Angel Reese is trending again. However, WNBA fans seem to mock her whenever they get the chance to do so.
An account on X recently claimed that the Chi-Town Barbie had been voted the “Prettiest Female Athlete” in America. No official poll, outlet, or voting body was attached to the post, but that didn’t stop WNBA fans from flooding the replies within minutes.
Some immediately questioned the legitimacy.

Others turned it into a comparison debate. @CantoRobinHood posted, “Sophie Cunningham would like a word.”
There were also measured takes. @NoWitTwit commented, “Which has nothing to do with skill in basketball. But she is pretty.”
The lack of sourcing didn’t slow the traction. If anything, it added fuel. WNBA fans are used to Reese trending for reasons beyond basketball — whether it’s fashion, endorsements, or personality. The post felt like another example of how quickly conversations around her shift away from the hardwood.
Still, even critics acknowledged that appearance-based titles have nothing to do with performance. And with Reese preparing to return to action, attention is once again moving back to the court.
“I haven’t seen 14 missed layups in a while”: WNBA fans mock Angel Reese ahead of her Unrivaled return
Reese is set to rejoin Rose BC in the Unrivaled 3×3 league as they prepare to face Hive BC. Her comeback has been highly anticipated, especially after she previously hinted at stepping away from the second season.
But as usual, WNBA fans met the news with mixed energy.
@DbcDdeeaannc joked, “Oh great…I haven’t seen 14 missed layups in a while.”
@unknown6612sd added, “Great. Now go score a layup without farming rebounds.”
At the same time, supporters showed up. @bridget_xox wrote, “You are GLOWING sis. can’t wait to watch you hoop.”
That split reaction has become part of the Reese experience. She draws strong opinions — praise and criticism often arriving in equal measure.
With Rose BC welcoming her back, the focus now shifts to production. Whether WNBA fans tune in to support or scrutinize, one thing is consistent: when Angel Reese’s name surfaces, the conversation rarely stays quiet for long.
