Cynthia Cooper says Angel Reese reminds her of herself, praises Sky forward and two other WNBA rising stars

WNBA legend Cynthia Cooper says Angel Reese reminds her of herself—tough, fearless, and locked in despite outside noise. Cooper praised Reese’s focus and credited her work with mentors like Lisa Leslie as she said: “She reminds me of me when I was starting out and I didn't care. Say what you want to say. I'm bringing my A-game tonight. You're gonna have to stop me from getting all these rebounds. Stop talking about how I get the rebounds. Stop me if you can. And I love that attitude of hers and how she's continuing to get better every single game.” For Cooper, Reese represents the next wave of stars ready to carry the league forward.
