WNBA superstar Angel Reese is suddenly the focus of the basketball universe thanks to a Walt \u201cClyde\u201d Frazier comment during Knicks\/Magic Knicks vs. Magic.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not talking about basketball now,\u201d Knicks legendary Hall of Famer Walt \u201cClyde\u201d Frazier said during the broadcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re talking about somebody\u2019s life. Please explain, Clyde,\u201d responded Breen. Knicks play-by-play man Mike Breen began analyzing the foul and court drama with his co-commentator, but Frazier took a whole different route as he zeroed in on the socialite Reese and her presence:<\/p>\n But instead of breaking down the physical altercation, the coach opted to joke about Carter\u2019s off-court relationship with a Chicago Sky star.<\/p>\n \u201cI like his taste though, Mike. He\u2019s dating Angel Reese. Not too bad,\u201d Frazier smoothly said live on air. The random shout out of Reese sent social media into a trolling tizzy, as the clip instantly went viral as avid sports fans and pop culture followers retweeted the clip.<\/p>\n The moment also underscored how Reese is an increasingly influential crossover star, whose significant pop culture pull maintains her massive presence even during NBA broadcasts.<\/p>\n Reese has long been one of the most prominent and influential personalities in modern day women\u2019s sports, and her name constantly seems to be intertwined in conversations between the worlds of the sport and the mainstream media.<\/p>\n Neither Angel Reese nor Carter responded to questions on the viral broadcast moment, but the clip drew a divided audience on social media, with some fans applauding Frazier\u2019s old school, natural personality while other fans questioned why Reese needed to be brought into the game during a heated physical battle between two players.<\/p>\n But no matter the opinion, the incident stands as yet another confirmation of just how much star power Reese has, that her cultural presence continues to be a leading storyline in the basketball space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
