About this episode

The episode discusses Angel Reese's trade to the Atlanta Dream and its implications for her career and the team.

Angel Reese’s offseason trade to the Dream marked a new era for the Bayou Barbie. In this episode, Zena and Sabreena welcome senior writer Brian Hamilton to discuss his piece, “Why Angel Reese is the perfect fit for the ‘Hollywood of the South’ with Atlanta Dream.” The three dive into how Reese's diverse business portfolio, brand beyond basketball, and unapologetic persona align with the city and team’s vision. Can Angel Reese be the next face of the Atlanta Dream franchise? Also, the trio further unpacks the implications of Skylar Diggins’ Instagram stories, Chicago’s history of breeding conflict, and her future with the Sky. Plus: the crew’s thoughts on the twelve All-Star Reserves. Who surprised— and who was snubbed?
