Chicago Sky rookie forward Angel Reese had an unforgettable interaction with a young fan ahead of their road game against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, June 2, at The Gateway Center Arena @ College Park.
A young girl approached the 6-foot-3 player during her pregame media availability and asked her, "What motivates you?"
Reese made sure to give an enthusiastic and detailed answer to the kid, who was all smiles.
"Girls like you. Little girls that look up to me. Being able to wake up every day and know that little eyes are watching me. I hope one day that you can do what I'm doing," the 22-year-old said.
