A star-studded All-Star team led by Caitlin Clark is set to lock horns against the likes of A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart in Phoenix on July 20. However, the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer will receive a helping hand from none other than her NCAA and now a WNBA adversary Angel Reese. The 3x All-American forward’s 11th straight double-double helped the Sky secure an impressive 85-77 road victory against the Atlanta Dream. But, that wasn’t the only reason that managed to bring out some tears of joy out of the rookie. As it turns out, a total number of 381,518 votes secured her a spot in the 2024 WNBA All-Star team. Following this, she embraced the moment wholeheartedly in Chicago’s post-game media address. Reese said, “They just told me I’m an All-Star. I’m just so happy. I know the work I put in. Coming into this league, so many people have doubted me and didn’t think my game would translate. I trusted the process and I believed.” ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad The Chi-town Barbie also spared a thought or two about her draft placements and what being part of the Chicago franchise means to her. Reese further added, “I’m thankful that I dropped to 7th, and was able to come to Chicago. It’s just a blessing.” Did Angel Reese’s emotional gratitude make you tear up? React! Reactions Finally, she capped off this topic by acknowledging the contributions of her head coach Teresa Weatherspoon and the rest of her teammates. Reese expressed, ” I can’t thank my teammates and my coaches enough for just believing in me and trusting me.” In the meantime, there is another accomplishment that this ferocious Chicago rookie just got her hands on. Just one game separated Angel Reese from entering the legion of greats alongside Candace Parker. Seemingly, the 2023 national champion registered an 11th consecutive double-double comprising 12 points and franchise high 19 rebounds to set a date with destiny against the Seattle Storm next. In addition to this, she also becomes the first WNBA rookie since Teaira McCowan in 2019 to secure 10-plus rebounds and 19-plus rebounds in a game.

An all-around play is evident from this performance as she also had 3 assists and 2 blocks next to her name. Another usual day in the office for Angel Reese. She is now within touching distance to etch her name into the record books. Fans wouldn’t want to miss her having her fair share of glory soon enough.
