Lonzo Ball’s Generosity Surprises WNBA Star Angel Reese
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball made headlines off the court with an unexpected act of generosity toward WNBA star Angel Reese. The rising basketball star was recently fined $200 by the league for an on-court incident. However, Ball decided to step in and cover the fine—in a big way.
Instead of simply paying the exact amount, Ball sent $2,000 to Reese, a move that took her by surprise. The Chicago Sky forward took to social media to express her shock and gratitude, humorously pointing out that Ball had overpaid by tenfold.
“I got fined $200, and Lonzo Ball just sent me $2,000. Appreciate it, bro, but I think you gave too much!” Reese wrote, adding laughing emojis.
Ball, known for his lighthearted personality, responded playfully, saying, “Keep the change.”
The moment quickly went viral, with fans praising Ball for his support of women’s basketball. Some even speculated that the gesture was a way to highlight the pay disparity between the NBA and WNBA, as Ball’s fine coverage was 10 times the original penalty.
Ball, who has been sidelined due to a lingering knee injury, remains a beloved figure in Chicago. Despite his absence from the court, his impact continues to be felt—both in the basketball community and beyond.
Reese, a rising WNBA star and former LSU standout, has been making waves in the league, and this interaction with Ball only adds to her growing presence in the sports world.
While Ball’s act of kindness was unexpected, it’s a reminder that the basketball brotherhood extends beyond leagues and genders—and sometimes, it comes with a little extra cash. 💸🔥
