Fans are surprised by what she said

It is no secret that Angel Reese is a big fan of Las Vegas Aces star A’Ja Wilson, and she has said something about her that it is hard to imagine her ever saying about Caitlin Clark.

Reese is enjoying her first-ever season in the WNBA as a Chicago Sky player having excelled for the LSU Tigers in the NCAA Championship.

She is now mixing it some big names who have been ruling the WNBA for a long time, and Wilson is one of them.

In the comments section of a recent Instagram post from Wilson, Reese labelled her opponent as the GOAT.

One of the photos in the post showed her and Reese during their June 27 battle, which saw the Aces take the 95-83 win.

“omgg i made the goats dumppp,” Reese wrote in excitement.

Praise for Reese from big names

Reese is getting plenty of plaudits herself at the moment.

The achievements of the “Chi-Barbie” have not gone unnoticed, and just this Sunday, she was awarded the BET Award for Sportswoman of the Year.

As expected, Shaquille O’Neal (“Uncle Shaq”) couldn’t resist taking to his social media to shout his protégé’s accomplishment from the rooftops.

Shaq is not one to keep his opinion to himself. However, Reese‘s recognition seems to have left him speechless, as he limited himself to posting a couple of screenshots on his Instagram Stories that the Chicago Sky forward had already posted, announcing the award.

The first one says, in colorful text boxes, “Angel Reese Wins: 2024 BET Award for Sportswoman of the Year.” It then lists this year’s nominees: Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka, A’Ja Wilson, Sha’Carri Richardson, Flau’Jae Johnson, Coco Gauff, and Juju Watkins.

The second is Reese’s post thanking the BET Awards for the distinction.
