Kevin Durant and Angel Reese are now back in the headlines. He has sparked dating rumors after he gave her a shoutout during a pregame Q&A.
As per TMZ the NBA is honoring women all month in honor of Women’s History Month. The Phoenix Suns specifically asked each of their players who their favorite female athlete of all time as they walked into the stadium. As expected Serena Williams was one of the most popular responses but when Kevin Durant was asked he simply responded “Angel Reese.”
His choice for female GOAT athlete is rather interesting as the two have been romantically linked in the past. Last summer they were seated together at a Team USA women’s basketball exhibition game which led to speculation that they most likely romantically involved. Angel Reese soon put a stop to the hearsay on her Unapologetically Angel podcast and formally denied that she was dating Kevin Durant.
Nevertheless Kevin’s answer has already went viral prompting folks online to speculate on the real reason for KD shouting out Angel. “KD knew what he was doing,” one user wrote on Instagram. Another fan added “We know what KD on.” Another individual joked “KD shootin his shot and Angel gonna grab that board and put it back up… Then grab that board and put it back up… then grab that board and kick it out.”
