Angel Reese recently participated in the WNBA All-Star game, playing in the matchup for the second time in two seasons with the Chicago Sky.

Reese helped lead Team Napheesa Collier to a victory over Team Caitlin Clark.

After the 151-131 win for Team Collier, Reese took to social media, sharing several photos from the prestigious event with the WNBA.

"2X ALL STAR BARBIE," Reese said.

WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who has been vocal about her support for Angel Reese since the Chicago Sky star entered the league, commented on the post.

"All-Star Barbie," Leslie said with two blushing emojis.

Angel Reese has been extremely impressive early in her WNBA career. Reese finished her rookie season averaging 13.1 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, leading the WNBA in rebounds per game.

Throughout her second season with the Chicago Sky, Reese has posted 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Reese leads the Sky in average rebounds and average points per game, seemingly viewed as Chicago's biggest gem in just her second season with the organization.

Angel Reese getting the nod from WNBA legend Lisa Leslie should weigh heavy.

Leslie is one of the greatest players in league history, having finished her career as a two-time NBA champion, two-time WNBA Finals MVP, three-time MVP and eight-time WNBA All-Star.

The former WNBA star played for the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 to 2009, establishing herself as an all-time great in the early days of the leagues development.
