In the world of the WNBA, very few names make it to the mainstream public. One of those names is Angel Reese aka “Bayou Barbie”. Just at the age of 21, she has won a lot of accolades and broken records. She has even represented her nation at the U-17 World Cup. She has a name, image, and likeness (NIL) valuation of $1.6 million, which is the 6th highest among all amateur athletes. But recently she made headlines for her comments on social media.
Reese recently commented on a basketball clip of an LSU freshman and challenged her. The player responds to Reese and has an even better counter to her challenge.

Angel Reese has made an unforgettable impression on the world of basketball. However, her rise from an undergraduate star to an international phenomenon is a tribute to her outstanding abilities and relentless drive. Reese dominated in scoring and rebounding, leading LSU to their first National Championship. She was only the fourth player in SEC history to lead the conference in both scoring and rebounding, and she established an NCAA record with 34 double-doubles in a single season.
Reese continued her dominance in the NCAA Tournament, breaking records and making history. She became the first SEC player in NCAA Tournament history to have 30 points and 15 rebounds. Reese led LSU to the National Championship game with an average of 21.3 points and 15.2 rebounds during March Madness. Reese’s impact extended beyond college, as she played for Team USA, securing the Silver Medal at the 2023 FIBA AmeriCup. She averaged 8.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, recording three double-doubles and setting a Team USA AmeriCup record with 78 rebounds.
Reese recently made headlines for challenging an upcoming LSU player called Mikaylah Williams. After Williams’s match clip gained some traction by the audience, Reese commented on it and said, “I like i like @mkwill12_ but meet me at the rim in practice and you KNOW. YOU A PROBLEM THO!”?

To that Williams responded saying, “I appreciate the love, but I will respectfully dunk on you.” This started back and forth between the two stars, with Reese just giving a one-word reply, “BYE.” To which Williams said, “And then come down and do ya dance.”
And now as the new season starts, Reese returned to LSU for the first day of practice.
