Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has a new fan in town, and it is none other than a member of the Jordan family. The WNBA continues to garner attention with the entry of rookies who made a name for themselves in the NCAA. After Caitlin Clark, it’s Angel Reese, who is the center of attraction for basketball buffs.
After things did not go her way today, Michael Jordan‘s ex-wife Juanita Vanoy, decided to share some positive words, to show her support for the 22-year-old. Looks like Reese is one step closer to her desire.
The Chicago Sky are 2-2 this season after they lost to the Connecticut Sun today. Despite Angel Reese scoring 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, the Sky lost by four points, 82-86, to the Sun. Although Reese might not be proud of this performance from her, Juanita is still appreciative of the 22-year-old.
The Chicago Bulls legend’s ex-wife shared a picture of Reese on her Instagram, and added, “We’ll get the next one…“, shedding some positivity on the rookie. What’s to be noted with this story is that Reese shared a few weeks ago, “I’m telling you right now, I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. I’ve never met him. That’s why the first time I want him to come to a game.”
Despite a loss today, Reese has got the attention of Jordan’s ex-wife. Maybe, if the above words reach the 6x champion’s ears, her dream might come true. However, a thing of notice here is that Jordan’s presence has been recorded in several NBA games. But, what remains borderline shocking is that he has never attended WNBA games. At least, there have been no public sightings of the same. Only time will tell if he will grace the WNBA games and boost till popularity further.
Getting back to the rookie, there is definitely some Chicago blood running in Angel Reese. The competitive spirit, the trash-talking, etc. portrays her like she is a 10-year veteran in WNBA. There were dramatic scenes on the court today, where Reese brought out her MJ side.
Angel Reese appreciates the harsh treatment from a WNBA star, despite conceding a hard fall
During the third quarter of Sky vs Sun, Reese took a hard fall on the court after she was pushed by Alyssa Thomas, who went for a rebound. Reese’s head hit the ground, due to which Thomas was ejected from the game with a flagrant 2. Reese was in evident pain, but she continued to play the game till the end. She played a total of 33 minutes today and also stunned the media by sharing a few words on the hard foul.
Reese told in the presser, “They don’t give a damn if I’m a rookie…They’re not supposed to be nice to me …Thank you AT[Alyssa Thomas] for sending a message to me because I got back up and I kept going.” Hard fouls, physical plays, etc. nothing can stop Reese at the moment. Does this not remind you of Jordan against the Detroit Pistons’ Bad Boys?

The Bulls legend never complained, and that is something Reese looks up to. Juanita Jordan, who is a Chicago native, has keen eyes on Reese. Let’s see if Michael Jordan shifts attention towards the WNBA rookie any time soon.
