"When did i say this?" - Angel Reese baffled over wild rumor linking her to claim that Britney Griner could outplay prime Allen Iverson

A post from "TG Casino" on X claimed that Angel Reese suggested a prime Britney Griner would beat a prime Allen Iverson. The claim sparked reactions online, with fans debating the hypothetical matchup.

Griner and Iverson are different kinds of players. The current Atlanta Dream star thrives in the paint, using her 6-foot-9 to dominate inside.

Iverson, on the other hand, is a flashy guard who relies on his quickness and ball handling. He's a Hall of Fame guard who is known for his influence on how modern guards play basketball.

A matchup between the two would be interesting to see. However, there is no basis that Reese was the one who brought up the idea of them playing against each other. On X, the Sky forward was baffled when she found out about her rumored "hot take."

"When did i say this?? 🤣🤣yall really make up something new everyday lmaooo," Reese posted.

The TG Casino piece lacked sufficient evidence to support its claim that Angel Reese was the source of the controversial basketball opinion. The good thing is, Reese played it cool and didn't react negatively to it.
