Angel Reese Reveals Surprising Thing She Overheard From Fans Behind Her

Angel Reese went to an NBA game to back her brother Julian and couldn’t believe what the fans behind her were saying.

Atlanta Dream's Angel Reese recently attended a New Orleans Pelicans game during her offseason, marking a dual visit as the newcomer WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and a family outing, given that her brother Julian Reese plays for the Pelicans. The outing yielded a video of Reese's reaction which has since gone viral on social media.

Reese expressed her astonishment and surprise at the fans seated behind her. She recounted overhearing the crowd's loud and often unfiltered commentary on the players. Reese questioned whether such remarks should be included in the broadcast, remarking, "The way they're talking crazy about these players... Is this what happens during the games?"

The NBA crowd is known for its animated behavior, from regular-season games to the playoffs, with fans often cheering for their team and taunting opponents. Julian Reese, who played four minutes in the Pelicans' recent 142-111 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, did not receive much attention from the crowd. However, Reese's experience highlighted the intensity of fan reactions, particularly as the season progresses and the stakes increase.

The Dream are set to resume their 2027 season, and Reese has been busy documenting her experiences beyond the WNBA, including her brother's games.
