"You wanna get fined too?" - WNBA fans light up as Angel Reese grades Napheesa Collier’s dig at Cathy Engelbert a perfect ‘10/10’

WNBA star Napheesa Collier shocked the WNBA world with her exit interview, and Angel Reese stood with her in full support. After the Minnesota Lynx's season wrapped up with a Game 4 loss, Collier arrived on the podium for the interview. However, before any questions were asked, she read her statement.

Collier spoke in support of players and highlighted how the league had not taken honest responsibility for changing things for the players. Collier also shocked the crowd, revealing her face-to-face conversation with players regarding players being underpaid.

Angel Reese vowed her support for the WNBPA Vice President, giving her full grade for the bold move.

"10/10. No notes!" she wrote in her X post on Tuesday.

Reacting to Reese's post, one of the fans GOATed the Chicago Sky star for using her platform positively.

"I love how you use your platform always angel 🐐💕."

Napheesa Collier reveals Cathy Engelbert's shocking reply to big Angel Reese Caitlin Clark question

The arrival of players like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark revolutionized the WNBA. While the greatness of the veteran players like Napheesa Collier and A'ja Wilson was never questioned, the young stars brought fans and, consequently, the much-needed attention with them.

During her exit interview, Collier revealed that she inquired with Cathy Engelbert about her appropriate plan to address the small salary for players like Reese, Clark and Paige Bueckers who brought high revenue in the league.

"Caitlin should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court because without the platform the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't have make anything," Engelbert said, according to Collier's statement on Tuesday.

Players like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese make most of their career earnings through collaborations and advertisements. In 2025, Reese made only $74,909 from her WNBA salary, which was far less than the money she made outside the basketball court.
