Flau'jae Johnson tried to show former LSU teammate Angel Reese a bit of appreciation.
But as Johnson's Seattle Storm handled Reese's Atlanta Dream, Reese wanted nothing to do with any kind of handshake or hug.
Reese was walking off the floor, right past Johnson, and totally shunned her:

To be fair to Reese, plenty of competitors would've reacted the same way.
But given the relationship here as former college teammates, it caught plenty of attention.
Johnson had already gotten the better of Reese on the court in the Storm's 105-90 win.
Flau'jae went for 24 points on a fantastic 9-for-12 shooting, including 2-for-3 from 3-point range. Johnson added 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Reese scored 17 points with nine rebounds and two steals for the Dream, shooting just 4-for-10 from the field but making up for it by going 9-for-11 from the foul line.
The Dream fell to 12-7 with the loss, while the Storm improved to 5-15.
It certainly wasn't a great day for Atlanta, which would've expected to beat Seattle.
But at least on Saturday, it was Johnson who got the better of Reese, and it was Reese who clearly wanted to move on.
