Angel Reese might not have a WNBA championship or a playoff experience in her pro career, but the star already has a stacked resume with a number of individual and team accolades. Despite this, she is already improving every season as Reese caps off a strong 2025, as a social media post reveals her growth.
While the player often credited her coaches for her game, on the recent episode of Unapologetic Angel. She revealed that she hated playing for LSU’s HC Kim Mulkey. But then a heartfelt confession follows that shocking truth.
Angel Reese Hated Playing for Kim Mulkey
The Chicago Sky forward reached the peak of her college career in 2023 with an NCAA Championship and a record 34 double-doubles in a season. While she was a key player on the roster, Coach Mulkey used to pinpoint her mistakes every now and then, which irked the Chi-Town Barbie.
“She used to get on me bad, and I used to hate it in the moment. I used to like why is she always on me like that?” she admitted. But it didn’t take her long to realize that Coach Mulkey was making her tough for what lay ahead.
The player also revealed a session where Mulkey took the court and showed the young players why she is such a respected coach with her gameplay. Reese called her greedy and tough on the court.
