Angel Reese, the rising star of the WNBA, is making headlines not just for her impressive skills on the court but also for her candid remarks about media coverage. Following the U.S. women’s basketball team’s gold medal victory in Paris, Reese expressed frustration over the media’s immediate focus on future Olympic prospects.
After spotting an ESPN article discussing potential candidates for the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games, Reese took to social media to voice her opinion. She emphasized the importance of celebrating the current team’s achievements rather than shifting attention to future events. Reese wrote on X, “Let’s just congratulate these women & let them enjoy this moment! Leave me out of this until my time comes!”Reese’s statement reflects her desire to honor the hard work and dedication of the athletes who just secured a historic win. She is focused on her own journey and aspirations, which include earning a spot on the Olympic team in the future.

In a recent interview, Reese shared her ambition to be an Olympian by 2028. Her pride in representing the United States is evident as she looks forward to the possibility of wearing the Olympic jersey.

With an already impressive rookie season in the WNBA, Reese’s dreams of Olympic glory seem attainable. She earned a spot on the league’s All-Star roster and played a pivotal role in Team WNBA’s victory against USA Basketball during the All-Star weekend.


As Reese continues to develop her skills and make her mark in professional basketball, fans and supporters eagerly await her journey toward the Olympics. Her commitment to the sport and respect for her fellow athletes set a powerful example for aspiring players everywhere.
