Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had just one word for her teammate Kamilla Cardoso on Monday and fans instantly knew what she meant.
After a hard-fought weekend of back-to-back wins, Cardoso took to Instagram to show off her off-court style. Cardoso posted a photo of herself wearing a white T-shirt with a red heart and “NY” logo, a black mini skirt, a red New York Yankees cap and white Air Jordan sneakers with red accents. She also carried a beige Louis Vuitton handbag.
Reese saw the post and replied with one word: “teaaaa.”
Fans also poured in with their own reactions, calling Cardoso “Always Gorgeous,” “obsessed” and “a beautiful baller with some fire red 4’s.”
Cardoso recently scored a career-high 23 points in a big win over the Dallas Wings. Though she played limited minutes in the following game due to foul trouble, Reese and others stepped up.
In Saturday’s 94–83 victory against the Wings, Reese finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and three steals. The Sky improved to 2–4 with the back-to-back wins.
Head coach Tyler Marsh praised Reese after the game, especially for her versatility.
“She’s extremely versatile,” Marsh said. “She played some at the five last game, some at the four, she’s initiating offense, pushing in transition — she’s doing a bit of everything.”
Off the court, Reese is becoming a fashion icon. Over the weekend, she shared photos of herself in a grey Prada suit and shiny black shoes, complete with a ponytail and matching handbag. Cardoso dropped a string of heart-eye emojis in support.
The Sky are now preparing for a rematch against the Indiana Fever on June 7 in the Commissioner’s Cup. In their season opener, Chicago lost to the Fever 93–58. But this time, they’ll have momentum and a growing connection between Reese and Cardoso that goes far beyond one word.
