Move over, basketball purists—Angel Reese isn’t just here to rebound your missed shots. She’s here to snatch the spotlight, dribble circles around your expectations, and pose flawlessly while doing it. Chicago Sky’s powerhouse rookie is redefining what it means to be a WNBA star, both on the court and under the camera flashes.
Reese wrapped up her first professional season with eye-popping stats—averaging 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. If you blinked, you might’ve missed her rising to snatch another board or casually sinking a sweet jumper. But let’s be clear, she’s not just racking up double-doubles; she’s doubling down on her brand.
From Hardwood to Haute Couture
In her latest gig, Reese isn’t just showcasing her skills in sneakers; she’s the face of Reebok’s new “Sport Is Everything” campaign. The ad features Reese in her element—sinking shots with the grace of a ballerina who just discovered the thrill of breaking ankles. But that’s not all. Cut to her absolutely owning a photoshoot, sporting threads that scream, Yes, I dunk and I slay.
And let’s talk about that tagline: “What is sport? It’s showing the next generation it’s possible and proving you don’t have to be one thing.” Translation: Reese is out here rewriting the playbook while reminding everyone that versatility is her middle name.
Rookie Salary? Child’s Play
Sure, Reese made a humble $73,439 in her rookie season, which, let’s be honest, might not even cover a Kardashian’s handbag budget. But that’s merely pocket change compared to her growing endorsement empire. Reebok, Beats by Dr. Dre, Good American, Reese’s Pieces (no relation, but who’s complaining?), and even Tampax have all queued up to partner with the young star. Add in her hit podcast, Unapologetically Angel, and Reese is practically printing money in her sleep.
And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: a signature Reebok shoe set to drop in 2026. If you thought Air Jordans were the peak of sneaker culture, just wait until the Reese Rockets hit the shelves. They’ll probably be the only shoes capable of improving your crossover and your confidence at brunch.
More Than Just a Pretty Stat Sheet
It’s not just about the dollars and deals. Reese’s real impact is on the next generation. Whether she’s hitting clutch shots, crushing photoshoots, or unapologetically speaking her mind, she’s showing young athletes—and especially young women—that they can be dynamic, multi-faceted, and fiercely themselves.
So, if you’re still doubting Angel Reese’s trajectory, here’s a pro tip: don’t. She’s soaring higher than her rebounds, and the sky (pun intended) isn’t even the limit.
