Intense preparation and a future between sports and fashion
For her part, Angel Reese approaches this experience like a real basketball game.
« It’s not so different from training, » she explains. « It’s all about confidence. I’ve been preparing for basketball and the show these past two weeks. I’m ready to trade my Angel Reese 1s for heels!«
Moreover, this appearance comes as the player is going through a tense period with the Chicago Sky. Last season, she played 30 games, averaging 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds. However, relations with the staff seemed complicated. Thus, her future remains uncertain. Nevertheless, Angel Reese continues to explore new horizons, between sports, fashion, and entertainment.
