Angel Reese is living her dream in 2025. Her most recent achievement? Becoming the first professional athlete to walk as a Victoria’s Secret Angel – a groundbreaking moment that earned praise from colleagues, including a teammate of her longtime rival, Caitlin Clark.
Despite the Chicago Sky’s struggles this season – finishing second-to-last with a 10-34 record – Reese continues to shine. The star forward has been named to the WNBA All-Star Game in both of her seasons and led the league in rebounds last year, averaging 12.6 per game.
But Reese’s success isn’t limited to the court. She’s launched her own shoe line with Reebok, appeared on billboards, and now, strutted down the runway as a Victoria’s Secret Angel – accomplishments that haven’t gone unnoticed.
Support from an unexpected source
Reese’s runway debut sparked buzz across the basketball world. Current players like Paige Bueckers and legends like Lisa Leslie congratulated her on the new addition to her résumé.
But what caught fans off guard was a message from one of Caitlin Clark’s own teammates. “She killed it!!! YESSS!!!!” wrote Odissey Sims, sharing a video of Reese’s runway moment on her Instagram Stories.
Sims has shown consistent support for Reese. When the Sky forward first announced her runway debut, the 12-season veteran commented, “You’re different, sis!!!” – and she wasn’t the only Fever player to speak up.
Which other Fever players “betrayed” Caitlin?
Shortly after Reese’s debut, Sydney Colson also chimed in on social media. “And looked so good doing iiittt!!!” she posted on X (formerly Twitter), tagging Reese.
These reactions show that while rivalries may run deep on the court – especially between the Fever and the Sky, fueled by the Reese-Clark dynamic – respect and admiration off the court remain strong.
