When it comes to choosing the best NBA player of recent times, many people lean towards LeBron James of the Lakers or Stephen Curry. However, for Angel Reese, one of the current stars of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wnba">WNBA</a> and a player for the Chicago Sky, she preferred to go with another player.



In a new episode of her podcast Unapologetically Angel, the former LSU player made her stance clear and declared: “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">KD</a> has been my favorite player since I was a kid and is still my favorite player. He’s from the DMV, I love his mom, she comes out and supports the game.”



Contrary to what many might have expected, with the Chicago Sky star leaning towards either The King or The Chef, Reese expressed her admiration for the Kevin Durant, with whom she was even romantically linked—something Reese herself has denied: “That was never a thing,” Reese said. “I don’t even know how that even became a thing because I sat next to somebody. My friend was sitting next to Steph [Curry]. I don’t even get that. I don’t even know where that came from.”



Angel Reese’s show is featured on NBA legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shaquille-oneal">Shaquille O’Neal</a>’s ‘The Big Podcast Network,’ which is part of Playmaker HQ. This addition makes Reese the latest prominent figure to join O’Neal’s network, alongside other notable shows such as Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s ‘The Roommates Show’ and ‘The OGs’ with Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller.

<h2>Angel Reese makes big confession about Chennedy Carter</h2>



After a long streak of consecutive losses in the WNBA, the Chicago Sky needed to end their negative run, and they faced none other than the Los Angeles Sparks.

Regarding Chennedy Carter’s significant return to the court, it was none other than the former LSU star who shared her feelings about it: “Being able to have [Chennedy’s] contagious energy in the locker room [was key]. It’s not just her on-the-court performance, but her contagious energy in the locker room.”



“She always has energy, doing crazy stuff, backflips, whatever. So just being able to have her back healthy was the most important thing. I’m just happy to have her back, and I know she’s happy,” Reese finally stated.
