Angel Reese was sensational for the Chicago Sky on Sunday, recording a monster double-double that paved the way for the team's 92-85 win against the Los Angeles Sparks.

The 23-year-old forward finished with 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, while also grabbing 16 rebounds. Reese also dished out seven assists, including a nice pass to Ariel Atkins in the second quarter that even caught the WNBA's attention.

Reese made a bit of history in the process as well. Not only did she crack the top 10 of the Sky's all-time rebounding list, but she also set a new record for the most consecutive 15-rebound games with four.

Amid the historic day that Reese had, however, one particular moment really stood out. Her celebration late in the game caught the attention of many.

During the fourth quarter, after muscling her way to a layup over Sparks forward Dearica Hamby, Reese proceeded to mock her opponent by doing the "too little/small" taunt — a move popularized by NBA star Kevin Durant.

BRW Sports made the Durant comparison, sparking a flurry of comments on social media.

"I love her energy! She a dog! 24 pts 16 rebounds and 7 assist," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "TALK IT."

"I love her energy!!!She is getting better and better everyday!! Love to see it," a fan added.

A supporter remarked, "Let them know Angel Reese!"

"She’s herrrrrr," a hyped viewer further stated.

A sixth social media user shared, "Love it!! Game high 24 and a win!!! Hates punching the air!!!"

As mentioned, Durant made the celebration popular, having used the gesture a number of times in the past couple of years. Earlier in the 2024-25 NBA season, KD mocked then Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic with the "too small" taunt after hitting a shot over him.

It will definitely be interesting to see what other celebrations Reese will do as the 2025 WNBA season progresses. Perhaps fans will see more NBA-inspired cellys from the young All-Star.
