If there was one person who won all hearts with her exemplary performance in the Olympic gold medal game – it was Gabby Williams.
In a contest that had neck-to-neck competition, Williams brought back the French time and again into the game.
Seeing her performances, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese asked her if she would like to join the Chicago Sky.
But Williams’s answer was sturdy since she had had her share of experiences while playing for the Sky from 2018-2021.
Taking a look at their conversation on X, WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes has come to the fore to share her take.
Swoopes was present during the Queens of the Court podcast on Tuesday when she expressed her views on the entire Williams-Reese saga.
And fans were excited to know how highly Swoopes thinks of Williams.
“I knew we’d get to Gabby later ’cause…. Yeah! I saw Dearica Hamby, Angel Reese reaching out like, ‘Gabby, wanna come back to Chicago? Dearica was like no but I asked first. Without question Gabby Williams needs to be in the league, she needs to go play somewhere. She’s beautiful to watch,” Swoopes stated via The Queens of the Court podcast.

Williams who was known for supporting the team in her limited capacity with rebounds and offensive scoring was unfortunately placed on the suspension list by the Sky.
The then-Chicago Sky head coach James Wade argued that Williams didn’t consider the WNBA franchise as a “priority”, which led him to take the drastic step as per The Mirror.
She then played for the Los Angeles Sparks in 2022 and 2023 season. However post that she hasn’t been able to represent the Dearica Hamby-led team during the current WNBA season due to the league prioritization rule, which demands that unsigned free agents should finish their off-season activities and join the training camp.
Williams, who had already decided to play for the French national team, let the opportunity to play in the WNBA slip but has confirmed that she will be back next season. Meanwhile, Reese had written a tweet on X to lure Williams.
Angel Reese tries her best to get Gabby Williams
Observing Williams’s performance for the French team, helping them make comebacks in the game with her brilliant 19 points and 7 rebounds, Reese took to X to ask Williams if she would like to represent the Sky once again. “ok now that the game is over, would you like to be apart of the chicago sky again??? @gabbywilliams15 😭🤔 (thought it wouldn’t hurt to try lmaoo),” Reese tweeted on Sunday. To which Williams responded “orrrrrr we could just play together for a différent organization 👀🤷🏽♀️😂,” hinting at her discomfort in joining her former team.
Williams also expounded “they did me dirty girl 😫 but i am still you’re biggest fan,” and Reese replied “them folks not here nomore but ok ok i get it😭🥲 thank you sistergirl! see you soon! 😉” referring that Teresa Weatherspoon had taken over as the head coach for the team and the environment was different.
Hopefully, for Reese and Williams fans, she will definitely make a comeback to the WNBA in 2025.
Till then, Team USA fans can remember her as the girl who nearly snatched the Olympics gold and could have restricted the USA from winning their eighth consecutive medal.
