    NBA Legend Isiah Thomas Has Four-Word Take on Angel Reese's Historic Performance

    Angel Reese turned in another eye-popping performance on Sunday after dropping a massive 11-point, 22-rebound double-double. Unfortunately, the Chicago Sky were unable to secure a win on Reese's big night, as they fell to the Aces, 77-75.

    It was a hard-fought battle between the two teams, with the game requiring an incredible A'ja Wilson buzzer-beater to produce a winner.

    Despite the loss, however, Reese was still able to turn heads after making history yet again. This time around, the 22-year-old became the first player in WNBA history to log three consecutive 20+ rebound games. This is after the Sky rookie collected 20 rebounds on August 18 against the Phoenix Mercury, followed by another 20 boards on Friday against the Connecticut Sun.

    Over the last three contests, Reese has amassed 62 rebounds. Amazingly, the former LSU superstar is averaging 20.7 boards per game during that span.

    Reese's outstanding effort did not go unnoticed. In fact, NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas had to give the Sky forward her flowers after her latest feat. Thomas, a two-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons, needed just four words to make his thoughts on Reese extremely clear.

    "Let it be known," said the 12-time NBA All-Star on X, formerly Twitter.

    Thomas knows greatness when he sees it, and it is clear that he's a big fan of Angel Reese.

    The downside of all this for Reese and the Sky, however, is that despite the monstrous numbers she's been putting up of late, Chicago has been losing. The Sky have suffered defeat in three straight games now, and knowing Reese, she'd be happy to trade this latest record for a much-needed W.
