LSU Tigers’ star Angel Reese is the latest hot topic in the basketball world and not just for winning the 2023 NCAA championship title. She gained a significant number of anti-fans when she taunted Iowa Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark during the tournament finals. Since then, Reese has been constantly criticized for her John Cena celebratory gesture. Amid the ongoing drama, the 20-year-old LSU forward was recently seen having a fun TikTok session with Memphis Grizzlies player Ja Morant.

While Reese continue to hold her ground against the naysayers, she got huge support from several influential personalities. Perhaps one of the most vocal supporters is Reese’s ‘uncle’ Shaquille O’Neal. The Los Angeles Lakers legend relentlessly fired back at two particular individuals for publicly expressing their displeasure towards her.

Angel Reese is basking in the glory of winning the first-ever championship trophy for LSU. Days after firing back at critics with her post-game statement, it seems like the LSU star is taking a break from the controversial matter at hand. Reese met with NBA star Ja Morant and the duo got busy creating a fun dance video.

In a video originally posted by Reese, she stood beside the Grizzlies star as the duo geared up to perform some kind of ‘hook-step’. Morant’s victory cry, ‘It’s a parade inside my city yeah’, played in the background as both Reese and the 2x All-Star attempted to groove along with it in a mismatched step.
