While some of the players mentioned recently retired local Mercury WNBA legend Diana Taurasi, and other notable athletes such as Serena Williams, this wasn't the case for star player Kevin Durant, who confidently said... Angel Reese.

Notably, rumors started circulating that the two basketball phenoms from the DMV were dating last summer, after being spotted sitting courtside together during Team USA's women's basketball match vs. Germany.

Yet, Reese addressed this on her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, as she claimed to be single and just coincidentally happened to be sitting next to the 15x All-Star.
"That was never a thing. I don't even know how that became a thing because I sat next to him," Reese said.
When referencing her type, Angel Reese went on record saying her partner has to at least 6-foot-7, and preferably would have to be an NBA player.

With this in mind, 36-year-old KD, who is listed as 6-foot-11, does indeed fit that criteria. And the internet seems to believe they would make a good match, as their kids certainly would end up being ballers.
