You know, when someone does something so good at something, does it for a long time at a high level, there’s a chance we’ll be all ears with whatever they say about it. Well, Candace Parker dropped a jaw-dropping compliment about Angel Reese that had every Sky fan doing a double-take. During Chicago’s recent game, Parker—back in town for her jersey retirement—watched Reese go off and calmly said,
“I think it’s endless, honestly. You look at her body, you look at her ability to get up and down the floor. I don’t think it’s just on the offensive end. I think it’s on the defensive end as well.”
Angel Reese just shrugged before ticking another box in her record-chasing campaign. Monday night’s double-double gave her her 46th in just two seasons—outrunning Tina Charles and setting a new WNBA milestone.
Fans on Reddit broke it down beautifully: “That’s her former boss showing love—Parker’s words mean more than any stat.” On social, many noted the tone shift from Parker—who once had Reese on her “C-tier” list—to now calling her ceiling limitless. The sudden flip even sparked memes about Reese schooling the legend.
Reese continues to push boundaries—just six games off her Sky career high in rebounds, she averaged double-doubles twice in a row, reminding everyone she’s not just a stat machine but their most reliable engine, often in her team’s darkest stretch.
Whether Angie’s doing it on both ends of the floor or absorbing media storylines, Angel Reese keeps rewriting what’s possible for a 23-year-old in the WNBA.
Angel Reese Drops Another Double-Double Despite Sky Loss
On a tough night for the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese still delivered. She put up 10 points and grabbed 17 rebounds for her 20th double-double of the season, leading the league once again.
Her effort came despite missing time earlier in the year due to a back injury, making this streak even more impressive. Reese has recorded double-doubles in most of her appearances since returning, averaging 14.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals over her last four games.
Fans quickly pointed out how Angel Reese has quietly become the team’s backbone. One comment read, “Even when the game slips away, she doesn’t disappear.”
In a season where the Sky hit the skids, her steady performance earned respect from past legends—and shows that Angel Reese is becoming Chicago’s defining star, one rebound at a time.
