“After I won the national championship, all my life changed, and it was the first time I had seen negativity like the one on social media. I thought I had a big afterwards before, but it was skyrocketing to millions. It was bigger than basketball when they found my address, my car. I had to change my entire lifestyle.
“It doesn’t bother me that much anymore just because I want to have built a thicker skin, but not everyone has a thick skin. And that’s why I think players always come up to me and ask me, ‘Are you doing well? How are you?’ I don’t really know what’s real but I’m starting to open up and branch out a little.
Reeses 2023 National Championship Games were highlighted by her incident with Caitlin Clark. It started the rivalry on the court between the two women’s basketball stars.
Reese said she has come closer to All-Stars on her team this year, more than in 2024, when it was the WNBA team that went up against the American Olympic team before Paris Games.

“This is the closest I have been to these players this year. Last year I wasn’t that close. When I was in Phoenix (the host of 2024 All-Star Game), I was very quiet,” she explained. “I didn’t talk to anyone. And that’s what I really love about this league that could have sisters.
“I don’t have any sisters. Being able to have sisters here who really are really interested in me and to know that I can take it and transform it into society. There is a lot of cyber bullying that is going on. Not everyone is as strong as I am and I was like, ‘why not turn a negative into a positive and give back? I try to give back as much as I can.
