Reese has the most followers on social media among WNBA players, but received fewer votes from fans than the other stars on the list.

Fans on social media were not surprised by the Chicago Sky star's snub.

"Angel Reese needs to recognize her lack of popularity," one fan wrote.

"Reese will never be voted as a starter . She chose to be a villain . People will not vote for her selfish ass," another commented.

However, a few fans stood behind Reese

"I’m just tired of this bullshit. These jokers are not better than Angel."

Could Angel Reese make the All-Star team in 2025?

Reese was not among the 10 players named as an All-Star starter. However, she still has a chance to earn a spot as a reserve. The list of reserves will be announced by the league on July 6.

The list of starters is as follows:

Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier, Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers, Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Nneka Ogwumike, Satou Sabally, Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson,

Clark has played fewer games than Reese this season. Despite that, the Fever guard got more votes than any other player in the league, a testament to her unparalleled popularity in the WNBA.

Reese earned an All-Star nod last season and would hope to make the cut yet again in her sophomore season.
