Reese’s move into media is a natural progression for her, and she has quickly become one of the most prominent stars in women’s basketball. She played for the University of Maryland and later Louisiana State University (LSU) during her college years before becoming a star. As a sophomore at Maryland, Reese earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in the 2021-22 season. Her transfer to LSU was a critical factor in her national prominence.

During her first year as an LSU player, Reese guided LSU to a national title and ended the season with a 102-85 victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the title game. The 2023 NCAA tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award was awarded to Reese for her dominant performances. In her six games during the tournament, she averaged 21.3 points, 15.2 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, cementing her reputation as a force in the league.

Following an impressive college career, Reese became the No. 7 overall pick by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft. She has made a remarkable transition to the professional level. With 15 consecutive double-doubles earlier this year, Reese broke the league record and made history in her rookie season. In just 27 games, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to hit 20 double-doubles, according to ESPN.

The Sky is currently in possession of the No. Reese is the 8th seed in the playoff race and leads the league with 12.9 rebounds per game. A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier, along with her, are the only three players in the league who average a double-double. It’s impossible to deny her impact on the Sky’s success, and her future in the league looks exceptionally promising.

Unapologetically Angel, Reese can bring the same passion and authenticity she shows on the court to her listeners. The podcast promises to give a distinctive view of her life, career, and the world of sports, giving fans an unobstructed look at one of the game’s most promising young stars. Reese’s influence off the court will be equally important as she continues to break records and lead her team on the court.
