Angel Reese<\/a> appears to be embracing the villain role in the WNBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the Atlanta Dream<\/a> and Dallas Wings<\/a> squared off Tuesday night, Reese hit the “too small” celebration<\/a> after grabbing an offensive rebound and scoring over Odyssey Sims<\/a>. It didn’t take long for the fans in Dallas to let the former No. 7 pick how they feel about her.<\/p>\n

As Reese was getting back on defense for Atlanta, she was legitimately showered with boos. She tried to rile up the crowd even more by waving them on. It was a pretty hilarious moment from the LSU product.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, WNBA fans had a lot to say about Reese’s celebration.<\/p>\n

“Why does she act like finally making a basket is something to brag about, embarrassing,” one fan said.<\/p>\n

“She hit 4 celebrations after one bucket where literally no one boxed out over a 5\u20193 player in a game she had 10 points,” a second fan wrote.<\/p>\n

“I love Angel Reese, I don’t care what anyone says,” another fan commented.<\/p>\n

“Respect to Angel for embracing it but woof. This is villain origin story WWE edition,” a social media user added.<\/p>\n

Angel Reese is off to a nice start.<\/p>\n

The Dream traded two first-round picks to the Chicago Sky in exchange for Reese. So far, we’d say they’re pleased the return on their investment.<\/p>\n

On May 9, Reese had 11 points, 14 rebounds and the game-winning block in her debut for Atlanta. She followed up that performance with 12 points and 16 rebounds in a win over the Wings.<\/p>\n

The Dream will take on the Las Vegas Aces<\/a> in their home opener this Sunday. We’ll see if they keep their perfect start to the season alive.<\/p>\n
