Angel Reese , Chicago Sky star, recently took a trip down memory lane after a video of her dancing in the LSU Tigers’ locker room was posted by Washington Mystics’ Didi Richards. Richards originally shared the video where she is also present, shaking a leg at LSU, and Reese managed to repost it on her account.

Angel Reese played college basketball for the LSU Tigers from 2022 to 2024 and before that was part of the Maryland Terrapins from 2020 to 2022. After her college basketball career, Reese managed to be selected as the seventh overall pick in the very first round of the 2024 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky. Meanwhile, Didi Richards played for the Baylor Bears in the NCAA and was drafted by the New York Liberty.

“awww a cutesyyy throwbackkk” Angel Reese captioned her Instagram story, showing her dancing with Didi Richards at the LSU Tigers’ training facility.

In the upcoming WNBA season, Angel Reese will be aiming to do more for the Chicago Sky after stunning in her rookie year. In her debut year in the WNBA, Reese was named to the WNBA All-Rookie Team and was also a WNBA All-Star.

Reese has been quite busy in the WNBA offseason, playing for the Rose basketball club in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League. In the first season of the unique 3-on-3 tournament co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, Reese and the Rose BC managed to lift the first ever trophy after defeating the Vinyl BC in the final game.

Angel Reese Is Not Going To Space, Despite X Post Saying So

In a now-viral post on X, Angel Reese has been reported to be among the next travelers in Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Spacecraft. According to the post, Angel Reese, actor Tom Cruise, model Kendall Jenner, comedian Druski and NFL player Jameis Winston are among the next batch who will go to space aboard the Blue Origin, after Katy Perry’s group.

However, it looks like the account that shared the post, Daily Noud, is a parody of the news account, Daily Loud, and therefore the news has to be fake. A couple of days back, singer Katy Perry made her first journey into space along with CBS reporter Gayle King and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez.

The all-female space flight was both praised and heavily criticized by social media users, especially after Katy Perry remarked that everyone needs to do this at least once in their lifetime. Perry paid $28 million for her ticket on the spacecraft.
