The disproportionate salaries of men’s and women’s NBA players in no secret. However, in recent times the gap has begun to close. The 2023 NCAA women’s championship-winning team LSU Lady Tiger’s star player Angel Reese is paving the path there. The 21-year-old faced a lot of heat for a gesture made during the championship final’s game but has been the face of women’s basketball since. 

Reese has also bagged a huge amount in her NIL deal and the cash flow does not stop there. Another major American company has recently signed the rising superstar.

Angel Reese already created a storm in the world of WNBA when she bagged a $1.3 million NIL deal. The NIL deals help college athletes receive compensation for the use of their ‘name, image and likeness’. For a long time, NCAA did not provide financial compensation to their athletes, but NIL changed that.

Now Reese’s NIL valuation has reached $1.4 million after making her sports modeling debut.
