Brittney Griner Makes WNBA History Against Angel Reese originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Dream defeated the Chicago Sky 88-70, led by a historic game by Brittney Griner.

The Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has recently been trolled on social media for comparing herself to NBA legend Michael Jordan.

Satou Sabally labels Angel Reese as a WNBA unicorn, highlighting her rare combination of height, ball-handling, and playmaking ability.

Naturally, the attention around their growing rivalry hasn’t gone unnoticed by those involved in the women's game. The parents of UConn star Azzi Fudd, a projected top-three overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, have been closely watching the league their daughter is set to join.

As Reese struggles early in the season, the expectations around her are louder, and more complicated, than most.

Former Chicago Sky star Tamera Young was in attendance at the Sky versus Dream game. After the matchup, Angel Reese greeted Young in the stands. She then posted a photo of their interaction on her social media account, sending a message about the former Sky star. "A REAL ONE," Reese said.

Reese’s worst game came in the Sky’s previous meeting with the Liberty, when she scored a season-low two points on 0-of-8 shooting in a 99-74 loss in Chicago. Jones blocked two of Reese’s shots in that May 22 game, while Stewart and Nyara Sabally blocked her once apiece.
