Everyone Was Saying The Same Thing After Seeing Angel Reese’s Voting Totals For The WNBA All-Star Game

Angel Reese’s All-Star Voting Total Stuns Fans

Nobody saw this coming, well, maybe some did, but not like this. Angel Reese didn’t just rack up All-Star votes, she actually moved far ahead of what fans expected and landed in the elite group.

Over half a million fans threw their support behind the Chicago Sky rookie, giving her one of the highest vote totals in the league. That number? A staggering 506,741.

To put it bluntly, only nine players cracked the 500K mark. That’s a club most players only dream about. Reese is not just in the conversation anymore; she has become the conversation. While Caitlin Clark and her jaw-dropping 1.29 million votes led the pack by a mile, Reese made her own space.

Sure, Clark nearly tripled her number, but Reese’s count still turned heads.

Angel Reese’s Ranking Created Fan Outrage

Despite the fan love, Reese hit a wall with WNBA media and her fellow players. Both ranked her 12th among frontcourt players. That was a big drop from her fan vote ranking, where she landed fifth behind Napheesa Collier, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Aliyah Boston. The numbers didn’t lie. Her weighted score? 7.75, the same as Kiki Iriafen, which kept Reese out of a starting slot.

Fans online were not having it.

“Angel Reese fans should be more than a little upset- after all the glazing, both the Media and Player votes ranked her 12th,” one user wrote on X. “Given how she’s playing right now, she’s in the top 5 of bigs- I’d put her at 4 behind Boston, Collier, and Wilson. And I’m a staunch critic.”

Another user questioned the entire voting process. “Kiki above Angel Reese & Aliyah Boston is Delusional Work.”

One more had a harsher take: “Angel Reese will never be MVP of the WNBA, neither will Caitlin Clark. Not that she won’t deserve it, but they just won’t give her the votes. Even if it’s obvious she should be MVP. Angel has started playing better, I will give her that.”

Still, Reese is a near-lock to make the All-Star team as a reserve. And with her numbers rising and her energy unmatched, it’s clear the fans haven’t lost their faith. Whether her peers catch up? That’s another story.
