**Clout Chaser? Angel Reese Shamelessly Exploits NBA GOAT for Podcast Hype**
Angel Reese, the star of LSU women’s basketball, has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. But her latest stunt has some fans raising eyebrows. Reese recently teased an upcoming guest appearance by none other than the NBA GOAT on her podcast, “The Unc & Neece Show,” co-hosted with her cousin, retired NBA player and fan-favorite Joe Smith, better known as “Unc.”
The cryptic teaser, posted across Reese’s social media channels, featured nothing more than a vague silhouette and a set of trophies with the caption: “Big things coming… we’re just getting started.” Speculation exploded online, with rumors swirling that the guest in question is the one and only LeBron James, or perhaps Michael Jordan, two of the most iconic figures in basketball history.
However, the teaser has left many questioning Reese’s motives. Is this just another attempt to keep herself in the headlines? Critics have suggested that the 21-year-old phenom, already infamous for her bold persona on and off the court, might be leveraging the NBA legends for personal gain. After all, her recent moves seem to be part of a carefully crafted strategy to cement her brand beyond sports.
While Reese’s talents on the court are undeniable—leading LSU to their first national title in 2023—her off-court antics have drawn both admiration and controversy. From her unapologetic celebration during the NCAA championship to her outspoken presence on social media, Reese has made it clear she is not your average athlete. Some see her as a trailblazer for women’s sports, unapologetically confident and unbothered by the haters. But others accuse her of seeking attention at every turn.
Whether this podcast guest appearance will live up to the hype or end up as another example of overblown social media buzz remains to be seen. One thing is for sure: Angel Reese knows how to keep people talking—and that might just be her greatest skill yet.
