Watch: Angel Reese & Ja Morant shimmies on “parade inside my city yeah" ahead of LSU women's championship show
Angel Reese reached a new level of stardom as she was seen dancing in a video with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. Following Louisiana State University's national championship win on Sunday, Reese is preparing for an on-campus victory parade on Wednesday night.
The two were seen having fun and even doing "The Griddy," a dance move that Morant popularized while having fun in games. Watch as the two stars link up and dance before the parade.
Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson and Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase began performing "The Griddy" during the Tigers' national championship football season in 2019. The dance was invented by Chase's friend, Allen Davis.

The parade will take place at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, beginning at LSU's School of Music, winding down Victory Hill to Mike the Tiger's habitat before a 7 p.m. celebration in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The parade will be free of admission, and fans are encouraged to have fun with the team during the parade.
LSU men's basketball coach, Matt McMahon, coached Ja Morant at Murray State before Morant became a star with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Caitlin Clark shared her thoughts on the criticism Angel Reese has been receiving
Aside from Reese, Caitlin Clark has also been in the spotlight as of late. Her incredible talent in handling and shooting the ball from great distances has allowed her to become the biggest college star today. Fans were even in awe of Clark's taunts on the court.
During the title game, Reese used most of the taunts that Clark used throughout the tournament. Following that, fans and experts quickly criticized the LSU star for this. The Iowa State star had to make things clear and shared that Angel shouldn't be criticized for what she did.
"I don't think Angel should be criticized at all. No matter which way it goes, she should never be criticized for what she did. I'm just one that competes, and she competed... I don't think she should be criticized, LSU deserves it and like I said, I'm a big fan of hers." Clark said.

She even pointed out that Iowa State shouldn't have been invited to the White House.
"I don't think runner-ups usually go to the White House. I think LSU should enjoy that moment for them... Maybe I can go to the White House on different terms, though. But that's for LSU."
