The women’s college basketball scene was taken to new heights this season, as several different stars helped create an incredible level of excitement around the game. Much of this momentum picked up last season when Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese had their championship game battle. The two stars faced off again in the tournament this season, with Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes eliminating Reese and the LSU Tigers.
This of course came after Reese and LSU defeated Clark and Iowa in last year’s title game, and there was a lot of discourse surrounding the individual matchup between those two players. Now both in the WNBA, Reese and Clark are helping bring more attention and popularity to the league.
In a recent interview with WGN9, Reese said she wants Chicago Bulls legend Michal Jordan to come to a Chicago Sky game this season.
“I want Michael Jordan to come to a game,” Reese said. “I’m telling you right now, I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. I’ve never met him. That’s the only person I really want to come to a game.”
Jordan is of course a legend in Chicago, and always will be. It would be very cool to see him come out to a game to support Reese and the Chicago sky, because as previously mentioned, the women’s game is continuing to grow because of stars like Reese.
Sky Rookie Angel Reese Drops Startling Message About Her Safety in Chicago
Chicago Sky rookie and former LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese is raising eyebrows after dropping a startling message about her personal safety.
Reese, 22, is one of the most popular players in women’s basketball right now. She’s landed dozens of high-profile endorsements since being taken with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She even attended the 2024 Met Gala.
Reese’s stardom has sparked a major concern about her safety. Now more than ever, female celebrities need security. And while it’s possible the Chicago Sky are doing what they can to protect her, the organization needs to step things up.
Reese dropped a startling message about her safety in Chicago over the weekend. Apparently, someone took a photo of her vehicle before posting it on social media.
“i think taking a picture of somebody car & posting it on social media is the weirdest thing ever,” said Reese. “having security or not i just wanna know what do you get from that??”
That’s not normal behavior. Angel Reese needs to be protected at all costs.
Fortunately, the WNBA is taking the proper steps to ensure their players are taken care of. Instead of taking public flights to travel to and from games, the WNBA is implementing private flights for the entire league. That’s an important step to ensure players like Reese and No. 1 overall WNBA Draft pick Caitlin Clark are protected.
Reese and the Sky start the 2024 season on May 15 vs. the Dallas Wings.
