Reese joins a group that includes LeBron James, Micah Parsons, Mookie Betts, Travis Kelce and Draymond Green as active athletes who host their own podcast.  The move into media comes as Reese has established herself as one of the biggest stars in women’s basketball dating back to her college days at Maryland and LSU.

Reese earned All-Big Ten first-team honors as a sophomore in 2021-22. She transferred to LSU as a junior and became a superstar. Her first season with the Tigers resulted in a national championship, highlighted by a 102-85 win over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the title game.  The Bayou Barbie was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 NCAA tournament. She averaged 21.3 points, 15.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game in six starts during the tournament.

Reese was selected with the No. 7 overall pick by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft. She has already had a historic rookie campaign, setting a new league record with 15 consecutive double-doubles earlier this season. She also became the fastest player to reach 20 double-doubles, accomplishing the feat in 27 games.  The Sky currently own the No. 8 seed in the playoff race. Reese leads the league with 12.9 rebounds per game and is one of only three players averaging a double-double, along with A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier.
