Angel Reese officially made history, becoming the first WNBA star to grab 500 rebounds in a single season during the Atlanta Dream’s recent matchup against the Chicago Sky. Talk about dropping a bombshell achievement on the league. This wasn’t just a quiet milestone, it was a thunderclap that echoed through the entire game and solidifies her spot as an absolute force on the boards.
A Week for the Record Books and Gold Medals
Reese needed only five rebounds to hit that incredible 500-mark, and she did it with authority, snagging it at the 1:53 mark of the first half. How’d she do it? By straight-up creating the opportunity herself, blocking a layup attempt by Sky’s Gabriela Jaquez before pulling down the board. That’s just pure hustle, right there. It’s even crazier considering she achieved this against her former team, where she spent the first two years of her WNBA career. This personal victory caps off an absolutely massive week for Reese, following her gold medal win with Team USA at the FIBA Women’s World Cup. Team USA defeated Team Germany in their fifth consecutive win, proving Reese is a winner on the world stage too. She even took to Instagram to reflect on it all, writing, “Thank you God, every dream came true, not on my time, but the time You knew. Came for one thing, I’m leaving with Gold. Keep writing me off, that story gets old. Back to the A, got more to unfold, Dreamers, here we come, we got a lot more goals.”
Tunnel Looks and Major Statements
Before she was busy making history on the court, Reese was already making statements off it. Her tunnel look for the Sky-Dream game was pure fire. She showed out in a Gucci pencil skirt, complete with monograms throughout, paired with a tight light blue T-shirt. For accessories, she added a Gucci belt, Gucci brown and gold heels, gold bracelets on one arm, and a Gucci necklace to complete the whole vibe. This isn’t her first rodeo making waves with her style, either. Last month, for the Dream’s game against the Minnesota Lynx, she rocked a sleeveless purple Chanel minidress with a royal blue collar and the iconic Chanel logo in green. That outfit was accessorized with black leather fingerless gloves, matching knee-high Chanel heeled boots, a green quilted leather Chanel handbag with gold accents, and black sunglasses. Reese is truly showing up and showing out, both on and off the court.
