Soccer once again appreciated the charismatic influence of basketball. The close association between the athletes of the two sports continues after former soccer legend Carli Lloyd recently lauded the NCAA sensation, Caitlin Clark. This time it is the turn of another legend Megan Rapinoe who took the opportunity to hail NSU star Angel Reese’s WNBA draft entry. The former World Cup winner may have called quits on her career but keeps her connection with the WNBA intact.

It is not the first time Megan Rapinoe backed lady basketball players. Rapinoe continues her support to WNBA players reposting Vogue’s Instagram post that announced Reese’s signing. Rapinoe, adding it to her story, also captioned it, “Dropping this news in Vogue is so boss, I love this,” expressing her ecstasy of Reese’s iconic collaboration with Vogue.

Vogue being one of the top fashion and news magazines around the globe has collaborated with iconic athletes including NBA ace Lebron James and others like Serena Williams, Michael Phelps, etc. Now even the 21-year-old from WSU announced herself into the WNBA draft with a photo shoot with the magazine stating, “My ultimate goal is to be a pro—and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I’m ready.” Angel Reese also expressed satisfaction with all her incredible achievements in college basketball.

Reese also stated, “I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” “I’ve won a national championship, I’ve gotten SEC Player of the Year, I’ve been an All-American.” The NCAA’s Most Outstanding Player in 2023 has been one of the best-performing players in college tournaments for the last few years. She won multiple accolades including an entry into the All-American first-team. Nevertheless, the whole of the NCAA has caught the attention of former USWNT star Rapinoe with its amazing achievements.

After going through the milestones Megan earlier took to her Instagram story stating, “Dear Women’s Basketball, I, personally, am not shocked. And STILL, this is the most (incredible thing) to see,” further citing women’s basketball to be highly worthy.
