In the clip, Reese and Carrington discuss the WNBA stereotypes and express their honest opinions on them.

"They complained and said WNBA players are too manly, not feminine enough. We don't dress cute enough. They don't wanna watch a bunch of little boys running around the court. Now we are too much. Now we are doing too much," Reese said.

The Chicago Sky star clapped back at the hypocritical nature of the critics and the stereotypes while Carrington sat beside her in agreement. The duo then started impersonating the critics in an old man's voice, dishing out the common stereotypical reasons given by people not wanting to watch the WNBA because of the players supposedly being too masculine.

Later on, Angel Reese also addressed the common assumption of WNBA players dating each other.

"They all like each other, they all date each other. That's not true!"

However, DiJonai Carrington cracked a joke, interrupting Reese to say she was dating a fellow WNBA player. The duo laughed out loud and the Wings guard cleared out that the stereotype doesn't apply to the entire league. Carrington is in a relationship with fellow Wings player NaLyssa Smith.

The Wings star recounted their Baylor days and talked about once standing up for NaLyssa Smith in front of the management when she got into trouble. The 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player coyly denied dating each other during college. Angel Reese then asked the Wings star if she had always liked girls and the response was surprising.

"No, I am not even like into girls," Carrington said. "I don't be like 'I'm gay, I'm gay.' I am not gay, I just like Lis [NaLyssa Smith]." (31:00)

Carrington also talked about guys messaging her and calling her relationship with Smith a "waste." The Wings star savagely remarked that even if she wasn't into Smith, she would not date any of them.
