Angel Reese draws strong message from Team USA coach

Team USA HC Kara Lawson speaks highly of Dream star Angel Reese

Lawson had nothing but praise for Reese as a player and a person. She highlighted her work ethic and how easy it was to coach the 24-year-old.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever enjoyed coaching a player more,” Lawson said. “I think it’s kind of hard to describe for people because she’s one of those people who, I didn’t have any exposure to her before December. But then again, because of her fame and her personality, you have no exposure, but you have a lot of exposure in terms of you know who she is. And obviously, people like to have opinions about a lot of the players in the league, and she’s one of them… So I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with her coaching her.

“If you talk to like former players, they really respect her and like her. I think it’s because we see the type of quality teammate she is the type of competitor that she is and that she would be someone that you could count on in big situations.”

Reese and the Dream are leading 2-1 in the finals and will host Game 4 at State Farm Arena. They have dominated the last two outings on both ends of the floor and are showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. It won’t be surprising to see her lift the Finals MVP trophy if Atlanta goes all the way.
