Michael Jordan (L) is Angel Reese’s new favorite in spite of Shaquille O’Neal.

Angel Reese, the promising rookie forward for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, has set her sights on a special guest for her upcoming games. Despite receiving high praise from NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who called her possibly the best athlete ever from LSU, Reese has her heart set on another basketball icon: Michael Jordan.

In a recent interview with WGN, Reese expressed her desire to have His Air Majesty attend one of her games at Wintrust Arena. “I want Michael Jordan to come to a game,” she declared. “I’ve never met him. That’s the only person I really want to come to a game.”
