Angel Reese, the WNBA rookie, surprised her mother, Angel Webb Reese, on her birthday by paying off her mortgage during the January 30 episode of her YouTube show. Reese revealed the gift after presenting her mom with a birthday cake, leading to an emotional reaction. She expressed her desire for her mother to enjoy retirement while still having the option to work if she wanted. Reese acknowledged her mom's pivotal role in her basketball journey, highlighting the strength and independence of Webb as a single parent and former athlete.
"Well it's your birthday today... You said that if your mortgage was paid off that you would retire... So your mortgage today has been paid," Reese told her mom, who was so shocked she nearly dropped her cake.
"She taught me how to play. Most of my family plays basketball, so I kind of had to play. I tried ballet, gymnastics, and things like that, but nothing worked except for basketball."
