Competitive mentality is often not just limited to the basketball court. After experiencing a “foes turned teammates” moment with Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso in the Sky, there is more incoming drama. The ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, meanwhile, is a “friends turned foes” moment in the music industry. However, when asked one of the most popular Chicago Sky rookies — Angel Reese– about choosing one, she quickly turned away. But what is the verdict with the other Chicago players on record?

Talking on the mini mic after their training session, the Windy City team took corners for their favorite artists. However, the former Tiger who knew people would criticize her no matter who she chose, had a plan of action prepared. Telling her choice, she said, “I’m not getting into this controversy. Because I’ll be on Twitter, Shade Room, all that. I ain’t gettin’ that. Nope!” While the Chi-Barbie opted out of this decision, her teammates did have some specific choices.

Looks out Drake is the king of the Sky team as 5 of 6 who did answer went for him. On the other hand, only Brynna Maxwell chose Lamar. She said, “Oh! I don’t really listen to either. But I will say probably Kendrick.” The official Instagram account of the Chicago Sky also added the video. They captioned the post perfectly saying, “Listen…we had to ask…”

Seems like except for a few, most on the roster are going for the ‘Future’ artist. While they may be divided on their music preferences, how are the teammates doing otherwise?

The ‘Sky connection’ is on a roll with Angel Reese

Chicago is turning out to be a great team as per their training week sneak peeks. However, that is not the only point where the stellar coach Teresa Weatherspoon’s players stop. Angel Reese appreciated how insisting her new coach is and that it is exactly what she wanted from the professional league. She also opened up on how her vets don’t treat her like she is the new girl even on their very first day of the training camp. Moreover, the entire team got together to celebrate Kamilla Cardoso’s birthday which turned out to be on their off day.
