WNBA rookie Angel Reese played the mental game with her younger brother as she challenged him to dunk every chance he got. The Chicago Sky forward said her brother doesn’t like dunking on people, so she challenged him to do so with a promise of $100 every time he successfully managed it.

“I was watching him on my phone, I said, ‘Oh my God,'” Reese said. “Because one thing, he doesn’t like to dunk on people. If I could dunk, I’d dunk on everyone. I’m telling him, ‘You should dunk on everybody.’ I tell him, ‘Every game that you dunk on somebody, I’ll give you $100.'”

Michael, a 6-foot-8 forward, played for Boston University at the start of his college career before transferring to Loyola Maryland University.

Reese didn’t reveal how much she gave her brother but said she saw the promise he showed.

“I think he has so much more to bring not only to the team but to his game. And if nobody saw potential in him, I saw potential in him, my mom saw potential in him. So, seeing him grow to where he is right now is just amazing.”

Michael has played in Luxembourg, Cyprus, Austria and Portugal as a professional basketball player.

Stephen A. Smith picks Angel Reese for ROTY

WNBA’s Rookie of the Year race has been tight with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark doing incredible things on the court.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith gave his take on who deserves to win ROTY.

“Angel Reese … she may be Rookie of the Year. She’s special! And let me tell you this right now: I don’t care what anybody says, ’cause she can play. She’s no scrub, she’s a walking double-double,” Smith said.

Reese made history with 15 consecutive double-doubles. She has played 24 games and has averaged 13.5 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists. There are still a few games in the season for Clark to boost her already strong case.
