Angel Reese was recently named a WNBA All-Star, one of two rookies on the roster. Reese joins Caitlin Clark as the only two rookies to feature on the same All-Star team since 2014. Following the announcement, Reese took to X to address her doubters.
“Write your own story. Prove yourself right before others. Do you. Be you. Don’t care what anybody says or thinks. Be who you are [and] everything will fall in place!” Reese posted.
Reese had a historic night in the WNBA, securing her 11th consecutive double-double—a league record—and earning her first All-Star game selection.
Reese had previously faced skepticism about whether her game would translate to the professional level. She has proven her critics wrong, being the only rookie to average a double-double with 13.3 points and a league-high 11.4 rebounds per game.
While her message was aimed at those who doubted her, it also showcased her confidence and determination.
Reese will play in the All-Star game on July 20, traveling to Phoenix, Arizona for the festivities.
