That’s what a big night at Madison Square Garden feels like. It didn’t matter if it was the early going of the season, but the stage was set for Karl-Anthony Towns to make his big debut. And just like the perfect life partner, KAT’s girlfriend was there to show her support, which even wowed the WNBA star, Angel Reese.

Accompanied by the Knicks star’s old man, Jordyn Woods was a part of the thunderous MSG crown. So when she posted about her day in the legendary arena, it blew up, drawing the attention of Reese and many others.

Woods shared a series of pictures on Instagram flaunting her Knicks jacket, thigh-high slit denim skirt and dazzling Jimmy Choo Crystal Boots. Showering love on her post, Gabrielle Union, spouse of the former NBA star Dwyane Wade, wrote, “There she is” with two shiny red hearts. More support came from KAT’s new teammates’ wives Shannon Phillips, (spouse of Josh Hart) and Ali Brunson, who was blown away by Woods’ stunning outfit. Being a girl’s girl, Reese also joined them by dropping an adorable reaction in the comment section.

The Sky forward who has frequently made heads turn with her stylish attires couldn’t hold back from complimenting Woods for her incredible fashion on the game night. “COOKED” stated Reese coupled with a smiling emoji which has heart-shaped eyes. Despite her genuine affectionate behavior, Reese was dealing with something unsettling in her life.

Former NBA star makes Angel Reese uncomfortable in public

During Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, an unexpected incident occurred. Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA great whom she considered her mentor, made some unsettling remarks that ended up upsetting her again. While guiding her on how to gain more followers and viewership in the women’s league, the Big Diesel said, “Bro a pretty girl dunking on a rim, I’m watching that all the time.”

This made Reese laugh. The 22-year-old instantly let Shaq know that men don’t find a dunking woman that attractive. From discussing how the WNBA can gain more attention, Shaq suddenly said, “Imagine you on the same little shorts you had on at ‘Wild ‘N Out’ dunking. You know how many T-shirts you going to sell?”

Reese, who hadn’t seen that coming, looked uncomfortable with Shaq’s comment on her tiny shorts that she sported in the event. He further said that she was not only strikingly beautiful but also good-looking. “When you dress up and you like really dress up and you are a beautiful, phenomenal-looking Black woman,” Shaq added. He also advised her to focus on what men like, to which Reese said that she did not care about the opposite gender’s validation.

The show ended on a strange note leaving a sour taste in Reese’s mouth. Don’t know about the WNBA but this certainly gained a lot of attention on social media with fans backlashing the former Laker. Could this interaction break their otherwise strong bond ? Only time can answer this.
