Angel Reese etched her name into WNBA history this past Sunday, recording her 29th double-double of the season and setting a new league record. This monumental achievement came in the Atlanta Dream’s 81-89 win over the Minnesota Lynx, a game that highlighted Reese’s impact on the court.
History Made On The Hardwood
When the final buzzer sounded, Angel Reese had put up 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, not just helping her team secure the win, but also securing her place in the WNBA record books. Twenty-nine double-doubles in a single season isn’t just a stat, it is a testament to relentless effort and skill. And she wasn’t alone in bringing the heat for the Dream. Her teammates Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada also showed up big, each notching double-doubles themselves: Gray with 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Canada with 16 points and 10 assists. This Atlanta squad is clearly finding its rhythm, and Reese is absolutely at the heart of it.
The Tunnel Walk That Turned Heads
Before she was busy breaking records, Angel Reese was already causing a stir, proving she knows how to make an entrance. She arrived at the Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream matchup, already turning heads, in a sleeveless, turtleneck purple Chanel minidress, featuring a royal blue collar and the iconic Chanel logo in green. Reese completed the look with black leather fingerless gloves, matching knee-high Chanel heeled boots, a green quilted leather Chanel handbag with gold accents, and black sunglasses. Fans were completely enamored by her look, giving Reese plenty of love in the comment section of her Instagram post. Sports journalist Taylor Rooks declared, “Absolutely.” Love Island star Olandria chimed in with “Period sisterrrr,” complete with heart-eyed emojis. Even social media influencer Izzy Milan couldn’t hold back, writing, “whhhhhhewwww hey chanel banditttttt.” Seriously, the woman knows how to flex.
Destined For Greatness
What truly makes Reese’s record-breaking performance even more compelling are the words she spoke pregame. She opened up about her journey, saying, “I dream so big, and I think there’s no dream that is so big. So many people write me off. So many people have doubted me. Coming into the league and being the seventh pick, nobody thought I was gonna be able to be in this position, but I knew. And the people in my circle knew.” She continued, “I was supposed to be in this moment, and it was destined for me. So, it really doesn’t surprise me. I’m just really grateful, and I’m thankful. I don’t take any moment for granted at all, because this is an opportunity of a lifetime, and a lot of people really, really wish they could be here. So, I’m really grateful, and I’m really excited. So every milestone, every record is just destined to knowing who I am.” Those are the words of someone who knows her worth, who believes in her path, and who is clearly just getting started.
The Dream are set to face the Connecticut Sun at home on September 17. After a record-setting performance and a fashion statement that turned heads, you can bet all eyes will be on Reese, wondering what she will do next, both on the court and strutting into the arena.
