Angel Reese, the newly-minted “Chi-Town Barbie,” was selected with the No. 7 overall selection in this year’s WNBA draft.
The Bayou Barbie who became the Chi-Town Barbie has seemingly upgraded her name once again.
Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese recently posted a couple of pictures on social media with her Sky uniform and the caption “League BARBIE.”
With six games played in her WNBA career, Angel Reese has shown promise on the court. In Chicago’s three victories this season, she has averaged 11 points and 8.62 rebounds per game. She has also made several huge plays on both ends of the court, per ESPN.com.
With Reese and Cardoso, the Sky have their frontcourt of the future in place as they look to compete during this current campaign.
At the age of 22, she has accomplished several notable feats, including becoming the first female NCAA national champion, leading her team in a growing rivalry with Caitlin Clark that has been compared to the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the 1980s, and becoming a rising pop culture icon.
She has also won an ESPY for Breakthrough Athlete of the Year, walked the red carpet at the Met Gala, and starred in a music video with Cardi B and Latto.

After Charles Barkley said that other WNBA players should quit being “petty” and give Caitlin Clark credit for securing the league’s private charter flights, visibility, and other benefits, Angel Reese had some words to say to both Clark and Barkley.
Barkley criticized several WNBA players last week for supposedly mistreating Clark while she was on the court.
Barkley contends that rather than criticizing Clark, the league’s female players ought to express gratitude for all of the reforms that have been made.
According to Reese, teams need more than just one player on a “charter flight” to be successful. “And that’s on getting a win in a packed out [arena], not just cause of one player on our charter flight,” she tweeted.
