The Chicago Sky forward is one of a host of names lined up to play in the league’s first season in January – while great rival Caitlin Clark has so far decided not to particate.

Reese has not been shy in listing all the benefits of playing in the new 3×3 league that pits some of the WNBA’s biggest names against each other in a new look league.

The league was co-founded by by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.

The pair came up with the idea in 2023 in a bid to bypass complications from the WNBA’s prioritisation rule which creates issues for players who travel overseas to play in the off-season.

Players can now play domestically and get a sizeable financial incentive with each of the 36 players in the league guaranteed $250,000 for the eight-week season.

Reese, who recently disclosed that her WNBA rookie contract would not cover her rent, has spoken about the benefits of heading to the competition in South Florida.

“For one I’m staying in the states, I don’t have to go overseas. I’m making 6 figures, I’m living in Miami during my off-season, Reese said on The WAE Show.

“I’m playing 34 of some of the best WNBA players, being able to get better. Some of the best coaches, we got T-Spoon, we got Phil, we’ve got a lot of great coaches there.”

Reese herself is one of the best players in the WNBA and enjoyed a great debut season in 2024 after being drafted by the Chicago Sky.

The 22-year-old was a strong Rookie of the Year contender but her season-ending wrist injury meant Clark faced no competition for the prize come the end of season.

Clark has opted against the Unrivaled league for her offseason, choosing to focus on golf and down time after an intense debut season that was her claim Rookie of the Year honors alongside a host of records.

2025 is set to be another exciting year for women’s basketball and Reese also explained how desperate she is to play alongside more great players.

“I’m excited to like really dial in and get better. Obviously the games are going to be cool and fun, but I just want to learn from the vets and stuff,” Reese added as one of the benefits of the league.

The 22-year-old previously also spoke about the format being a motivator to play.

“Being able to know two great players that are starting something, I think it’s amazing.

“3-on-3 is something that I love to do, I haven’t been able to play competitively but I think I can work on some of my individual skills because 3-on-3 exposes everything. So I’m excited for it.”

Reese will play alongside a strong team in Unrivaled with Chelsea Gray, Brittney Sykes, Kahleah Cooper, Lexie Hull, and Azura Stevens joining her to form Rose Basketball Club.

The team of six will be led by 30-year-old Los Angles Sparks’s assistant coach Nola Henry.

Unrivaled tips off on January 14 in Miami.

Angel Reese knows greatness when she sees it, and beauty, too.

The Chicago Sky All-Star has had amazing guest on her podcast “Unapologetically Angel” like Megan Thee Stallion, and Shaquille O’Neal. Game recognizes game with Reese no doubt.

Reese, who signed a historic deal with Reebok and has her own shoe coming that she announced while wearing a naughty secretary fit, attended the Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City on Wednesday night in a jaw-dropping look. She even got to meet Rihanna and go fangirl over her while Reese wore a stunning sheer all-black fit.

The 22-year-old Reese is also a huge fan of three-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter Gabby Thomas, who spoke at the awards show. While speaking, Reese posted a video of Thomas — who looked incredible — and captioned it with three words: “literally a BEAUTY” and tagged Gabby.

She’s definitely right: The 27-year-old Thomas from Austin, Texas, is literally a beauty, as well as a hell of an athlete who won three golds this summer in Paris.

Thomas herself is signed with New Balance for he shoes.

It looked like an incredible night with all-time athletes and entertainers in the building. Reese and Thomas were certainly two of the biggest showstoppers there.

Angel Reese Joins Simone Biles’ Lead In A Special Collab As She Stuns In An Exclusive Outfit

The Chi-Town Barbie never misses a chance to impress when it comes to fashion! Whether she’s gracing a fashion event, cheering on her favorite NFL team, or rocking bold Halloween costumes, Reese’s style choices never fail to turn heads. Her latest fashion statement? A classy fit that’s causing some buzz. The Chicago Sky sensation appeared to sport a creation crafted by a designer who has worked with none other than gymnastics superstar Simone Biles and the U.S. team.

Angel Reese knows how to keep her fans in the loop, sharing snippets of her life with her signature flair. Recently, the Chicago Sky star gave her Instagram followers another reason to gush as she re-shared a story that was all style. In the post, Reese rocked a sleek black sporty jacket, striking a pose for a mirror selfie. The original story came from Sami Miro, the designer and owner of Sami Miro Vintage, and it featured the caption, “@angelreese5 in 1/1 SMV.”

It seems the Chicago star’s latest fashion flex was no ordinary pick—it was likely a one-of-a-kind piece from Sami Miro Vintage’s exclusive collection. The same designer is no stranger to crafting iconic looks for athletes. Sami Miro had previously designed bespoke jackets for the U.S. Olympic Gymnast Trials as a part of a special collaboration with Nike.

“I want them to feel even more powerful wearing the bespoke piece that I made them,” Miro had said. Biles shared the snaps in the jacket, visibly thrilled as the confetti surrounded her and the Team USA, ready to take on Paris after the trials.

Sami Miro, a 2023 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist, has firmly established herself as a force in the fashion world. So, it’s no surprise that Angel Reese, ever the trendsetter, chose to rock one of Miro’s designs. Well, this isn’t the first time the Chicago Sky star has left fans and celebs buzzing. Just weeks ago, she wowed everyone in an outfit that paid homage to her admiration for Kim Kardashian—a look so striking it even caught the model’s attention.

Back in November, Angel Reese brought the heat with a dazzling red co-ord set from Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS line. The Chicago Sky star took to Instagram to show off the festive outfit, complete with white snowflake patterns. Reese made sure to tag SKIMS in her story, giving a nod to the brand behind the magic. But even that wasn’t her first time embracing Kardashian’s empire.

Previously, she was spotted rocking the headphone set from the Beats x Kim collection, proving she’s as much a trendsetter in the fashion world as she is on the court. It didn’t take long for Kim Kardashian to take notice of Angel Reese’s style game. The reality star and fashion mogul shared a snap of Angel rocking the Beats x Kim headphones on her Instagram story, adding an enthusiastic, “OMG she’s wearing the Beats x Kim headphones!” topped off with heart emojis.

For 22-year-old Reese, the shoutout was a thrilling moment. Wasting no time, she reposted Kim’s story with a heartfelt caption: “Kim K, you know I love you & I’m always repping the @beatsbydre family.” Talk about a full-circle fashion moment!

Reese continues to prove she’s a force both on and off the court; whether rocking a bespoke jacket or earning shoutouts from style icons like Kim Kardashian, the Chicago Sky star keeps raising the bar for what it means to be a trendsetter in the sports world.

Angel Reese Goes Viral In Jaw-Dropping Cheetah Print Outfit

WNBA star Angel Reese seemed to enjoy her Thanksgiving with her family.

The Chicago Sky rookie forward, who averaged 13 points and 13 rebounds a game in her inaugural WNBA season, was back home with her family in Maryland. The former LSU Tigers star, who transferred into the SEC program after starting her career with the Terrapins, was spending time with her mom and her brother, Julian Reese, who plays for Kevin Willard’s program in College Park.

Reese, an All-Rookie performer in 2024, turned heads with her jaw-dropping cheetah print outfit, which went viral on social media over the weekend.

WNBA fans seem to be pretty obsessed with the cheetah print outfit rocked by the Chicago Sky star.

“Sweetness Angel,” one fan wrote.

“It’s funny cuz I associate leopard print with Auntie ages lol,” one fan added.

“She look like somebody auntie,” one fan added.

“Single handedly carrying the wnba,” one fan added.

“She’s so fine..,” one fan added.

Reese, who won a national championship at LSU, missed the end of her rookie season with the Chicago Sky, suffering a season-ending wrist injury.

“What a year,” she wrote.

“I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol🥲 Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. ‘God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.'”

Reese is expected to make a full recovery and be at 100 percent health in time for the start of the 2024 WNBA season.

Angel Reese Goes Viral In Stunning New Selfies Promoting Kim Kardashian’s Skims

Angel Reese got fans’ attention with her latest selfies on her Instagram stories while wearing Kim Kardashian’s Skims.
Angel Reese might be enjoying her offseason with the WNBA right now. But she continues to attract a lot of attention from fans, especially with her latest pictures. The Sky forward posted pictures of herself donning Kim Kardashian’s athletic wear brand, Skims, to her Instagram story.
One fan joked about her play on the court, claiming, “Her jump shot broke af, she needs to be in the gym.” While another just praised her appearance, saying, “Damn Angel.”

In response to some of the comments slamming Reese for her earlier comments about not wanting to be sexualized, one fan rightly pointed out, “Her body her choice G.”

Reese has struggled in recent months with fan reaction to her appearance, with her mentor, Shaquille O’Neal, making some inappropriate comments about her during a podcast appearance together. Coming from someone who is like a father figure to her, something Shaq himself has said, it was quite an uncomfortable watch.

Reese’s interactions with fans haven’t been all that great, so you can understand her hesitation. She revealed recently how a WNBA fan was extremely rude to her for not signing an autograph. Having to deal with such a rabid and entitled fan would not have been easy.

It isn’t known whether the pictures Reese shared are just her showing her support and appreciation for Kardashian’s Skims brand or a sign that she might be signing an endorsement deal with them soon.

Skims usually do professional photoshoots with their brand ambassadors and models, so fans might just have to wait and see whether Reese is one of the new faces of the brand. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Reese go viral again if any professional photos from a possible Skims shoot come out.

“I just don’t know if I have the confidence”

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is one of the new faces of women’s basketball.

As such, fans are always looking forward to scoops on what’s going on in Reese’s personal life, as basketball stars have become celebrities both on and off the court. To connect more with fans, Reese started her own podcast, Unapologetically Angel.

In the show’s latest episode, Reese sat down what celebrity stylist Law Roach, and the topic of dating shorter men, like a-list actress Zendaya’s high-profile relationship with Spiderman co-star Tom Holland, came up.

“I love Zendaya’s confidence,” Reese stated.

“But I just don’t know if I have the confidence to date a man shorter than me.”

She went on to explain: “In my world, it is uncommon. Like, as an athlete, it’s kind of uncommon.”

“But you never know, you may fall in love with a short king,” Roach said.

“My short king might be out there,” Reese responded. “I’m waiting for you; I’m looking for you.”

“Well I have a chance,” one person on Twitter convinced himself.

“Why would she bring up Tom and Zendaya height difference to their close friend,” one fan said, noting Roach’s relationship with Holland and Zendaya.

It’ll be interesting to see if Reese ever decides to go public with a shorter guy.

Angel Reese warns NBA prospect, 17, about dating older women – as fans think she’s referencing a WAG

Angel Reese gave a serious warning to Kiyan Anthony, a 17-year-old basketball prospect, about his love life as she welcomed him onto her podcast.

Kiyan, son of basketball legend Carmelo, is set to announce his college decision in two weeks in a big step for a career that many have predicted will see him follow his dad into the NBA.

But as his fame and profile grows, WNBA star Reese gave him a serious warning about his life away from the court in his ‘Unapologetically Angel’ appearance.

‘You need to be careful,’ she said. ‘When you go to the league – this is coming from ‘sis’ – even when you’re in college, you need to be careful with these women.

‘No, for real. One slip up – you be seeing these stories? Ki, don’t do it. I’m coming after y’all. These women – because you’re 17 – it’s the women you’ve got to worry about that’s a lot older too. Be careful.’

The viral clip has been viewed over three million times on X and while plenty of fans are praising Reese for looking out for Anthony, other fans also think she is referencing Draya Michelle.

The 39-year-old Michelle just had a child with Houston Rockets star Jalen Green who, at 22 years old, is the same age as her oldest son.

‘Draya caught a stray, lol,’ said one fan in the replies, while another commented: ‘Angel is talking to straight to Draya.’

A different X user wrote back: ‘Might as well say Draya and call it a day.’

Reese also had some advice for Kiyan when he said he planned to mainly host parties at his house instead of going out.

‘You can’t be having anybody over there,’ she told him. ‘And you tell them girls to drop their phone at the door.

‘It’s hard to tell somebody that, but if they don’t respect that, they gotta leave. Just make sure nobody recording.’

Reese herself has seen her own profile rise dramatically off the back of her rookie WNBA season with Chicago Sky.

Earlier this week, she wowed in a red carpet appearance at a fashion awards in New York.

Reese’s first WNBA season ended early due to a wrist injury that required surgery but she is expected to be ready to play in the new Unrivaled league that launches in January.
