Reese took to social media to use her power of persuasion.
Just like the rest of us, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese witnessed the United States women’s basketball team become victorious over France 67-66 in the gold medal match on Sunday (August 11).
It’s just the latest chapter for America in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Reese then hopped on social media to share her own musings after seeing Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams nearly carry her team to a much needed win.
On X, she proposed that Williams—who started her WNBA career in Chicago—once again become part of Chicago Sky.
“ok now that the game is over, would you like to be apart of the chicago sky again???” Reese asked Williams. “(thought it wouldn’t hurt to try lmaoo).”
Williams—who managed to score 19 points against France—acknowledged the request in a playful and fun manner. “orrrrrr we could just play together for a différent organization,” she said to Reese.
Williams was in Chicago for three seasons after being chosen by the Sky with the fourth pick in the 2018 WNBA draft. She ultimately made her way to the Los Angeles Sparks in May 2021.
However, right before the deal Williams was put on full-season suspension by the Sky because the head coach at the time—GM James Wade—stated that she did not make the team a “priority.”
Williams wound up missing the entire 2021 campaign due to the suspension.
In February 2022, Williams was traded to the Seattle Storm. Between 2022 and 2023, she played in 46 career games with the Storm.
In a subsequent reply to Reese, she admitted that her history with Chicago Sky with a complex one.
“[Chicago Sky] did me dirty girl but i am still you’re biggest fan,” Williams stated to Reese.
That didn’t deter Reese from stating her case by replying “them folks not here nomore but ok ok i get it thank you sistergirl! see you soon!”
It’s clear that love still runs deep between the pair.
