Kevin Durant Calls Angel Reese His Favorite Female Athlete, Ignites Dating Rumors
Along with his colleagues, Durant was asked to pick their favorite female athletes in honor of Women's Empowerment Month during the Phoenix Suns' Sunday, March 3 game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In an unexpected turn of events, Durant chose WNBA rising sensation Angel Reese as his preferred female athlete.
Reese just had one season as a professional athlete, hence Durant's decision emphasizes the respect and adoration he has for the 22-year-old forward. For her part, Angel Reese has been vocal supporter of Durant for years.
The two athletes have developed a mutual respect based on Reese's intense love for Durant and their shared connection to the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area.
She notably established a rookie record most double-doubles in a single season—23—including an amazing WNBA-record 15 straight double-doubles.
Reese has refuted these claims, but Durant's most recent public admission of her fuels rumors once more. Fans will have to wait to find out whether their off-court friendship matches their mutual respect on it.
