Angel Reese has become one of the faces of the WNBA after a huge rookie season, and has not been shy when it comes to discussing the state of the league. After Rose BC, her team won the inaugural Unrivaled tournament, Reese took the opportunity to take a shot at the WNBA's salary structure.

After Rose won the final, Reese posted on X, writing, "50K NEED DATTTTT." Another WNBA player, Sydney Colson, commented on Reese's post saying, "Hey angel girl, just wanted to check in and see how ur doing and just let u know I’m here for u if u need anything… esp if u need to get rid of 50k by tomorrow or anything like that…" And Reese responded by taking a shot at her WNBA rookie deal.
