Angel Reese has become one of the handles of the WNBA players who will be on the cover of the NBA 2K26 video game when it was released later this month, sharing the honor with the star of Oklahoma City Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the former Great Carmelo Anthony, Great Carmelo Anthony.

The announcement came the same day that Reebok announced his signature shoe. The shoes are visible on the cover.
“Of course, we are doing very big. Why not make your debut my signature shoe on the cover of NBA2K?!?” She wrote on X.
However, WNBA fans were amazed that Reese was chosen against the star of the Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark, who obtained the most votes from the star stars this year. While Reese republished a message on X, saying “being an angel Reese Hater must suck lol”, there was a lot of criticism to make.
Reese and Clark will be forever attached together since the National Basketball Championship of the 2023 NCAA when Lsu beat Iowa and Reese struck the mockery “you can’t me” in Clark in the middle of the victory. The two entered the WNBA with Clark being the overall choice n ° 1 of the 2024 draft. They were part of the same team of stars last year.
