Former WNBA champion Syndey Colson has jumped to Angel Reese’s defense and criticized former NBA champion and All-Star Jeff Teague after he and Charleston White had sexualized the 22-year-old while speaking about her ‘dunking in lingerie’.
In an episode of the “Club 520” podcast of former NBA guard Teague, guest and influencer White, the latter made the lewd comments while going to suggest that Reese should start an OnlyFans account.
Colson, like many fans, had jumped to call out White for sexualizing Reese as well as Teague for posting the podcast. She wrote on X: “Having an ignorant ass sexist on and then actually dropping the episode and then wanting to collab with the W is craaazy work lmao”.

Their remarks had stemmed from Shaquille O’Neal’s bizarre comments when speaking to Reese on her “Unapologetically Angel” show. O’Neal was accused of making ‘creepy’ comment to Reese while seemingly making the WNBA rookie feel uncomfortable as he discussed her dunking in short-short’s.
O’Neal said: “Imagine you in the same little shorts you had on at the Wild ‘N Out show dunking. You know how many T-shirts you’re gonna sell? You’re tripping. What? Them same little shorts you had on at Wild ‘N Out… You’re not beautiful or good-looking you are gorgeous. There’s a lot of gorgeous women in the WNBA.”
But White had taken it much further on Teague’s podcast, going on to suggest that Reese is not a strong WNBA player and she might find a future away from the court in the adult film industry – receiving heavy criticism from fans.
Reese will head into her second season in the WNBA in 2025 after putting in an incredible rookie year with the Chicago Sky, averaging 13.1 rebounds per game – which is the best in league history – doing so in her first year in the league.
The 22-year-old was also just five rebounds away from securing the most boards in league history in one season. She is now set to play in the new Unrivaled 3-on-3 league this offseason, where she will play for Rose BC alongside Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Azura Stevens, Kahleah Cooper and Brittney Sykes.
