledge on Johnson, pointing out that “31% of the Mystics total home attendance for the entire 2024 season came from the two games versus Clark and the Fever.”
You can hear her explanation in the clip below:

Caitlin’s little brother, Colin Clark, responded to Johnson’s claims by reposting a tweet from Front Office Sports noting over 20,000 fans attended a Mystics game.
The crowd was the biggest in league history. Of course, it’s because they were playing the Fever.
While Reese and other WNBA stars have done their part in increasing the WNBA’s popularity, it’s hard to argue that anyone comes close to Clark in such regard.
