Rookie of the Year hopeful Angel Reese had fans going on and on about her pregame arrival, given what she was wearing when she pulled up to the Chicago Sky’s fixture against the Indiana Fever on Friday.
The teams played out what was likely the most highly-anticipated game since the Olympic break, and Reese was dressed for the occasion.
The former LSU star, drafted No. 7 overall earlier this year, came in wearing a Dennis Rodman Detroit Pistons jersey, which she wore with the name on the front, as well as denim jeans and Timberland boots.
Rodman, a basketball icon, is royalty in Chicago. The former forward is also one of the best rebounders in NBA history, so the representation made plenty of sense as Reese has drawn plenty of comparisons to The Worm.
Of course, Sky fans would have preferred it if she had worn a Rodman Bulls jersey instead.
