- NCAA championship- check. WNBA draft- check. Pro-debut- check. What’s next for Angel Reese? Playing in front of the greatest icons in Chicago’s history, Michael Jordan. On Friday, Reese played her first pre-season game in the WNBA after the Chicago Sky selected her 7th overall. Her partnership with Kamilla Cardoso is already receiving hype. However, she has one request from Michael Jordan.
“I want Michael Jordan to come to a game,” Reese shared with WGN News after one of Chicago’s practice sessions. “I’m telling you right now, I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. I’ve never met him. That’s why the first time I want him to come to a game.”
Jordan started his career in Chicago in 1984, won the franchise’s six championships, and put the Windy City on the map. Despite him attending several NBA games, one thing that he has never done is to attend a WNBA game. Shocking, right? There have been no public sighting of him that shows that he attended a WNBA game. With his presence in other sports like NASCAR and golf, he could surely give the WNBA a push with an appearance, right?
Did you know that MJ’s Jordan brand, back in 2021, made history by signing 11 WNBA athletes? “These amazing athletes are defining a lot of things about Jordan Brand and leading a true conversation that’s impacting culture and our communities across the globe,” he said in a statement. Maya Moore, Asia Durr, Satou Sabally, Aerial Powers, Crystal Dangerfield, Dearica Hamby, and Jordin Canada were some of the players who were signed. They became the largest group of Jumpman endorsees in the WNBA.
But coming back to Reese, the athlete further said that more players like Candace Parker, who won her second of three titles with the Sky too, have come through Chi-Town and she felt privileged to be part of that history. And her goal is to continue the legacy of bringing championships to the city.
However, the Chicago natives were extremely disappointed when Reese and Cardoso’s debut game wasn’t broadcast. Considering the fact that Caitlin Clark’s debut with the Indiana Fever was televised, people were surprised that Reese’s game wasn’t. It turns out that Bally Sports of Minnesota had an MLB game scheduled for the same timeslot that Reese’s game was taking place. The league said that had no control over the game not being available on TV for fans.
Angel Reese could bring the championship back to Chicago
Dwyane Wade, another Chicago product, bought a 10% stake in Sky in 2023 with aspirations to be a winning team owner. That confidence has been Sky-high (pun intended) since the team added two NCAA champions, Reese and Cardoso, to the roster. He likened the new additions to the “foundation” of the team.
In that debut game that didn’t air, the NCAA rivals-turned-Sky’s one-two punch showed jaw-dropping chemistry. Reese effortlessly made a pass to Cardoso in the paint for a smooth layup in the second quarter. However, Cardoso’s debut was cut short when she suffered a fall mid-game and had to make an early exit due to her injured shoulder.
Reese continued for a total of 24 minutes, scoring 13 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. However, it wasn’t enough to defeat the more experienced Minnesota Lynx. Sky lost 81-92 in its much-hyped rookie duo’s debut. But Chicago was not disheartened. Along with cheering for its newest stars, Wade too accurately put it that this is “Just the beginning.” Chicago Sky might very well be in its Jordan era with Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso in the mix.

I stand with Angel buddy.
I hope you guys want be to disappointed. Black men have disappointed me with the disrespect spouted to black women. More than likely MJ will more than likely be going to CC game.
Michael attending would help his image with African Americans.and with the WNBA.If you sell products for WNBA,you leverage yourself up by going to some of the games.I’m getting out of touch vibes with Michael Jordan.
MJ is coming ❤
MJ will come,give him time but Angel Reese has to ball out,really kick butt in WNBA for him to see her play.That's racial factor Angel Reese debut game should've been on national TV.But CC first game,on national TV that's insane and double standard
Come on Michael Jordan have a Heart show up and show out ✌️
Yeah. Michael Jordan I'm sure will come to one of your Chicago Sky games Angel. Im also, sure he saw how you treated Caitlin Clark in thst game you played, it was unethical and unprofessional behavior.
Your to much for the streets and Mr Jordan wont be seen with you. Bad juju
If he comes he will because he wants to be there not because someone lured him there. Jordan is all about earning your way so if Angel wants to see him at a game she needs to show up and show out!!!
Suggestion Ms Angel-Ask/Invite any of the men who played on those championships teams or their family members to attend with them and bring documentation that they played? Have a check in phone #, when they attend,the city-the team will be playing in with a photographer to document their visit?
What do you mean she lures him? 😟
You can only respect a request like that. Especially when it’s coming from great admiration and respect of him; from her.
Angel Reese & Kamilla Cardoso & the sky team" need to (Show up & Show out & Ball out) period if want Sir Airness (#23) to see and to check Y'all game out straight like that 💯
Yeah man fi real😅🎉😅🎉😅😅😅❤😅.
I hope he show up
These photos all over the damn place smdh
The Goat should go see the female Goat play
Then tell Michael come to high school games and pee wee leagues games too! Let that man live his life!! Black folks think their own folks owe them something!!
Brand loyalty (Nike/Jumpman) is very important to Mike and he’s been known to shun individuals that support anything but Nike. The fact that Angel wears Reebok (Shaq, Iverson), would make him showing up at a Sky game in her support very surprising if not difficult, no matter how much he appreciates Angels celebrity status, js. Would no doubt, be great for the league though 😊!
Unfortunately Angel , Jordan his entire career he has cared only about his money and money ONLY!!!! I being from Chicago all my life have watched Jordan from his rookie year with the Bulls up until now. I can tell you without question Social, Racial, Economical and humanitarian issue's Michael could give less than a DAMN about!!! Only MONEY gets his ATTENTION!!!!
