While Angel Reese is getting ready for the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League, she is also splashing the Gen-Z vibe at the practice facility. After hilariously calling Kahleah Cooper “grandma”, the Chicago Sky star is up with another shenanigan with Unrivaled players.
In a TikTok video reposted on X, Reese was seen going around the practice facility asking players to finish the lyrics of LiAngelo Ball’s latest song, “Tweaker.” While some players clearly synced with Reese’s vibe, some were too camera-shy to participate.
From Kahleah Cooper, Dearica Hamby, Rae Burrell and Alyssa Thomas to Courtney Williams, Azurá Stevens, Jackie Young and Brittney Sykes, Angel Reese posed the lyrics challenge for all.
Reese hilariously kept coming back to Dearica Hamby, because of how horribly the LA Sparks star had versed “woah.” When the camera switched to Kahleah Cooper, the Mercury star was lost. When a player in the background started singing, Cooper said she had “never heard that before.”
One player who was too adamant to sing along was Alyssa Thomas. Thomas did not even look into the camera and made it clear that Reese wasn’t going to get her to sing.
“You ain’t gonna get me to sing,” Thomas said.
Chelsea Gray had a hilarious reaction. She had no idea what Reese was talking about. A second later, she had already taken a dancing position, ready with her move. The video concluded with Reese showing her own moves. Angel Reese will team up with Sykes and Cooper, playing for the Rose club.

Stephen A. Smith weighs in on social media backlash against Angel Reese
Angel Reese deleted her Instagram account following the social media backlash against her revealing outfit on the New Year. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith had an interesting take on what Angel Reese was supposedly doing wrong.
Smith compared Reese’s choice of outfit to Caitlin Clark’s and how the Indiana Fever star had handled her brand. For Smith, dressing in the fashion that Reese did will eventually lead to her being objectified.
“What’s not debatable is how Caitlin Clark has handled her brand,” Smith said. “With Angel Reese, you sometimes find yourself scratching your head, wondering what the hell she’s doing, like that photo right there.”
“She’s a beautiful young lady, and there are a lot of beautiful young ladies in the WNBA, but you can’t come down the line and complain about being objectified later on. It’s not going to work with people. When you do stuff like that and draw attention to yourself, that can be problematic for you, especially when the comparison is going to be drawn to Caitlin Clark who isn’t doing such things.” [48:00]
