Reese, who has become a polarizing figure both for her unapologetic confidence and her standout performances with the Chicago Sky, posted a direct and emotional message on her X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram Stories:
âIf you believe in me, VOTE FOR ME. Iâll show them why I belong.â
The post came just hours after the WNBA announced its preliminary All-Star selections â a list that surprisingly excluded Reese, despite her averaging a double-double and being a top-5 rebounder in the league.
đŁïž A Bold Plea Meets a Divided Internet
While some fans rushed to support Reese and amplify her call for votes, others criticized the move as âdesperateâ and âattention-seeking,â questioning whether a public campaign for fan validation was appropriate.
âSheâs grinding every game. She deserves a shot,â one fan wrote on X.
âBegging for votes? Not very All-Star behavior,â a critic replied.
The internet quickly split into camps â those who believe Reese was unfairly overlooked due to bias, and those who argue her on-court performance hasnât yet earned her a spot among the leagueâs elite.
đ The Stats and the Spotlight
Angel Reese has undoubtedly made an impact in her rookie season, leading all first-year players in rebounds and double-doubles. Her physicality, hustle, and swagger have earned her both admiration and controversy â often drawing comparisons to her college rival, Caitlin Clark, who was named an All-Star starter.
