BREAKING: Brittney Griner LOSES IT & DEMANDS to CONFISCATE the Award from Angel Reese!?

In a jaw-dropping twist that has ignited a firestorm across the WNBA and social media, Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner is making headlines once again — this time for publicly calling out Angel Reese and demanding that a recent league award be revoked.

The controversy erupted just hours after Angel Reese, rising star of the Chicago Sky, received the WNBA’s “Most Impactful Rookie Voice” Award — an honor created this year to recognize a young player who not only performs on the court but also amplifies their influence off of it.

But Griner? She wasn’t having it.

In a post-game interview Thursday night, Griner was asked about the award during a press scrum. Her response shocked everyone in the room.

“I’m just going to say it — that award should’ve gone to someone who’s lifting the league, not dividing it. If we’re being real, it should be taken back,” Griner said, visibly frustrated.

“You don’t earn that by stirring headlines and clashing with teammates and refs every other night.”

🔥 League in Shock — Players React

Griner’s comments sent shockwaves through the WNBA player community. Some veterans reportedly agree privately, while others are calling it “a step too far.” Angel Reese, never one to back down, responded cryptically on X (formerly Twitter):

“If I’m in your mouth, I must be doing something right. 🐍💋 #Unbothered”

That tweet alone racked up over 6 million views in just a few hours, setting off a storm of fan reactions under hashtags like #TeamReese, #GrinerVsReese, and #WNBAChaos.

🎤 A Brewing Rivalry?

This latest drama adds fuel to the growing tension between Griner and Reese, who represent two distinct eras of WNBA culture: Griner, the league veteran and vocal advocate for discipline, respect, and legacy — versus Reese, the unapologetic Gen Z icon who’s turned heads for her fierce style and attitude.

One analyst on ESPN’s The Jump called it,

“The league’s biggest personality clash since Diana Taurasi and Cappie Pondexter.”

🏀 What Will the League Do?

So far, the WNBA has not commented on Griner’s statement or whether the award will be re-evaluated. Sources close to the league office say officials were “blindsided” by the controversy and are “monitoring player responses closely.”

Meanwhile, fans are calling for a public conversation — or even a sit-down between the two stars.

“Put them on the same All-Star panel. Let them talk it out. Ratings would explode,” one fan wrote.

As the league battles for new fans, media buzz, and cultural relevance, this showdown between two of its biggest names is giving everyone something to talk about — whether it’s for better or worse.
