Angel Reese has been at the forefront of outlandish tunnel fits during her rookie WNBA season. She has brought fashion to the forefront which also saw a lot of fellow players join in. However, this trend was already in place with the likes of Skylar Diggins-Smith and other veterans who have been doing this for years.
