Angel Reese is no stranger to the spotlight—but this time, it wasn’t for a highlight-reel dunk or dominant double-double. Instead, the Chicago Sky rookie went viral for something entirely different: a flop so exaggerated, so drawn-out, that fans are calling it the funniest WNBA moment of the year.

It all went down during the Sky’s game against the Dallas Wings. With the ball moving upcourt and tensions rising, Reese suddenly hit the floor in dramatic fashion—arms flailing, legs kicking, face twisting in agony. The only problem? There was zero contact. Not even a breeze.

The entire fall played out in hilarious slow motion—lasting a full 14 seconds from the start of the act to the moment she rolled over on the court like she’d just been hit by a truck. And naturally, the cameras caught it all. Within minutes, the clip exploded on Twitter (now X), with fans and celebrities alike reposting it with crying-laughing emojis, memes, and mock analysis.

One user tweeted, “She needs an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony for that performance.” Another joked, “The WNBA is not real. I’m crying.” Others called it “elite-level comedy” and demanded the league implement a “flop review” system.

Even sports analysts couldn’t resist. “You’ve got to love the entertainment value,” said one commentator. “That was one of the most unnecessarily dramatic falls I’ve ever seen—and somehow, I want to watch it again.”

To her credit, Reese appeared to take the moment in stride. After the game, she shared a cryptic tweet: “LOL y’all play too much.” It only added fuel to the online frenzy.

This isn’t the first time a pro athlete has gone viral for a theatrical flop, but Reese’s moment is being celebrated for its sheer commitment. In an era where every move is instantly clipped, posted, and replayed a million times, it’s safe to say she gave the internet exactly what it wanted.

Whether you think it was embarrassing or entertaining, one thing is clear: Angel Reese knows how to keep people watching. And in a league fighting for more exposure and attention, even a viral blooper can be a win.

So while the Chicago Sky may not have won the game, Angel Reese definitely won the internet.
