Angel Reese is on top of the world right now. The “Chi Barbie” earned the first win of her WNBA regular season career on Friday night, after she helped lead the Chicago Sky to a 83-74 win over the Dallas Wings. In 25 minutes, Reese scored 11 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and played with a ton of passion and energy on both ends of the floor.
And Reese is crushing it off the court, as well. She made waves when attending the 2024 Met Gala, is landing major endorsement deals, and is being showcased on billboards across Chicago.
The most recent money move Reese made was when she appeared on a commercial for the NBA playoffs, alongside teammate Kamilla Cardoso. In the commercial, Queen Latifah addresses a crowd, saying, “Tonight we honor basketball’s kings… and queens.” “Champs Only!” Reese replies, before her and Cardoso pretend to put a crown on their heads.
