Angel Reese took center stage this week after her team, Rose BC, won the Unrivaled league championship. The celebrated victory netted all the players, including Reese, a lucrative $50,000 bonus.

Although Reese didn’t participate in the playoffs due to a hand/wrist injury, her status as the Unrivaled Defensive Player of the Year makes her well deserving of the reward.

However, Reese quickly turned the tables with a clever rebuttal, reminding Colson that as a rookie, her contract was barely more than the bonus money she won. Specifically, she emphasized that the $50,000 was more than half of her entire salary, making it clear that she had to be prudent with her newfound wealth.

Reese’s response cleverly took a dig at the financial realities that many rookie players face in the WNBA. Though she has long been vocal about the pay gap between NBA and WNBA. And her recent tweet only adds to her frustration with financial disparity.

The victory came in a hard way as their key player, Reese, was missing from the roster due to a hand injury. Brittney Sykes came up big in the title game, scoring 21 points and showing incredible leadership.

Despite not being able to play, Reese smiled as she cheered on her teammates from afar, celebrating their well-deserved victory.

Reese couldn’t contain her excitement and took to social media to share her thoughts and dropped a cheeky tweet.

“WHAT YALL GON SAY NOW??” Reese wrote.

However, the Chicago Sky quickly chimed in with an encouraging message of their own.

“Year 2 loading…” the team’s official handle wrote.

As Reese looks ahead to the WNBA season kicking off in May, fans can’t wait to see how she’ll bring the confidence. And afterall winning the 3×3 league would be a much needed boost for the young rookie.
