Angel Reese has been the talk of a lot of headlines, but the next one might even shock her.

Conspiracy theories on social media can range from something you might believe to something that is downright unbelievable, and yet many people find themselves convinced by them.

When conspiracy theories involve sports, it’s usually fans thinking a league is purposely trying to get one team to win for a variety of reasons. The Chiefs have been part of many of those, especially since Taylor Swift began dating Travis Kelce.

One of the more notable once is that Swift and Kelce were fake dating for PR, something Kansas City Chiefs owner and CEO Clark Hunt shut down when he said, “You know, when they were just starting off dating, there were a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, it’s a marketing stunt,’ but no, it’s very real … and the most important thing is we’re happy for the two of them.”

And then there’s Aaron Rodgers, who has spouted off many of his own, most notable of which is claiming the set of Ellen DeGeneres’ old show looked like a spot on Epstein Island.

Now, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is going viral over an unhinged claim about her and Gianna Bryant.

Conspiracy Theorist Explains His Connection to Angel Reese And Gianna Bryant

On January 26, 2020, the world came to a stop when news broke of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, along with seven others, tragically losing their life in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.

More than five years later, we now have a man on social media claiming that Gianna Bryant did not actually die, and that she and Angel Reese are the same person.

“Fittest Flat Earther” on YouTube notes that the angel wings surrounding Gianna in many of her pictures are one connection, as well as a moment when Reese held the Larry O’Brien trophy and stated that it reminded her of Kobe.

He also introduced Shaq into the theory, highlighting their close connection and noting that the former Lakers great is a Freemason. If that wasn’t enough evidence, Flat Earther produced side-by-side pictures of Gianna and Angel Reese to show that they have the same eyebrows, game face, faces lining up symmetrically, similar markings on their faces, and so much more.

Gianna Bryant was 13 when she passed away and would be 19 years old in 2025. Angel Reese is 23 right now. Unfortunately for him, Reese was a high school senior at the same time Gianna had died, so they couldn’t possibly be the same person.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
