Angel Reese Wants Spotlight Back On Current Team USA As Media Eyes 2028 Squad
Angel Reese slammed the media for focusing on the next Olympic squad right after the U.S. Women’s Basketball team won gold in Paris.
The critique came after the WNBA rookie spotted an ESPN article on prospects for Los Angeles’ 2028 summer games. Considering the piece dropped the same day as Team USA’s historic win, Reese quickly shut down any conversation on X.
Let’s just congratulate these women & let them enjoy this moment! Leave me out of this until my time comes! https://t.co/tMK1jr9tdZ— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) August 11, 2024
“Let’s just congratulate these women & let them enjoy this moment,” expressed the Chicago Sky star. “Leave me out of this until my time comes!”
Though Reese would rather her name be kept out of the media’s mouth until she’s on the international court, she does want to earn her own Olympic gold medal one day. She recently shared her ambitions in a pre-game chat with reporters.
“I want to be an Olympian by 2028,” revealed Reese in July, as reported by Sports Illustrated. “I think I have time to just be able to continue to grow.”
She added, “I take pride in everything—being able to be from the United States and being able to wear those three letters across your chest. So that’s something that I do have as one of my goals, to be an Olympian and being able to play with a special class and great players like the women that are playing right now.”
Reese’s dream could definitely come to fruition, given her already impressive WNBA rookie season. In her first year alone, she earned a spot on the league’s All-Star roster. She helped secure a win for Team WNBA against USA Basketball during the All-Star weekend in July.
