Angel Reese won the unmatched league inaugural championship on Monday evening, and with it came a bonus of $ 50,000.
Reese, who won the national college championship with LSU in 2023, was part of Rose BC, with Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Kahleah Cooper, Azura Stevens and Brittney Sykes.
Each player won the bonus, and he is sure to say that Reese was quite delighted.

“50K needs Dattttt,” she posted on X shortly after the victory.
This prompted Sydney Colson, who recently signed a one -year agreement with Caitlin Clark fever in Indiana, to make a joke on Reese giving him the money.
“Hey Angel Girl, I just wanted to register and see how you are going and just let yourself know that I’m here for you if you need something … SURT
But Reese refused it, and it seems that his original position was not really sarcasm.

“Hey sista. I’m fine. I just won 50k on a flight. I know that you are very aware and I’m sorry to break it but I’m on a recruit contract and that 50K was a little more than half of my contract, so I have to keep it for me…. Sorry: (give me a few years and I am very nickname.
Reese recently talked about WNBA contracts – she won just under $ 75,000 in her recruit season and will do less than this year to come.
“I live beyond my means. Haine pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know that the WNBA does not pay my bills at all,” she said in October. “I don’t even think it pays A of my invoices. Literally, I try to think of my rent for where I stay. Let me do the calculation very quickly. I don’t even know my salary (WNBA), $ 74,000? “”

Reese also declared earlier this month that she was ready to “stay at the negotiating table as long as it takes” to get more money from players.
Reese was appointed defensive player of the year during the inaugural season.
