There’s currently a debate going on over whether Angel Reese is really as popular as she wants fans to believe. Well, turns out she might be.

Recent comments from the Chicago Sky rookie in which she suggested she’s one of the reasons women’s basketball is on the rise saw her receive lots of criticism.

“People are talking about women’s basketball that you’d never would think would be talking about women’s basketball. People are pulling up to games. We’ve got celebrities coming to games [and] sold-out arenas just because of one single game,” she said earlier this week.

“And just looking at that, I’ll take that role. I’ll take the bad guy role, and I’ll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates, and I know I’ll go down in history.

“I’ll look back in 20 years and be like: ‘Yeah, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person, it’s because of me too.’ And I want you to realize that. Like it’s just not cause of one person. A lot of us have done so much for this game.”

WNBA champion Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller filed for divorce after one year of marriage. In April, the WNBA star and New York Giants tight end filed a joint petition for divorce in Clark County, Nevada.

Just after the filing, Plum shared a heartbreaking message on social media. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

“God has given me an incredible life, and I’m truly so grateful for the profound love from my family and friends,” the Las Vegas Aces star continued.

“One day, I’ll share my story; today is not that day. Thank you for the grace to process my pain, to forgive and move forward. Today and everyday I will continue to choose joy. Much love, KP.”

Waller, a former player for the Las Vegas Raiders, and Plum, a two-time WNBA champion with the Aces, started dating. It is said that they dated for almost a year prior to getting married on March 4, 2023.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal claims that on January 22, 2023, Plum and Waller submitted an application for a marriage license.

Waller was traded to the New York Giants shortly after their marriage. Many believed former head coach Josh McDaniels did this on purpose since he wasn’t invited to the wedding.
