Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese named ‘Sportswoman of the Year’ at BET Awards

Rookie star tops list of athletic titans to claim BET honor

Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky has soared above the rest of her peers tonight, clinching the BET’s Sportswoman of the Year award. In an arena packed with athletic giants, Reese’s victory isn’t just a testament to her prowess but a resounding statement of her arrival.

The contenders for this prestigious award read like a who’s who of women’s sports royalty. Among them were basketball dynamo A’ja Wilson, tennis prodigy Coco Gauff, rising rap star and hoopster Flau’jae Johnson, high school sensation JuJu Watkins, tennis ace Naomi Osaka, sprint queen Sha’Carri Richardson, and gymnastics legend Simone Biles. It’s a roll call of excellence, and yet, it was Reese who emerged victorious.

The BET’s description of the award couldn’t be more fitting: it celebrates the “best and most successful female athlete of the previous year.” And Reese, selected seventh overall in the 2024 WNBA draft, has been nothing short of spectacular in her rookie season. She’s been averaging 13.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, turning heads and dropping jaws across the league.

Reese’s journey to the WNBA was paved with glittering stats and memorable moments at LSU, where she averaged a whopping 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds per game in her final season. But it’s not just her on-court heroics that have captured the public’s imagination. Off the hardwood, Reese is a social media sensation, with over 535k followers on X and more than 3 million on Instagram. Her influence extends far beyond the court, making her one of the most talked-about athletes in recent times.

And if her BET award wasn’t enough, Reese marked the occasion bysetting a WNBA record for the most consecutive double-doubles in a rookie season, surpassing the legendary Candace Parker with ten straight. On a day when the stars aligned, the 22-year-old phenom not only etched her name in the history books but also in the hearts of fans everywhere.
