With history often somewhere closely behind, following her pinstriped No. 5 jersey on a seemingly game-by-game basis, Angel Reese has found that in pairing her 6-foot-3 frame with an unrivaled ambition, there are few accolades — or rebounds, for that matter — that can’t be reached. Low on time, yet still high on energy, the must-see rookie hunts down a pair of her misses before wrestling her way nearly out of the paint altogether in search of a third rebound. Finally reaping the benefits of her persistence, Reese connects on her final attempt and then a free throw a possessions later to officially stamp her spot in league history. Reese’s hustle earned her an exclusive spot with a WNBA-record 10 consecutive double-doubles as she constructed a 10-point, 16-rebound showing in a competitive loss to the Minnesota Lynx on June 30, 2024. Reese’s wide reach, figuratively speaking, had plenty to carry in the very near future, as the burgeoning Chicago Sky star would also be named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Sportswoman of the Year, and a 2024 WNBA All-Star within days of one another. · Jun 30, 2024
