Angel Reese avoids question on last year's bold statement about her role in growing WNBA

Chicago Sky star Angel Reese refused to answer a question about a bold statement she made about growing women's basketball last year.

Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was uninterested in answering a question about a bold statement she made when it came to growing the WNBA.

Reese made it clear last June that she believed it was not just "one person" who changed the game of women’s basketball and that historians will look back on the moment in 2024 and prove her right.

"It’s because of me too," Reese said.

On Tuesday, Reese was about to be asked whether she still felt like that when she interjected.

"Next question," she said, via FOX 32 Chicago.

A Sky official off to the side also chimed in to move on from the question.

The question of who made a bigger impact on the popularity of the WNBA will keep lingering. For what it is worth, the Indiana Fever have dozens of games on national TV this season – more than the defending champion New York Liberty.

Reese is entering her second season in the WNBA with all eyes on how she will fare in 2025 with a new head coach and a couple of new teammates around her.
