Angel Reese GOES NUTS After CAUGHT LYING About Jersey Selling-Out! Welcome to WNBA Reports, your go-to source for all things WNBA!
When news broke that Angel Reese’s Unrivaled league jersey “sold out in just two minutes,” the internet exploded. Some fans were impressed by the star power, but for many, the story didn’t add up. Social media was flooded with skepticism:
“You know what, this sounds like a bunch of BS, bro. How do Angel Reese jerseys sell out in two minutes? She’s popping, but not like that!”
The Sellout Heard ‘Round the Web
Unrivaled, the new women’s basketball league, just dropped its first official merchandise. Angel Reese, one of the league’s biggest names, was naturally at the center of attention. But when reports hit that her jersey was gone in two minutes flat, fans and critics alike started raising eyebrows.
Some were genuinely excited, but many questioned the authenticity. Was there really THAT much demand? Or was something fishy going on?
Here’s where it gets weird:
The jerseys went live at 10:04 p.m.
By 10:08 p.m., news articles were already published announcing the sellout.
Social media posts and graphics were ready to go, as if the whole thing had been staged.
Fans pointed out that even for a star like Angel Reese, this kind of instant sellout is unusual. Not even her Chicago Sky jersey moved that fast. And it wasn’t just Reese—other players’ jerseys, including Natasha Cloud and Kayla McBride, also “sold out” at the exact same time.
The Numbers Don’t Add Up
When a hot product drops—say, a new iPhone or a rare pair of sneakers—the most popular models go first, while others linger. But with Unrivaled, every jersey was gone in minutes, even for players without huge followings. That’s not how real demand works.
Fans who tried to buy Reese’s jersey were left empty-handed, some even posting,
“I was ready to buy the moment they dropped and it was already sold out.”
“Please restock Angel’s jersey, I didn’t even get a chance to buy one.”
So, how many jerseys were actually available? Some speculate that only 50 or 100 per player were made—creating artificial scarcity and a headline-grabbing “sellout.”
Marketing Trick or Real Demand?
Brands use these tactics all the time: make a tiny batch, sell out fast, and create buzz. But there’s a difference between genuine demand and manufactured hype. The lack of fan photos, unboxing videos, or people showing off their new jerseys online only fueled suspicions.
When real fans get merch, they post about it everywhere. But with Angel Reese’s jersey, there’s been radio silence—no photos, no celebrations, just frustration.
Unrivaled’s Struggles
It’s not just the jerseys. Reports say Unrivaled has struggled with viewership, and some players haven’t even received promised bonuses. Yet suddenly, the league claims record-breaking merch sales. If they can’t pay players, how are they handling a massive merchandise operation?
Angel Reese is a star. Her jersey would have sold out eventually, just like her Chicago Sky gear did. But this “sold out in 2 minutes” headline feels like a PR stunt, not a sign of overwhelming demand.
The real losers are the fans—excited and ready to support, but left disappointed by a carefully staged rollout. Instead of proof of massive popularity, all we have are suspiciously timed press releases and a lack of real fan engagement.
Real hype doesn’t need to be faked. It spreads naturally, and you see it everywhere. Here, all we’ve got is a marketing trick and a lot of frustrated supporters.
So, did Angel Reese’s jersey really sell out in two minutes? Or was it all just smoke and mirrors to make Unrivaled look bigger than it is? The silence from real fans—and the lack of jerseys in the wild—speaks volumes.
Angel Reese Facing Backlash After Caitlin Clark Message Circulates
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese received one vote for 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. Averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds, the No. 7 overall pick put together a strong first professional campaign.
Reese finished a distant second in Rookie of the Year voting to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, who received 66 of the 67 possible votes. The No. 1 overall pick averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists en route to Indiana’s first playoff appearance since 2016.
While Clark and Reese play different positions and have very different games, they have been linked since the 2023 NCAA National Championship Game.

As LSU was completing its victory over Iowa, Reese taunted Clark with the “you can’t see me” gesture. The moment ignited weeks of national coverage. Now, another viral moment from that day has been recirculating on social media.
In response to a post that claimed Reese has never said anything negative about another player, one fan on X posted an Instagram live clip from after the 2023 National Championship Game.
“Caitlin Clark, I’m not the one to disrespect,” Reese said in the clip. “I disrespect around here. I’m talking.”
This clip is circulating on X with over 140,000 views, and it has Reese again facing backlash for the comments she made more than two years ago.
“I let it rock at the time cause they won but she was so corny for this,” said one fan.
“The crazy part is she inserted herself into someone else business then tried to backtrack,” a fan added.
“lol ‘didn’t do this…’ like caitlin didn’t drop 30,” said another. “not her fault she wasn’t on a stacked team like angel to carry her to a title.”
“i was fine with her did it in court when they still playing but did it on ig livestream unprovoked??? she just hate cc and cc didn’t even do that ‘you can’t see me’ hand sign to her in the first place,” a fan pointed out.
“It’s always on social media for her,” one added.
