Angel Reese’s Game 1 Minidress Stirs Fan Reaction
The WNBA posted a photo of Reese walking Atlanta’s State Farm Arena tunnel prior to the game in tight-fitting black minidress with an exotic looking designer bag, and as usual her presence incited all kinds of reactions from social media.
“Is she going to the strip club,” one envious fan asked.
“Its further proof that you don’t have to actually work for it anymore or earn it with merit as long as WNBA wants you to look successful,” said one X user who is clearly unfamiliar with Reese’s accomplishments.
That comment received plenty of pushback.
“Stop sexualizing her geez guys!!! That’s not nice,” said one netizen who jumped into the comments to defend Reese.
“The most hated Black athlete since Kaepernick,” expressed on X user, comparing Reese to the blackballed former NFL quarterback.
Being the most popular WNBA star on social media, with nearly 5 million followers, has built Reese a legion of fans who are always ready to correct false narratives and check haters. They happen to love her style.
“Runway energy,” gushed another user.
“Love me some Bayou Barbie, always looking good.”
“To dominate on and off the court like that is truly a talent,” another Reese fan said.
“She’s going to the Finals and they hate it,” one WNBA fan chimed in.
Reese’s Atlanta Dream meet the Liberty for Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals on Wednesday Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta. Reese’s pregame attire is sure to trigger the WNBA fan base before the game starts.
