"Let me just say something … I just want to say one thing. The delusion of thinking of gonna fly any of y’all out … Yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say," Reese said. "The delusion of thinking any one of us are flying y’all out … be for real. Thank you."
The video went viral after Reese narrowly missed out on extending her double-double streak against the New York Liberty. The streak ended at 15 games.
