Angel Reese Gets Trolled With a Pacifier at the WNBA Parade

Wednesday marked the Golden State Valkyries' WNBA championship parade.
Most people were celebrating the win from the top of the floats.
One person decided to take the opportunity to troll Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese.
Video shows former Golden State Warriors center and 2015 NBA champion Festus Ezeli holding up a t-shirt.
The shirt depicts Reese doing the "too small" gesture in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.
But instead of Reese's face, her face is replaced by the iconic Crying Jordan meme.
The video has received hundreds of thousands of views on X thanks to aggregator accounts.
It has received many more on TikTok, where it was originally posted.
Some fans on X have started begging to know where they can get the same shirt.
Reese was public enemy number one for Valkyries fans during the WNBA Finals.
She was also public enemy number one for a good number of other sports fans.

There was good reason for that.
She averaged 14.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and three assists per game across the seven-game series.
In Game 3, Reese directed the taunt toward the Valkyries' bench.
She specifically targeted Golden State center Aminata Gueye.
She also seemingly called Gueye a "bum" after the 97-71 blowout win.
That win gave Atlanta a 2-1 series lead.
Ten days later, the Valkyries won the championship on their home floor at the Chase Center.
The Valkyries defeated the Dream in seven games.
Valkyries superstar Gabby Williams played hero during the series.
She averaged just under 20 points per game.
That accounted for a whopping 29-percent of all points scored by the Valkyries during the Finals.

Williams' 30-point performance in Game 7 put the finishing touches on Golden State's first WNBA title.
Williams also averaged 19 points per game on 32 percent shooting in the series.
Reese, who came to Atlanta through a blockbuster trade from Chicago, put it all on the line for the Dream.
She averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds on 40 percent from the field and 37 percent from 3 throughout the Finals.
She also led the Dream in rebounding and was third in scoring.
The Valkyries' WNBA title in their second season is the fastest expansion-team title in league history.
That beats the Storm's fifth-year championship turnaround in 2004.
Ezeli isn't the only NBA player who made their voice heard toward the WNBA All-Star.
Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg clapped back at Reese right after Game 7 in Chase Center.
He did a similar gesture.
Ezeli spent four seasons with the Warriors and won a championship in 2015.

He still kept his ties to the Bay Area strong after his playing career.
He got into broadcasting as an NBC Sports Bay Area analyst.
He has also been seen on occasion speaking with Valkyries guard Kate Martin.
Reese is moving on.
Having endured the slings and arrows of her many critics, Reese has pledged to use the upcoming offseason to focus on herself.
She has pledged to put her podcast on hold.
She has pledged to restrict her social media videos to vlogs.
She will focus on training for the 2027 season.
After ending 2026 with All-WNBA, All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year honors, 2027 looks pretty bright for her and the Dream.
Will she have Atlanta back in the Finals next year?
There is nothing that can truly take the sting off a loss on the biggest stage.

While the W celebrated the Golden State Valkyries for becoming among the fastest expansion teams to take home a championship in North American sports history, it is impossible not to think of the Dream.
The Dream battled to the bitter end.
Luckily, the Dream are positioned well to keep their core roster intact for a few years.
They are positioned to compete into the end of the decade.
As the WNBA intelligentsia begins to turn over title odds for 2027, the Reebok Angel Reese 1 "Draft Night" is looking back to where ATL Barbie's journey began.
Reese stepped into the league with a ton of notoriety from her career down in the Bayou.
As she began her pro career, she entered the evening in a sparkly hooded gown.
That was an early indication of the fashion tendencies she would further expand with a Vogue cover and Victoria's Secret runway walk.
This "Draft Night" version of her Angel Reese 1 nods to that moment.
Similar charcoal grey bridges the synthetic side cage, midsole, and rubber anchors in the spaces between.
Snowy white takes over the spaces between for a profile that is equally wearable and refined.
The Reebok Angel Reese 1 "Draft Night" is confirmed for a release on November 12th via Reebok.com and partnering retailers.
It clocks in at $130.
Sending shots at the "Atlanta Barbie" was the icing on the cake on a historic WNBA season.
