The NBA regular season is in its final phase, and teams are pushing for a better ranking for an easier postseason path. The Los Angeles Lakers vs the Orlando Magic game had a similar vibe with both sides losing some ground late in the season. The Kia Center was buzzing and had WNBA royalty, Angel Reese, in the house supporting her boyfriend and his team from the sidelines.
Recently, Reese spoke about her busy offseason, which included a number of Magic games she attended, and now she was looking to back the Eastern conference team as they dropped down to eighth position in the ranking.
While her presence is a ‘norm’ for Kia Center now, the player went viral following her action mimicking LeBron James, while the superstar was on the floor.

Angel Reese Copies LeBron James’ Iconic Pose
The Chi-Town Barbie was sitting in the front row and cheered for the Magic team. As the team took a substantial lead, the player looked to poke fun at LBJ, who struggled by his standards.
Sharing the video on TikTok, Reese mimicked James’ ‘that ain’t our ball’ pose, which went viral during the 2020 NBA game against the Portland Trail Blazers. In that game, the Lakers megastar was asking for the ball, and Reese looked to make fun of the current state, as the Lakers were struggling to keep possession.
