Former LSU Tiger and current Chicago Sky rookie has impressed everyone in her first WNBA season. 

Not only is the “Chi Barbie” leading the entire league in rebounds, but her 11 straight double-doubles have made WNBA history.

One person who doesn’t seem surprised by Reese’s success is Kim Mulkey.

Reese’s former LSU coach took to X on Tuesday night to share a message about Reese’s recent accomplishments.

“11th straight double-double @WNBA Rookie of the Year”, Mulkey wrote.

Fans are expressing their excitement about Mulkey showing her former player love.

“Mommy, @KimMulkey, I think we have to get an Angel Reese statue at LSU. She’s representing LSU out there and putting LSU on the map,” one fan wrote in a reply.

“Congratulations to you too coach! You came into Angel’s life at the right time, instilled discipline and pulled out her gifts and talents,” said another.

The relationship between Reese and Mulkey has clearly continued, despite Reese no longer being in Baton Rouge.
