There are plenty of intriguing storylines heading into the 2025 WNBA season. This will be the first time a subseason of players will emerge from the offseason after playing competitive basketball, as the Unrivaled Basketball League has done what it was supposed to do. One specific player in this league who will have a lot of eyes in 2025 is Angel Reese.
The Chicago Sky star is a somewhat polarizing personality and player. On the court, her tenacious style of play has drawn some criticism, as has her offensive repertoire. Off the court, her brash attitude irks some. But Reese continues to have a strong fan base, especially on social media, where she reigns supreme across various platforms.

The social media account Unrivaled saw fit to dub Reese the “TikTok Barbie.” Reese’s new nickname is a play on her nickname “Bayou Barbie,” which she came up with back when she was playing basketball at the University of Louisville.
“Barbie” still seems to be one of her nicknames, as the other two she’s been given are “Chi Barbie” and “Rebounding Barbie.” It’s only a matter of time before she does something remarkable to earn a new one.
