Remember the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship when the LSU Tigers went head-to-head with Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes? While LSU’s 102-85 victory was impressive, the game wasn’t just about the final score. It was all about the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.

The game marked a turning point, especially when Reese made a statement that would go down in history. Right in front of Clark, she pointed to her finger, signaling where her championship ring would soon be placed. That moment really set the stage for the ongoing clash between the two basketball stars. But have you ever wondered where all that trash-talking comes from? It’s something she learned from Julian Reese.

In a lighthearted moment, Angel’s younger brother, took to social media to reveal a fun tidbit. When asked, “Who’s the better trash talker?” Julian couldn’t help but laugh and admit, “I think her now.” He then recalled how, back in the day, he used to be the one who talked more trash.

When asked if he taught Angel how to trash talk, Julian humbly replied, “I would say I influenced her.
