There are plenty of intriguing storylines heading into the 2025 WNBA season. It will be the first time a subsection of players will come out of the offseason having played competitive basketball, as the Unrivaled Basketball League has done what it was intended to do. One specific player from that league who will have a lot of eyes on her in 2025 is Angel Reese.

The Chicago Sky All-Star is a bit of a polarizing player and personality. On the court, her tenacious playstyle has led to some criticism, as has her offensive repertoire. Off the court, her brash attitude rubs some people the wrong way. But Reese continues to have a lot of fans, especially on social media, where she reigns supreme across various platforms.

The Unrivaled social media account felt it apt to dub Reese the “TikTok Barbie”. Reese’s new nickname is a play on her “Bayou Barbie” moniker that came to fruition during her college basketball days at LSU.

“Barbie” appears to always be a part of her nicknames, as the other two that have been given to her are “Chi Barbie” and “Rebounding Barbie”. It’s only a matter of time before she does something noteworthy to get a new one.
