Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is an “absolutely relentless competitor”, as described by the team’s general manager, Jeff Pagliocca. “She pursues the ball better than anybody I’ve ever seen. She’s a winner.”
Pagliocca is so right. Chicago’s No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, the former LSU Tiger quickly earned the trust of the front office and coaching staff and earned a starting spot right away.
Angel Reese draining 3-pointers with ease makes the rest of the WNBA uneasy for the 2025 season
Reese dominated in her rookie season, with her elite rebounding as a standout skill -producing one of the best rebounding seasons ever recorded in the history of the WNBA-. She recorded 446 rebounds (172 offensive boards, the most in a single season all time).
And she also broke the all-time record for consecutive double-doubles in her rookie season with 15 straight and averaged 13.6 points with multiple 20-point showings. Her scoring prowess in the WNBA appears to just be getting started.
Angel Reese is getting busy on the lab
Angel Reese posted a video of her 3-pointer ability as she trained with NBA & Youth player developtment specialist Iren Cergio Rainey. On the images we see the Chicago Sky forward raining four consecutive 3-pointers with such ease that it should definitely scare the rest of the WNBA.
“Extraordinary ain’t for everybody but you best believe the ‘Bayou Barbie’ Angel Reese is one of them ones.” wrote Rainey on his Instagram account as he shows all the hard work and grind that Reese put on her game during the off-season.
Reese took more three-pointers on her rookie year than any one season in college and is continuing to develop her range to become a hybrid, stretch four for the Sky.

“I was in the gym all night last night shooting threes,” Reese said after knocking down a three on Sept. 6. “Just being able to continue to gain confidence. My teammates continue to tell me to keep shooting no matter how many times I miss, they always tell me to shoot it. … Being able to stretch out, I think it helps my teammates, so I’m going to be whatever my teammates need me to be.”
Angel has the future looking as bright as ever in Chicago. It looks as though opposing teams will have to figure out a way to limit her scoring and rebounding capabilities for many years to come.

Courtside Fashion and Energy
Reese‘s courtside appearances aren’t just about her infectious energy-they’re also a showcase of her impeccable style. Most recently, Reese attended the Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic game at the Kia Center, effortlessly turning heads in a chic, winter-ready outfit.
She wore a sleek little black dress with beige fur details on the collar and cuffs, paired with a beige Chanel mini handbag. Reese‘s radiant smile and warm greetings further enhanced her magnetic presence, making her a standout figure at the game.
While fans couldn’t get enough of her stunning look, many couldn’t help but notice a trend: Reese‘s courtside visits seem to coincide with home team victories. The Orlando Magic’s 108-104 win over the Celtics was no exception.
The ‘Angel Reese Effect’ Takes Over
On social media platform X, fans have been buzzing about Reese‘s apparent streak of good luck for home teams. One user noted, “Home teams have gone 12-0 in games when Angel Reese has been in attendance.” This unbroken streak has earned her the title of a “lucky charm” for the teams she cheers on.
Even Reese herself joined in on the fun, humorously asking about the “record” tied to her attendance. Fans have since flooded her with invitations to attend games for their favorite teams. “Come save the Sacramento Kings please,” one fan pleaded, while another joked, “Stay away from my guys!”
However, the streak isn’t entirely flawless. Reese‘s attendance at a New York Knicks vs. Orlando Magic game at Madison Square Garden saw the Magic fall 100-91. Yet, her appearance at another Magic game against the Detroit Pistons resulted in a decisive 111-100 victory for Orlando.
