Angel Reese is tired of being the butt of everybody’s jokes.

This time, she found herself as a topic of conversation during an entirely different sport.

Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster John Kruk took a shot at the Chicago Sky star during the team’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

The Phillies were leading 6-0 in the top of the sixth inning when NBC Sports Philadelphia play-by-play man Tom McCarthy sent a happy birthday wish to his friend’s wife. Amid his praise, he called his friend a “heck of a basketball player.”

“It’s all because I missed a lot of shots, and he cleaned them up,” McCarthy joked on the broadcast.

Kruk couldn’t help himself, so he replied, “There’s someone here in Chicago that does that a lot,” appearing to reference Reese.

McCarthy acknowledged that she “gets her points,” while Kruk fired back, “She gets her rebounds too.”

“We’ll be getting some tweets about that, I’m sure,” Kruk added.

He would be correct as Angel Reese fired off a post on X about an hour after Kruk’s comments went viral.

“Clout is one helluva DRUG. Like it really gets to a point,” she wrote.

Reese was not done as she would head over to TikTok with another message: “To anybody that’s been mean to me, and you’re having a hard time in life, good.”
