Despite pursuing a future in the WNBA, there’s a reason why Angel Reese enjoys modeling. A troll on X asked Reese an eye-rolling inquiry about her profession after she shared photos of herself in a swimming suit on October 2.
The author wrote: “Do u wanna be a ig model or wnba player pick one at this point,”
Before promoting her Unapologetically Angel podcast, she wrote: “Well no i’ll never pick because my dream job doesn’t pay me enough while my side job pays me 7 figures,”
“Anywayyy… go check out my new episode.”
Given that she receives a lot of attention for her appearance, Reese spoke on her podcast if she takes playing in the WNBA seriously. Reese also talked about balancing her career as a professional athlete with modeling. She said:
“Just because I’m fine, does not mean I don’t take basketball serious,”
“Like this whole gag, let’s give it up.”
“I’m sorry, you gotta talk to my mom,”
“Being fine, I have to—that’s my thing. But I also hoop.”

Reese also talked about balancing her career as a professional athlete with modeling. Reese mentioned in another part of the interview that she made a good amount of money this summer with her Mebounds goods.
