In just her second season in the WNBA, Angel Reese is already rewriting the Chicago Sky record books—and doing it with a swagger that’s uniquely hers. The 22-year-old powerhouse forward recently became one of the top 10 all-time rebounders in Chicago Sky franchise history. That’s right. Just two seasons in, and she’s already among the elite rebounders who have ever donned the Sky jersey. 😱💪
For many rookies and even sophomore players in the WNBA, carving out a niche takes time. Not for Reese. Since she stepped onto the court, the former LSU star has brought with her the same fire, hustle, and relentlessness that made her a college basketball phenomenon. Her rebounding numbers have been nothing short of extraordinary, and her impact on both ends of the court continues to grow with each game.
Reese has quickly become a cornerstone for the Sky, not just for her statistical contributions but also for the emotional energy she injects into the team. Whether it’s crashing the boards with authority or diving for a loose ball, her presence is felt every second she’s on the hardwood. She plays with grit, heart, and an intensity that makes her impossible to ignore.
So how did she get to this historic milestone so quickly?
It’s all about consistency, preparation, and a never-back-down mentality. Game after game, Reese has racked up double-doubles and led her team in rebounds. Her ability to read the ball off the rim, fight for position, and outmuscle her opponents—even those with years of professional experience—has set her apart. She’s not just rebounding; she’s dominating the paint like a seasoned veteran.
Reese’s rise is also a testament to her work ethic. After a spectacular rookie season, most expected her to hit the so-called “sophomore wall.” Instead, she’s done the opposite—elevating her game and expanding her role as a leader. She’s embraced the challenge, improved her footwork, and has been more vocal on the court, becoming a key figure in the Sky’s young core.
Let’s put her achievement in perspective. Making it into the top 10 of a franchise’s all-time rebounding list usually takes years. Players often spend half a decade or more grinding before earning that spot. For Reese to do it in less than two full seasons speaks volumes—not just about her talent but about the seismic impact she’s already had on Chicago basketball.
As she continues her young career, the sky is quite literally the limit. With every board she grabs and every record she breaks, Reese is proving that she’s not just one of the best young players in the league—she’s one of the best, period. And if her trajectory continues, she could very well end up the all-time leader in Chicago Sky history.
For now, though, we celebrate this milestone: Angel Reese, still just in her second season, is officially one of the top 10 rebounders in Sky history. A rising force? Absolutely. A history-maker? Without a doubt. The legacy is just beginning.
