After Angel Reese said she "wanted to come to Atlanta," OutKick asked what role she played in leaving Chicago. Reese said the Sky were already trading her, but acknowledged helping choose Atlanta as her destination.

A social media influencer took his best shot at garnering Angel Reese’s attention during the WNBA Finals – and it nearly worked.

Tiki, a content creator with more than 479,000 followers on TikTok alone, wore a tuxedo and brought a sign with him to Game 3 between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. As Reese was at the foul line, he yelled, "Angel, I love you."

Tiki’s sign read, "Angel will you marry me?"

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, which is a completely true statement. But when shooting your shot at the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and an athlete who is averaging nearly a block per game, it has to be the right shot.

Unfortunately, for Tiki, he was blocked.

Reese commented on Tiki’s video, saying, "Not in this lifetime, but I have some fine friendsssss."

Tough look.

The Dream were in the midst of a competitive series, having stolen one game on the road against the Valkyries. The two teams fought hard in Games 3 and 4. Golden State defeated Atlanta on Saturday 67-62 to even the series at two games apiece.

Reese played well in the first two games, even scoring 30 points and grabbing 16 boards in a Game 2 win. However, in Game 4, Reese was 2-of-12 from the field and finished with only eight points and nine rebounds.
