WNBA fans found themselves pulled into another unexpected discussion after @DetroitPistons shared a behind-the-scenes clip of Jalen Duren from a recent pictorial, captioned “Unbreakable Dawg [flexed biceps emoji description].” What started as a simple post quickly shifted once replies began connecting the video to old Angel Reese rumors.
One of the first replies to travel was from @Clapped_Dre, who bluntly wrote, “Angel Reese might be dumb,” referencing past online talk that Reese and Duren may have dated before Reese ended up with her current partner.

The thread escalated further when @Yadukeskrib added, “Women like to be worshipped. When it comes to relationships they stick longer w the niggas they can control better.”
That post might split WNBA fans sharply.
For WNBA fans, this moment isn’t just about who may or may not have dated who. It highlighted how easily attention slides from a player’s work to their personal life, and how fast those side conversations turn judgmental. Many pointed out that Reese’s name was trending again without her posting anything at all.
By the end of the day, the replies said more about online culture than about either athlete. WNBA fans once again turned a harmless post into a full-scale debate over respect, assumptions, and how women in sports are talked about when they aren’t even in the room.
WNBA Fans Debate Coaching and Expectations After New Angel Reese Clip
WNBA fans didn’t stay focused on rumors for long. A separate discussion took off after @ar5source shared an interview clip of Sky coach Tyler Marsh talking about Angel Reese’s development.
In the video, Marsh said, “From a playing standpoint she’s a lot more versatile than some people give her credit for…” The quote quickly made the rounds, pulling WNBA fans into another familiar split: belief versus frustration.
Some welcomed the comment, seeing it as overdue recognition. Others weren’t convinced. @AlexaRae97712 replied bluntly, “He’s such a fraud. TSpoon was a much better coach.”
That take drew support from WNBA fans who still measure everything against the previous staff and believe Reese needs a different system to reach her ceiling.
Another reply from @Ankhzed cut straight to the point: “Just put winning players around her and Milla then sir.”
The message echoed a broader sentiment among WNBA fans that talk means little without roster results to match it.
Both threads are still active, proving how often Reese’s name pulls people in from every angle. Whether the topic is coaching, growth, or online noise, WNBA fans continue to treat her as one of the league’s biggest lightning rods.
