LSU basketball star Angel Reese grabbed national headlines when he led the Tigers to a championship over Iowa’s Caitlin Clark while talking and walking.
Since then, Reese has been playing summer baseball, representing Team USA in the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup. She helped the US team to a silver medal by averaging 8.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game during the event.

Heading into the 2023-24 college basketball season, Reese has a new goal: to help elevate women’s basketball across the board.
«My goal is to bring attention to women’s basketball and make it more respected,» she tweeted on Friday.
«No, I may not be the best player at the moment, but I know my impact and how much attention I give to the game, so I will continue to do it for those who deserve their flowers in the league now!»

Reese is definitely one of the basketball players that helped make it. He had an incredible season at LSU in 2022-23 after he transferred from Maryland to play for Kim Mulkey.
He averaged 23 points, 15.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, and he’s far from over.
Reese raised her profile when she showed up to taunt Clark at the national championship. She then had words for first lady Jill Biden after Biden suggested the White House should extend an invitation to Iowa for a visit. However, it was all water under the bridge when Reese and LSU finally decided to go to the White House.
