A video of a 16-year-old Angel Reese making easy work of the opponents in her youth league has gone viral on social media.

Long before she became a household name in college for the LSU Tigers, Angel Reese established herself as one of the top high school prospects in the country. She starred at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, leading the team to one IAAM A Conference championship.

While she was in high school, the 2020 McDonald’s All-American selection also played for Team Takeover, a youth team in the Amateur Athletic Union.

The Courtside Films X/Twitter account posted a video of a 16-year-old Angel Reese dominating for Team Takeover in an AAU game. And the future Chicago Sky star certainly made it look easy on the court:

Fast forward to 2025, and the 23-year-old Reese has established herself as one of the WNBA’s best and most popular players. Before suffering a season-ending wrist injury in her rookie 2024 season, Reese briefly set the WNBA single-season rebound record (446), though it was broken by Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson (451).

The 2023 NCAA national champion averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in her WNBA rookie season.

Reese has picked up where she left off in 2024, averaging 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Her 12.6 rebounds per contest lead the league by a wide margin, with the aforementioned A’ja Wilson second at 9.4.

The Sky have the second-worst record in the WNBA at 5-11, but they’re only 2.5 games behind LAs Vegas for the final playoff spot.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.

Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
