Dominique Malonga, our own second-year Seattle Storm phenom, is on the verge of making WNBA All-Star history tonight in Chicago, and believe me, you do not want to miss it. Forget all the talk about celebration over competition, because the biggest story out of the United Center is going to be a slam dunk, literally. This French phenom is about to throw one down, possibly multiple times, and it is going to be absolutely ELECTRIC.
Dom Is Gonna Dunk, And You Heard It Here First
Seriously, this is a near-guarantee. You might have heard whispers, maybe even questioned if our Storm star deserved her All-Star honor, but let me tell you, the reason she is in Chicago is because her game already reaches unbelievable heights. And what screams “unbelievable heights” more than a monstrous slam? Malonga has not dunked in a WNBA game yet, which only makes this prediction even more insane and thrilling. We all saw her light up Sephora Arena with multiple dunks for Breeze BC during the 2026 Unrivaled season, though, so we know she has it in her. I am telling you, her fellow All-Stars are going to clear the lane on a breakaway, begging her to show off. But imagine if she is bold enough to posterize another All-Star in the halfcourt? That is the kind of moment that gets etched into history, and our Seattle star is ready to deliver.
Angel Reese, Chicago’s Queen, Crowned MVP?
While we are all hyped for Malonga, there is another massive story brewing in the Windy City: Angel Reese is predicted to win MVP, and it makes so much sense. She is back in the city where she instantly ascended into WNBA stardom, making her claim to the town all weekend. She even rocked an impromptu concert with Kahleah Copper on Thursday night and graces the side of a Chicago building with Paige Bueckers for a Coach ad. Plus, she has that official partnership with Barbie, debuting the basketball-playing Angel Reese Signature. The stage is set for her to absolutely shine. Yeah, the All-Star Game is supposed to be more about fun and camaraderie than cutthroat competition, but you know honorary general managers Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon, along with coaches Becky Hammon and Cheryl Reeve, are still pushing their squads to bring some intensity. But watch out for Reese.
The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game kicks off tonight, Saturday, at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC, and the stakes for Seattle are simple: witnessing Dominique Malonga make history. Get ready, Emerald City, because Dom is about to take flight!
