LSU basketball star Angel Reese, fresh off a silver medal win with Team USA at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, has set her sights on a new objective: increasing the visibility and respect for women's basketball. Reese, who averaged 8.3 points and 11.1 rebounds during the AmeriCup tournament, recently shared her aspirations on social media.
Reese's performance during the 2022-23 season with LSU, where she averaged 23 points, 15.4 rebounds, and over 2 assists, steals, and blocks per game, cemented her status as a rising star. She acknowledges her growing influence on the sport, aiming to use her platform to champion other deserving players.
Her journey to prominence included a national championship victory with LSU against Iowa, a moment marked by some controversy. Despite the post-game discussions and subsequent dialogue regarding a White House visit, Reese ultimately joined her team at the presidential reception. This year also saw Reese expanding her reach beyond the court, making her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.
