    Angel Reese has a signature shoe line in the works with Reebok, the WNBA rookie confirmed before her All-Star Game debut on Saturday night.

    During her media availability in Phoenix, Reese was asked about her partnership with the sports apparel brand and Reebok President of Basketball Shaquille O'Neal.

    "We have a lot of great things in the works," Rees said.

    The Chicago Sky rookie gave a simple response when asked if a signature shoe is on the horizon.

    "For sure. For sure," Reese replied.

    O'Neal reposted this interview moment on his Instagram story Saturday night.

    O'Neal has been a strong mentor for Reese dating back to her collegiate days with the LSU Tigers. Shaq's support for his fellow former LSU athlete has extended into her impressive rookie campaign at the WNBA level.

    "I know she remembers people saying, 'Oh, the way you play at LSU is not going to translate to this game,' and I know she took that to heart. I'm so happy for her and for our team. Not just because she's with LSU, but I think she's definitely leading in the Rookie of the Year race," O'Neal said on ESPN's SportsCenter earlier this week.

    Reese recorded 12 points and 11 rebounds in Team WNBA's win over Team USA — becoming the first rookie in league history to notch an All-Star Game double-double.
