Angel Reese Savagely Trolled During Valkyries’ WNBA Championship Parade

While she wasn’t there physically, the Dream star played a huge role in the shade tossed out by the champs.

The Golden State Valkyries celebrated their first WNBA Championship victory with a parade on Wednesday, after defeating the Atlanta Dream in a hard-fought Game 7 final. Head coach Natalie Nakase led the team in expressing their excitement both on the road and during a speech, while players like Tiffany Hayes engaged with the crowd and even donned wigs for mini dance parties.

Amidst the jubilation, the Valkyries also targeted Atlanta Dream superstar Angel Reese. The team handed out pink pacifiers with a Michael Jordan crying photo over a picture of Reese's "too small" gesture, along with the message "If found, return to ATL." The gesture garnered significant attention on social media, with some praising the Valkyries for taking a jab at Reese, while others defended the talented player.

Despite Reese's impressive performance in the Finals, the trolling did not go unnoticed, sparking a debate about jealousy and insecurity within the WNBA community.
