Angel Reese is once again at the center of controversy, and this time, fans aren’t holding back. The Chicago Sky star’s intense battle with Napheesa Collier in the Unrivaled 3×3 basketball league has sparked a fiery debate, with some fans blasting Reese for what they call “dirty play.”
The matchup between Reese’s Rose Basketball Club and Collier’s Lunar Owls quickly turned physical, overshadowing the actual outcome of the game-a 66-56 win for the Owls. Throughout the contest, the two stars clashed repeatedly, exchanging jabs, bumps, and heated words.
But the most controversial moment came when Reese collided with Collier, sending the Unrivaled co-founder to the ground. Collier, never one to back down, attempted to retaliate with a push from behind but missed. The sequence of events had social media buzzing, with some fans outright condemning Reese’s aggressive style.
Fans didn’t hold back in criticizing Reese
One particularly harsh critic took aim at her partnership with Reebok, saying, “She’s always been a dirty player yet @Reebok still chose to hitch their wagon to her nasty ghetto ass.” Others labeled her a “bully” on the court, reigniting discussions about her polarizing presence in the game.
Despite the backlash, Reese’s performance was nothing short of dominant. She recorded a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Collier finished with 16 points and nine boards.
Hull also received some boos
But the biggest twist? the Chicago Sky forward had an unexpected supporter in the stands-Caitlin Clark’s teammate, Lexie Hull. Fans couldn’t help but notice Hull clapping after Collier hit the floor, with one fan reacting, “Lexi don’t stand up and celebrate that…”
Love her or hate her, Angel Reese continues to be one of the most talked-about players in women’s basketball. Whether she’s called “dirty” or simply an ultra-competitive force, one thing is clear-she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
