“My stallion sister” – Angel Reese gives props to Megan Thee Stallion for her message to her after her record-breaking night

This WNBA season is shattering records in viewership, merchandise sales, arena attendance, and every other media metric previously set. The primary catalyst behind this surge is Caitlin Clark, but following closely is Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky forward. In her latest game, Reese secured her tenth consecutive double-double, setting a league record, and achieved her eleventh game with 10+ rebounds, another WNBA milestone. Reese and Clark are poised to be the rivalry to watch for the next decade. Hopefully, they will inspire a new wave of talent in the NCAA, propelling the WNBA’s level of play to new heights.

Records being set by a 22-year-old rookie give the league an added appeal, providing fans with more reasons to tune into games. These stars not only inspire fans but also captivate celebrities. Megan Thee Stallion, in a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe for his podcast “Club Shay Shay,” said, “This is so random, but I’ll be thinking, I’m really Angel Reese, when I’ll be back there,” referring to her mindset backstage at her concerts.

Reese even made an appearance at one of Megan Thee Stallion’s concerts, joining her on stage in Chicago to dance a few months ago as her rookie season was just beginning. Now, with over 15 games played, Reese has become an inspiration to Thee Stallion and many young fans who watch her every game.

Following the 70-62 home loss to the Minnesota Lynx, where Reese secured her 10th consecutive double-double (10 points, 16 rebounds), setting a WNBA single-season record, the Sky will play the Atlanta Dream tomorrow at 6:00 pm EST. Reese will look to continue her record streak, but she likely wouldn’t mind seeing it end if it means the team starts racking up wins instead of enduring more poor results.
