Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was in action for the Sky against the LA Sparks on Sunday. A moment occurred during the third quarter when the former LSU star attempted an And-1 play and was sent crashing to the floor.

Her fiery reaction to the courtside camera triggered a frenzy on social media.

One fan on X jokingly called her out for trying to be the late Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant.

Other fans called her out for being dramatic:

Love a dramatic look into the camera.

Others were more blunt. They criticized her skill level:

She released that layup from below her hips.

One of the most uncoordinated players in league history.

Before this game, Reese averaged 11.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game. She shoots 39.1%, including 30.8% from the 3-point line.
