    Angel Reese sent the WNBA world in tears after her heartwarming yet powerful moment with a young fan on Tuesday.

    During her media availability before the Chicago Sky-Atlanta Dream game in the Gateway Center Arena @ College Park, a young girl came up to Reese and asked her, "What motivates you?"

    Amazed by the presence of the fan and appreciative of the question, Reese quickly responded and told the young supporter that "girls like you" fuel her to keep playing.

    "Girls like you. Little girls that look up to me. Being able to wake up every day and know that little eyes are watching me, that one day you can do what I'm doing," Reese shared while her face showed a huge smile, via Meghan L. Hall of For The Win.

    It was such a beautiful moment between Angel Reese and the young girl, so much so that plenty of fans weren't able to hold back their tears. The Sky star has been a huge inspiration to many, especially as she continues to prove her doubters wrong by dominating in the WNBA.

    "I'm crying," a fan commented. Another one said, "Why’d I tear up."

    An emotional supporter added, "Stop. This is why I can’t get on board with the hate for Angel or CC. They both show so much love and appreciation to the young fans they inspire. Maybe it’s the mama of three girls in me but I love them both and how much it means to them to be a role model."

    "Angel Reese is so important. She means so much to so many people and I truly hope she feels the love and appreciation we have for her. She belongs here," a fourth fan said.

    Here are more reactions to Reese's wholesome moment with her young fan:

    Sure enough, the little girl will never forget that moment with Reese. Here's to hoping that the Sky All-Star can keep being an inspiration to many.
