Angel Reese celebrated her 22nd birthday on May 6th, garnering the social media spotlight in her recognition.

Many fans sent birthday wishes to the WNBA rookie, but she had some major wishes of her own. 

Reese spoke on the opportunity to be at the Met Gala, explaining that it was one of her lifelong dreams to take part in this scene of the fashion world.

She seemed ecstatic about her birthday and the blessings she was able to earn.

She’s already a star on the court.

Reese has only played in one game, in the preseason, but she recorded 13 points and nine rebounds in her debut.

She’s a star on and off the court.

As fandom rises in women’s basketball and sports as a whole, Reese’s stardom will only grow.

She was able to check a major box of her lifelong dreams and that will continue this week as she makes her WNBA regular season debut.

“Wow! God is so good! Being able to play the game I love & live my dream in the fashion world all on my 22nd birthday is a blessing,” said Reese, via X.
