“It’s so cool. When she gets the ball, I’m running to look for the ball because I know she’s going to throw it,” Reese said. “She’s been great to play with. In the future, we’re going to be playing together a lot. Hopefully in four years we can be on the Olympic team together.”
WNBA fans will most certainly hope to see the WNBA’s two biggest rising stars represent Team USA in the next Olympics in 2028.
