Angel Reese receives ‘energy’ praise from LeBron James’ ex-teammate ahead of 2026 WNBA Finals
Angel Reese has been one of the star performers for the Atlanta Dream during their postseason run to the WNBA Finals. The Dream swept the Washington Mystics in the first round before playing the New York Liberty in the semi-finals.
Isaiah Thomas, a former teammate of LeBron James with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, has praised Angel Reese ahead of the 2026 WNBA Finals. Thomas, speaking on his social media platform, highlighted Reese's ability to face any challenge. "Angel Reese really sitting down and accepting any challenge…. Her energy is what makes the Dream win," Thomas wrote.
Despite being the eighth seed, the New York Liberty, with experienced players like Breanna Stewart, managed to beat the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx in the first round. Reese, however, was instrumental in the Dream's sweep of the Liberty, contributing with 22 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in their final meeting. The Atlanta Dream will now face Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA Finals, following their victory over the Las Vegas Aces.
