Angel Reese is impressing people on the court during the WNBA Finals, but she's also impressing viewers with something that has nothing to do with her basketball skills: her dance moves.

Now, Reese's stats are hard to ignore.

After the Atlanta Dream's WNBA Finals appearance on Monday, the WNBA communications team revealed that Reese is now the "youngest player to record 30 points and 15 rebounds in a WNBA postseason game."

"Reese joins Jonquel Jones, Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson as the only players to achieve this milestone," they added.

Angel Reese's dance moves steal the show during WNBA Finals

But during the Dream's game against the Golden State Valkyries, which the Dream won 79-65, Angel showed her stuff on the sidelines with a fun dance move that's going viral.

On Tuesday, the Atlanta Dream shared a collaborative Instagram post showing Reese down closer to the floor during the WNBA Finals, dancing with her legs going back and forth and her arms moving along with the beat. This moment has become a GIF that won't be going away anytime soon.

"Angel's a gift that keeps on GIFing," they wrote in the caption.

The post also shows several screenshots and video clips of the moment, along with reactions from fans. So, on top of Dream fans getting to watch an action-packed game in which their team came out on top, they also got introduced to Reese's dancing talent.

With that win, the series is now tied 1-1. The Dream and Valkyries meet again on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET in Atlanta. The WNBA Finals follow a best-of-seven format, so a team has to win four games to clinch the championship, meaning both teams have a lot of work ahead of them to win it all.
