Angel Reese is quickly becoming one of the most beloved stars in the WNBA, and her connection with her fans, lovingly dubbed “Reese’s Pieces,” only grows stronger with each gesture she makes. Reese, known for her electrifying performances on the court, showed her love for her fans in a special way during Tuesday night’s game.
The Chicago Sky faced off against the reigning back-to-back WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces in Sin City. While the Sky couldn’t secure the win, Reese scored a personal victory for one of her most dedicated fans.
A fan, who goes by jakhia11 on TikTok, attended the game with a sign that read, “Angel, my mom bet me $100 I couldn’t get your signature.” With Reese’s reputation for going the extra mile for her fans, it didn’t take long for the WNBA star to notice the sign from courtside. Not only did Reese take the time to sign the fan’s poster, but she also looked directly into the fan’s camera and delivered a playful message to her mom: “You owe her $100.”
The heartwarming video, which was quickly shared on social media, ends with the young fan celebrating her victory—and, of course, receiving her $100 payout thanks to Reese’s autograph. The moment further cemented Reese’s status as a fan favorite, proving that her impact extends far beyond the basketball court.
That’s the kind of All-Star behavior that fans have come to expect from Reese, who has made an indelible mark both on and off the court.
On the court, Reese continues to prove why she earned a spot on the WNBA All-Star team as a rookie. She is currently averaging a double-double this season, with 13.3 points and a league-leading 13.2 rebounds per game. Over the weekend, she made history by becoming the WNBA’s all-time single-season rebound leader and single-season offensive rebounding leader. In addition, Reese has set the record for the most consecutive double-doubles, underscoring her dominance as one of the premier players in the league.
Her relentless work ethic and extraordinary performances have made her a household name in the WNBA, but it’s her down-to-earth connection with fans that makes her truly special. Reese’s willingness to engage with her supporters in such personal ways, like helping a fan win a bet with her mom, shows that she understands the impact she has on her audience.
As Reese continues to break records and lead her team on the court, it’s clear that she is also building a legacy off the court.
Whether she’s grabbing rebounds or signing autographs, Angel Reese is proving to be one of the brightest stars in the WNBA, making her presence felt in every way possible.
