Chicago Sky star Angel Reese had the perfect reaction to her Unrivaled teammate Lexie Hull’s bold walkout song choice during the league’s 1-on-1 tournament.

As the competition heats up, Hull’s entrance moment stole the show, and Reese made sure to take credit for it.

Unrivaled’s highly anticipated 1-on-1 tournament officially kicked off. The event featured several intense matchups, including Katie Lou Samuelson vs. Napheesa Collier, Shakira Austin vs. Chelsea Gray and Aliyah Boston vs. Kahleah Copper.

One of the most talked-about matchups was Hull facing two-time WNBA All-Star Rhyne Howard. Though Howard secured the win, Hull became the center of attention for a different reason.

Before stepping onto the court, Hull walked out to the song “Set It Off” by Boosie Badazz. The unexpected choice quickly became a viral moment, catching the attention of fellow players and fans.

Dallas Wings guard DiJonai Carrington took to X to share her reaction.

“Y’all, we got to pick a walkout song to walk out to for 1v1. Why did Lexie Hull just walk out to Boosie- Set It Off. I love her,” Carrington wrote along with crying and laughing emojis.

Carrington’s post gained nearly 225k views, sparking an online conversation about Hull’s entrance. That’s when Reese chimed in.

“Yup! And you know who chose that for her,” Reese replied.

While Hull put up a fight against Howard, finishing with 7 points, 12 rebounds and one turnover, her shooting struggles led to a 12-7 loss, per Sportskeeda.

Reese, who opted out of the 1-on-1 tournament, still made her presence felt with her influence over Hull’s walkout moment.
