Since the WNBA's inaugural season in 1997, Angel Reese is 1 of 4 basketball players (including NBA) with 50+ double-doubles in her first 75 games, and one away from tying Blake Griffin for the most in that span, regardless of league ๐ค

๐ฐ| Angel Reese has been included in Create & Cultivateโs 2026 100 list.
About the list: โThis yearโs honorees are women who build, lead, and influence at scale. They move markets, shape culture, and make decisions that matter.โ
I have no empathy for this blitz. Angel was harassed everyday for 2+ years straight. This isnโt even a fraction of what sheโs dealt with ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Following Atlanta Dreamโs shootaround this morning, I asked Angel Reese about getting to see Indianaโs Raven Johnson:
โWe talk probably once a week. Her mom comes to the games and sits courtside with my mom. But itโs great to see her being able to adjust to the W so quickly.โ
My respect and admiration for Angel Reese jumped 10 levels HIGHER after attending my first WNBA game last night.
All jokes aside. I am happily married to a DIME. This is not on some crush type stuff. ๐
The thing that JUMPED OUT to me about Angel was the fact that she never STOPPED! She never took a single play OFF.
Even as MANY of her teammates appeared to be mentally out of it all game long.
The frontcourt players from the Indiana Fever were much bigger and stronger than her.
They were face-guarding her with 2-3 players on nearly every shot to keep her off the boards!
This didnโt matter!! She went after every single rebound, with MULTIPLE efforts.
If WNBA teams played Angel Reese one-on-one in the paint, she would average 20+ rebounds per game!
She is THAT tenacious, THAT quick off her feet, THAT hungry, and that STRONG!!!!
She doesnโt LOOK as big or as strong as the Feverโs frontcourt in person, but she is strong as CRAP because they could not MOVE her with multiple bodies!
I see WHY she was a four-time state Champ in high school.
I see WHY she was a National Champ in college.
I see WHY she was a Champ in the Unrivaled league.
She will ABSOLUTELY win a WNBA championship SOON!!
Champions just move DIFFERENT!!!
