Emotional moment Angel Reese CRIES after finding out she made WNBA All-Star team.
Angel Reese broke down in tears when she found out she made the WNBA All-Star team, shortly after getting off the court Tuesday night
The Sky rookie was seen speaking to reporters after Chicago’s 85-77 win over the Atlanta Dream, when she started crying.
‘We won today, but they just told me I’m an All-Star. I mean, I’m just so happy,’ Reese said while choking back tears at the Gateway Center in Georgia.
‘I know the work I put in. Coming into this league so many people doubted me and didn’t think my game would translate and I wouldn’t be the player I was in college, or better, or would be worse and wouldn’t be where I am right now,’ she went on.
‘But I trusted the process and I believed. I’m thankful that I dropped to No. 7 [in the WNBA Draft] and was able to come to Chicago. It’s just a blessing.’

‘So many people doubted me and didn’t think my game would translate,’ she said through tears
Reese concluded her emotional message, ‘I can’t thank my teammates and coaches enough for believing in me and trusting me … I’m really happy right now.’
Reese will team up with longtime rival Caitlin Clark, along with Aliyah Boston, Dearica Hamby and Arika Ogunbowale when the squad takes on Team USA in a pre-Olympics event in Phoenix.
Clark attracted the most votes – more than 700,00 – while Reese finished fifth with 381,518.
The pair of superstar rookies have been credited with propelling the league to new heights over the past couple of months, providing a boon for the WNBA in ratings, merchandise sales and attendance.

The pair will have to put their rivalry aside when they become All-Star teammates

They faced off in the college national championship last season and their rivalry came to a head in the pros when Clark was struck in the face by Reese during Chicago’s win over Indiana a few weeks ago.
They will need to put their differences aside for one game only though, as they team up to face off against the Paris Olympics team – just weeks after finding out they had both been snubbed from the roster heading to Europe this summer.
They have both been playing well on the court with Clark third in assists with 6.9 and Reese leading the WNBA in rebounds at 11.4.
Reese also wrote her name in the history books last week when she became the first player in the history of the league to put up 10 consecutive double-doubles in a single season.
