WNBA Fans turned a wholesome moment into another online debate after Gabrielle Union spoke about bringing her daughter to watch Angel Reese play.
@CinemaBlend posted an interview clip and reported that, “”GOAT” star Gabrielle Union talks about how heartwarming it is bringing her daughter to see Angel Reese play and the larger impact of having women in leadership roles.”
The clip focused on representation and the value of young girls seeing women shine on big stages. For many WNBA Fans, that was the headline.
Angel Reese herself reposted the tweet from @CinemaBlend and added, “I love @itsgabrielleu & tell my girl Kaav i miss herrrrr!!!”
That response showed appreciation and warmth. It was a simple exchange that many WNBA Fans saw as positive and genuine.
But not everyone kept it that way. @MGM47061 just can’t skip past Angel Reese’s shooting stats saying, “Amusing. Taking her daughter to educate her in the art of missing layups to get more rebounds!”
The comment quickly drew attention from WNBA Fans who have long debated Reese’s efficiency versus her rebounding numbers.
Then @stealer1 echoed what most fans say although he was the only one who directly replied saying, “U mad or naw?” clearly calling out what they believed was hate rather than analysis.
The reaction shows how WNBA Fans often split between praise and criticism in seconds. A moment about impact and leadership quickly shifted into a stat argument. For some WNBA Fans, Reese represents growth and visibility in the league. For others, numbers remain the main focus.
In today’s online culture, even a compliment from a Hollywood star can turn into a box score debate.
WNBA Fans Show Love To Angel Reese As Supporters Promise To Pull Up This Season
While some WNBA Fans focused on criticism, others made it clear they simply miss seeing Angel Reese on the floor.
@Thomasgyn0q4vq was among the fans that can’t wait to see her back in action saying, “I miss you on my TV screen goat. Im going to come to the Wintrust this season to see you.”
That excitement reflects how invested many WNBA Fans have become in her journey.
@softwire444 was another saying, “We miss you” and added, “Kah didn’t send me.” The playful comment showed loyalty, something WNBA Fans consistently display when backing their favorite players.
For a large group of WNBA Fans, Reese’s presence goes beyond stats. Her energy, confidence, and personality have built a strong following. The support online proves that WNBA Fans connect with more than numbers. They connect with visibility and identity.
The divide in reactions highlights something bigger. Fans continue to make her one of the most talked-about names in the league.
