Nobody saw this coming, well, maybe some did, but not like this. Angel Reese didn’t just rack up All-Star votes, she actually moved far ahead of what fans expected and landed in the elite group.
Over half a million fans threw their support behind the Chicago Sky rookie, giving her one of the highest vote totals in the league. That number? A staggering 506,741.
To put it bluntly, only nine players cracked the 500K mark. That’s a club most players only dream about. Reese is not just in the conversation anymore; she has become the conversation. While Caitlin Clark and her jaw-dropping 1.29 million votes led the pack by a mile, Reese made her own space.
Sure, Clark nearly tripled her number, but Reese’s count still turned heads.
Angel Reese’s Ranking Created Fan Outrage

Despite the fan love, Reese hit a wall with WNBA media and her fellow players. Both ranked her 12th among frontcourt players. That was a big drop from her fan vote ranking, where she landed fifth behind Napheesa Collier, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Aliyah Boston. The numbers didn’t lie. Her weighted score? 7.75, the same as Kiki Iriafen, which kept Reese out of a starting slot.
Fans online were not having it.
“Angel Reese fans should be more than a little upset- after all the glazing, both the Media and Player votes ranked her 12th,” one user wrote on X. “Given how she’s playing right now, she’s in the top 5 of bigs- I’d put her at 4 behind Boston, Collier, and Wilson. And I’m a staunch critic.”
Another user questioned the entire voting process. “Kiki above Angel Reese & Aliyah Boston is Delusional Work.”
One more had a harsher take: “Angel Reese will never be MVP of the WNBA, neither will Caitlin Clark. Not that she won’t deserve it, but they just won’t give her the votes. Even if it’s obvious she should be MVP. Angel has started playing better, I will give her that.”
Still, Reese is a near-lock to make the All-Star team as a reserve. And with her numbers rising and her energy unmatched, it’s clear the fans haven’t lost their faith. Whether her peers catch up? That’s another story.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot

Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
