Angel Reese exposes the cheesiest messages she receives from admirers

If you want to impress Angel Reese in her DMs, you better bring something more than tired clichés.

The basketball star, recently named the Unmatched Defensive Player of the Year, revealed on her podcast Unapologetically Angel some of the cheesiest lines men have sent her on social media. And apparently, many rely on the same worn-out material.

“It’s always the same, comments about my height,” Reese admitted. “That whole ‘climbing the tree’ thing is so overdone. And don’t even get me started on ‘one-on-one for your heart’—those height-related jokes just don’t work.”

The cringiest DMs Angel Reese has received

During her conversation with rapper Lady London, both shared their experiences with uninspired direct messages.

Even Lady London, who isn’t a basketball player, has received sports-related pick-up lines.

“One time, someone sent me a basketball emoji with the message, ‘My ball just landed in your court,’” she recalled, laughing.

“CashApp” 🤣👏

What’s the key to grabbing their attention?

Despite the flood of unoriginal messages, Angel Reese and Lady London agreed that what really matters is intention and execution.

“Having good intentions means nothing if you don’t know how to follow through,” Lady London explained.

“A great message should show attention to detail, remembering something we mentioned in passing… Those little things make all the difference.”

And when it comes to dates, effort is essential. “Men will say, ‘I want to take you out,’ but have no idea where to go,” Lady London added.

“If you want to ask me out, have a plan, name a restaurant, make a reservation. Don’t expect me to do all the work.” The ultimate way to catch their attention

And if all else fails? Angel Reese and Lady London have a foolproof way to grab their interest—an unexpected gesture via Cash App. Because if words don’t work, maybe a financial gesture will!
