Angel Reese is tired of being the butt of everybody’s jokes.

This time, she found herself as a topic of conversation during an entirely different sport.

Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster John Kruk took a shot at the Chicago Sky star during the team’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

The Phillies were leading 6-0 in the top of the sixth inning when NBC Sports Philadelphia play-by-play man Tom McCarthy sent a happy birthday wish to his friend’s wife. Amid his praise, he called his friend a “heck of a basketball player.”

“It’s all because I missed a lot of shots, and he cleaned them up,” McCarthy joked on the broadcast.

Kruk couldn’t help himself, so he replied, “There’s someone here in Chicago that does that a lot,” appearing to reference Reese.

McCarthy acknowledged that she “gets her points,” while Kruk fired back, “She gets her rebounds too.”

“We’ll be getting some tweets about that, I’m sure,” Kruk added.

He would be correct as Angel Reese fired off a post on X about an hour after Kruk’s comments went viral.

“Clout is one helluva DRUG. Like it really gets to a point,” she wrote.

Reese was not done as she would head over to TikTok with another message: “To anybody that’s been mean to me, and you’re having a hard time in life, good.”

Angel Reese Finally Returns To The Court

Angel Reese has returned to the Chicago Sky after a two-game absence due to a back injury.

Reese posted 22 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocked shots. The ex-LSU star was just 6-of-16 from the field, although she did make 10-of-11 free throws and led her team in scoring.

However, the Sky fell to the Washington Mystics.

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.
