Angel Reese and a number of other WNBA stars have touched down in Miami for a new basketball adventure that has prompted lots of excitement among fans.
Reese and her WNBA peers are in the in the 305 to participate in a new 3-on-3 basketball league founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier called ‘Unrivaled,’ which is scheduled to tip off on January 17.
With the league’s debut fast approaching, players and coaches have assembled in Miami to prepare for the tournament.
The Unrivaled Instagram account posted a video of them arriving in the city to build some hype ahead of the action. But Reese hugging Teresa Weatherspoon from the back was one of the things that stuck out to fans.
Angel Reese & Teresa Weatherspoon Were Split Up After One Season Together
Weatherspoon was Reese’s head coach in Chicago for her rookie season but was fired after the team finished 13-27.
Reese, who is very close to Weatherspoon, was not happy with the decision and made it clear that she didn’t want to play for anyone else. So it’s no surprise that she was happy to see her old coach.
“Angel and Spoon 😍😢❤️,” someone wrote in the comments.
“The Angel and Tspoon clip! Whoever got that is just too good. Love this marketing and BTS! Looks amazing, love this for the ladies, they deserve it!” someone else added.
“Dang 🥹why is Angel and spoon the highlight of the clip 🔥🔥,” a fan chimed in.
The comment section was also filled with posts from fans claiming they can’t wait to see these players take to the court for the new upcoming tournament.
Unrivaled games will air on TNT on Monday and Friday nights, as well as on TruTV on Saturdays. They will also be streamed on Max.
Miami Heat Fans Are “Done” With Jimmy Butler As They Share Clear Message After Reimagining His Mural

Jimmy Butler is done with the Miami Heat even before getting the job done he was brought in for. The NBA superstar has called off ties with his current team and his decision is not sitting with the Miami fanbase.
The visibly enraged fans are taking to the streets in response to the sign-off. No, they are not parading in support of Jimmy and asking him to come back. Rather, they are setting a higher standard for subtle discontent. Miami fans have turned against All-Star Jimmy Butler, as evidenced by the recent defacement of his mural in Wynwood. CBS 4 in Miami reported that the artwork now bears a clearance sticker and the word “TRADE!” emblazoned on Butler’s Heat jersey.
The reaction came after Butler expressed his desire to be traded and talked about losing his “joy” for basketball. And that led the artist to make some bold changes to the mural. Now it features an image of Butler wearing a headband that says “I Quit.”
The misery came in hard for the Texas-born basketball star as the franchise suspended him for seven games, citing “conduct detrimental to the team.” This came to a head during the Heat’s tough loss to the Utah Jazz, where player Tyler Herro tried to downplay the internal turmoil as a reason for the defeat. His comments show that the team is trying to keep their spirits up and come together in the face of adversity.
