In a now-viral video, Reese declared that if the Las Vegas Aces win the playoff finals, she’ll strip naked, hop on a motorcycle, and ride around the world to celebrate the victory. Yes, you read that right.
“I’ve been a Vegas fan for 15 years — if they win this thing, I’m going all out,” she said, laughing, as fans around her screamed in disbelief and excitement.
The reaction online has been instant. Fans are torn between cheering her on and wondering if she’ll actually follow through. Regardless, the moment has added even more hype to an already heated WNBA Finals.
Reese, known for her charisma and fearless energy both on and off the court, has never hidden her loyalty to the Aces. Her unexpected announcement just further proves she’s one of the most unpredictable (and entertaining) personalities in the game today.
Whether she was joking or dead serious, one thing’s clear: Reese knows how to keep the spotlight on her.
