Angel Reese is a name that needs little to no introduction to basketball fans around the world. After all, she led LSU to their maiden NCAA title earlier this year in March. Not only her brilliant plays on the court, but Reese made the headlines for a special gesture made towards her adversary, Caitlin Clark. The youngster made the popular John Cena–‘You Can’t See Me’ gesture, which sent the internet into a frenzy.
However, she has received a fair share of hatred because of that gesture as well. Days after the WWE superstar’s fans took Reese to court, she signed a deal with one of his former rivals.
