Angel Reese had an incredible season on the court with the LSU women’s basketball team. She was one of the key pieces in the Tigers national championship run in March, and since then her popularity off the court has continued to grow.
After posting an NCAA-record 34 double-doubles over the course of the season, including a 15-point, 10-rebound performance in the national title game, Reese was named the Most Outstanding Player of 2023 women’s tournament.
Earlier this year, Reese made her SI Swimsuit debut, was parodied in a Saturday Night Live skit and landed several NIL deals.
