Angel Reese took her leadership skills to the Super Bowl Flag Football Game on February 8, proving that her competitive spirit isn’t limited to the basketball court by adopting a strict no-nonsense attitude to the $14 million YouTube star Kai Cenat.
As head coach of Team Kai, the 22-year-old WNBA ace made sure to hold every player accountable, shrugging off Cenat‘s hopes to control the game as team captain on the basis that leadership isn’t about status, it’s about performance.
One of the most talked-about moments of the game was the playful but firm clash between Reese and Cenat. The popular streamer wanted more playing time, but the Chicago Sky star held her ground, ensuring that only strong performances earned minutes on the field.
“We got players that don’t want to listen already. What y’all doing? My players are not listening, y’all,” Reese vented during the game, frustrated by the lack of focus.
Kai, eager to stay in lobbied for extra time, insisting, “I need as many minutes as I can get.”
However, Reese wasn’t having it as she coldly responded, “Okay, listen. I’m just being honest here. If you’re not playing well, I’m subbing you out.”
Cenat then began his protests but Reese finally ended the matter by concluding, “Yep! Do your job.”
Flag Football ends with nervous finish
Despite Reese‘s tough coaching and Cenat‘s determination, Team Kai fell just short, losing 30-29 to Team Speed, led by a rival popular YouTuber with the channel name, iShowSpeed and coached by former NFL safety Ryan Clark.
Team Speed had a stacked roster featuring ex-NFL MVP Cam Newton at quarterback, rapper Quavo, musicians Latto and Sexyy Red, viral star Khaby, and elite flag football quarterback Diana Flores.
Meanwhile, Team Kai, led by Michael Vick on offense, included Duke Dennis, Deestroying, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and Shedeur Sanders.
Held at the Super Bowl Experience in New Orleans, the game was a major lead-up to Super Bowl LIX.
While Team Speed took the win, Reese‘s leadership was undeniable. Her intense coaching style ensured that even a big-name influencer like Kai Cenat had to earn his minutes. In the end, the matchup wasn’t just about the scoreboard-it was about competition, accountability, and a whole lot of fun.
