There’s currently a debate going on over whether Angel Reese is really as popular as she wants fans to believe. Well, turns out she might be.

Recent comments from the Chicago Sky rookie in which she suggested she’s one of the reasons women’s basketball is on the rise saw her receive lots of criticism.

“People are talking about women’s basketball that you’d never would think would be talking about women’s basketball. People are pulling up to games. We’ve got celebrities coming to games [and] sold-out arenas just because of one single game,” she said earlier this week.

“And just looking at that, I’ll take that role. I’ll take the bad guy role, and I’ll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates, and I know I’ll go down in history.

“I’ll look back in 20 years and be like: ‘Yeah, the reason why we’re watching women’s basketball is not just because of one person, it’s because of me too.’ And I want you to realize that. Like it’s just not cause of one person. A lot of us have done so much for this game.”
