You can forgive Angel Reese’s mother for nearly dropping her birthday cake when she heard the news that her daughter had paid off her mortgage for her.

On Thursday, Jan. 30, the Chicago Sky star, 22, invited her mother "Mama Angel," whose real name is Angel Webb Reese, onto her YouTube show Unapologetically Angel. They spent almost an hour discussing Reese’s rise to fame and basketball career before her mom’s birthday surprise was revealed.

It’s never been a secret how much Angel appreciates her mom and their special bond. Shortly after making her WNBA debut, she shared that her mom kept her motivated. Months later, when Angel broke the record for consecutive double-doubles in a season, mom was watching from the stands, understandably stressed.
