WNBA fans had a day talking about Angel Reese and a college basketball player who many thought resembled the Chicago Sky star. The X/Twitter account of NCAA Buzzer Beaters & Game Winners shared a picture of Mame Kane, a freshman center for the Kennesaw State Owls.
On Thursday, the person behind the account noted that Kane had a "lazy eye," which sparked plenty of reactions.
"First D1 Athlete with a Lazy Eye I’ve seen," the account tweeted.
What followed was a group of fans comparing her to Reese, trolling the former LSU Tigers power forward.
"Kinda looks like Angel Reese, no? 🤣," one fan questioned.
"She look like angel reese clone," another fan said.
"Unironically looks like angel reese," another fan said.
Others continued attacking the WNBA rookie while urging the account to keep the post up regardless of all the fire they'd receive.
"She’s giving Angel Reese a run for her money!" one fan wrote.
"Guarantee you she’s less annoying than Angel as well," another fan said.
While some jumped on the train and started making fun of the woman, others defended her and asked the original poster to make better decisions in the future.
Angel Reese explained why she left LSU for WNBA
Reese surprised fans on Monday with another episode of her "Unapologetically Angel" show. The former No. 7 pick in the WNBA draft sat with her longtime manager, Jeanine Ogbonnaya, to talk about a variety of topics, including her exit from LSU.
The Sky star entered the draft instead of playing a fifth season in college (spending her first two years at Maryland), although many thought she would run it back after being eliminated by the Caitlin Clark-led Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight.
"Let's be realistic, I was tired of college," Reese, who won the 2023 NCAA title with LSU, said (Timestamp: 30:00). "Not going to lie, I was tired. I'm not saying I got bigger than the program, but I just outgrew it."
She also responded to people thinking she would have made more money playing another year in college.
"They’ve lost their minds. Don’t listen to these people when they say that,” Reese said.
“From the moment I started hearing that narrative, I was like, 'That's literally not true,'" Ogbonnaya replied. "At this point, you transcend sport, so it doesn't matter if you're in college."
She's now enjoying success off the court with plenty of deals but is also working to elevate her game next WNBA season.
