'I can do all things through Christ' – Angel Reese gives fitting reply to haters after backlash for Met Gala appearance on birthday
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Angel Reese graced the carpet of the Met Gala on her 22nd birthday by showing off her fashion skills with a stunning mint-green dress. Many questioned her choice of attending the event hours before her second preseason game for the Chicago Sky. However, receiving criticism and turning it around with a dominating performance is something Reese has done multiple times.

Her preseason game was not going to be any different. Chicago defeated the New York Liberty with a whopping 48 points. Angel Reese proved to the haters that her game and performance would not be affected by her off-court activities and that she could do it all. Reese took to X to give an apt response to the critics.

So now yall can delete them drafts & tweets saying I shouldn’t have gone to the met gala & I can’t do both. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! Angel Reese via X

The rookie played well against the experienced roster of Liberty, scoring 13 points, five rebounds, and a couple of steals. Reese has only played two games for the Chicago Sky but is already meeting the expectations. The 22-year-old is performing on the same level as she did in college.

Reese was selected as the 7th overall pick in the exceptional class of 2024. The star’s popularity is only rising, making her one of the fan favorites early in her professional career. The rookie is receiving love from not just the fans but also her teammates.

Angel Reese is taking advantage of her Beats deal to treat her teammates

Angel Reese made headlines back in January with Beats sponsorship as she gifted her LSU teammates and coaches purple-gold-themed headphones. Now, with her new teammates, the star will replicate her gesture by gifting headphones from her new campaign.

While talking to the reporters ahead of the game with the Liberty, Reese sang high praise of her teammates for their support. The forward is taking complete advantage of her position so her teammates can get whatever they want.

They were talking to me about my whole Beats thing and Bri [Briana Turner] had commented, 'I want a pair,' so I'mma get the whole team a pair of Beats too... Being able to have the impact that I do have, I can get the team whatever they want. Wherever they want to go, we're going. Angel Reese via media interview

Reese’s impact is truly unreal as the player has signed multiple deals with brands long before getting drafted and playing her first professional regular season game. The star will certainly reach more heights as she goes ahead in her career.
