Today’s successful athletes are not only earning substantial sums from their contracts, but are also capitalizing on the lucrative opportunities offered by social media. Platforms such as TikTok, YouTube and podcasts have become valuable revenue streams. Angel Reese, just 22 years old, is a prime example. With over 10 million followers on her social media accounts, Reese has quickly become a social media sensation, but of course most of her fame comes from being an excellent basketball player. In addition to her athletic career, she launched her podcast “unapologetically” just a few months ago and has already hosted high-profile guests like Shaquille O’Neal, Dwayne Wade, the Ball brothers, and Funny Marco.
Speedy Norman Confused by Angel Reese’s ‘Crush’ Question
Angel Reese has made waves in the fashion and entertainment world, appearing at prestigious events such as the Met Gala, a pre-Olympic event at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Most recently, she was honored at the Footwear News Achievement Awards last week, where she received the Style Influencer of the Year award. She loves the spotlight, and she got it on “Unapologetically.” Reese features guests each week, and in the latest episode with Speedy Norman, she jokingly asked him if he had a “crush” on one of her guests. Norman’s confused response, “What are you asking me?” added a lighthearted moment to their conversation.
It seems Angel Reese had more to say, but Norman deftly sidestepped the question. This isn’t the first time Reese has had this kind of exchange with her guests, but it’s clear that she’s not afraid of criticism and likes to know the gossip around her guests, which is what makes her shows unique. In the full episode, which you can watch or listen to via this link, Reese and Norman delve into some fascinating topics, including “WNBA baddies,” Kobe Bryant’s undeniable aura, and Norman’s experience interviewing former President Barack Obama. Reese’s fearless and candid nature ensures that each conversation is different and leaves viewers and listeners eager for more.
A Glimpse into Angel Reese’s Next Months
Reese now lives in Miami, and the next time we see her on the court will be in the new 3×3 winter basketball league Unrivaled, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. The league has announced its rosters, a big step ahead of its inaugural season, which begins in January. Now, Reese faces the challenge of her second season as a professional in the WNBA after a rookie season cut short by injury. Remember, she could have won Rookie of the Year in almost any other season, but with Caitlin Clark as her competition this season, the chances were nil.
Last season, however, she led the league in rebounding with an incredible 13.1 boards per game, the highest average in WNBA history. She also grabbed 446 rebounds, breaking Sylvia Fowles’ single-season record of 404. Although MVP A’Ja Wilson eventually surpassed that record, Reese was on pace for 500 rebounds before her injury. Reese will play under new head coach Tyler Marsh, who worked with three-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson for years. Marsh has noted Reese’s physical resemblance to Wilson and emphasized that she will be a cornerstone for the Chicago Sky in the future.
