    Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese recently had her double-double streak come to an end, but not before she shattered the record for most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history with 15. The former LSU Tigers star passed the previous record of 12 straight games held by WNBA and Los Angeles Sparks legend Candace Parker.

    Reese has shown consistency this year, not just in scoring but in grabbing boards as well. She leads the league in rebounding with 12 per contest, topping former WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson by 0.1 rebounds per game.

    Before Chicago's matchup with the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night, Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon compared the 'relentless' Reese to an NBA top 75 player.

    "She's relentless, just like [Dennis Rodman] is on the glass, but Angel is Angel. And she's creating her own name," Weatherspoon said.

    Rodman, also known as 'The Worm,' was known for his tenacious defense and aggressive rebounding during his NBA career. He won five NBA titles, two with the Detroit Pistons and three with the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Rodman was also a seven-time NBA rebounding champion.
