Video: Angel Reese classily gives All-Star Game autographed shoes to a young fan who brought her Reese’s Pieces

Angel Reese made a young fan’s night on Saturday as she gave away her shoes following the WNBA All-Star Game.
Reese, a rookie for the Chicago Sky, impressed in her first All-Star Game appearance, notching a double-double as the WNBA squad upset Team USA.

And the ‘Bayou Barbie’ made sure to stop for a fan afterwards, who was holding a special poster for the player.
A young fan was seen holding a sign that offered the basketball star a Reese’s trade – a play on Reese’s last name, of course – with the candy stuck all over the poster.  Reese didn’t take the girl’s chocolate, but slipped off her shoes and signed them for the supporter.

The girl smiled from ear to ear as a nearby woman also shouted out ‘Thank you, Angel!’ several times.  It was a night to remember for Reese, who became the first rookie to record a double-double in WNBA All-Star Game history.  She scored 12 points and posted a game-high 11 rebounds as well.  Notably, Reese teamed up with on-court rival Caitlin Clark, who also impressed for the WNBA All-Stars with 10 assists.

Before the game, the Chicago forward joked that she’ll ‘get along’ with Clark for ‘one day, at least.’  She told ESPN, ‘We haven’t had a talk yet, obviously everybody can cheer for us both for one day – it’s going to be cool. I’m excited, this is going to be the first of many.  ‘We’re going to be on All-Star teams together in the future, Olympic teams together (holds up crossed fingers) in the future too. I’m just excited just to be here in this moment. I’m happy.’

Clark, meanwhile, was complimentary of Reese after the two practiced together on Friday.  ‘It’s super rare to be here as a rookie and then to have two of us is really great overall,’ the Fever star said. ‘I think it’s going to continue to help grow the game.’  Saturday was certainly a positive step in that direction, as celebrities like Aubrey Plaza were on hand in Phoenix for the action.
