Throughout the 2026 WNBA season, Angel Reese is wearing her “Double-Double Queen” nickname as a badge of honor. After breaking a WNBA record with her 29th double-double of the season, the three-time All-Star shared a three-word message with her fans, as well as her haters.
With a career-high 16.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 38 games, Reese is averaging a double-double for the third straight season. She is controlling the glass and providing the Atlanta Dream a much-needed and dependable presence around the basket. Before joining the USA Women’s basketball team for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, Bayou Barbie recorded her most recent double-double against the league-leading Minnesota Lynx.
On August 30, 2026, Reese kept up her impressive play for Atlanta. The team tied the Indiana Fever for fourth place in the WNBA rankings after defeating Minnesota 89-81 thanks to her historic effort.
Reese finished with two steals, two assists, 11 rebounds, and 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Furthermore, she broke the record set by Alyssa Thomas with her 29th double-double of the season, setting a WNBA record that no player had previously held.
At 5:40 in the fourth quarter, Reese reached a new WNBA single-season double-doubles record with 13 points and 10 rebounds. When Thomas played for the Connecticut Sun in 2023 during a 40-game regular season, she set the previous record with 28 double-doubles.
The Dream took to X (formerly Twitter) to write, “NO ONE HAS EVER DONE IT MORE. Angel Reese now stands alone with the most double-doubles (29) in a single season in WNBA history. Another all-time WNBA record. Another piece of history rewritten by Angel Reese.”
Atlanta also posted on Instagram to celebrate Reese’s accomplishment. The 24-year-old Dream forward reshared the post via her Instagram Stories, adding a three-word message.
Reese wrote, “BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS 🙏🏾.”
Reese’s message came after she set off an online firestorm with her “I be setting NBA records too,” which earned her nicknames of “delusional” and “unlikable.”
The six-foot-three forward also spoke to the press before the Sunday game, addressing the milestones and records she is still setting.
Reese said, “I dream so big, and I think there’s no dream that is so big. So many people write me off. So many people have doubted me. Coming into the league and being the seventh pick, nobody thought I was gonna be able to be in this position, but I knew. And the people in my circle knew.”
“I was supposed to be in this moment, and it was destined for me. So, it really doesn’t surprise me. I’m just really grateful, and I’m thankful. I don’t take any moment for granted at all, because this is an opportunity of a lifetime, and a lot of people really, really wish they could be here. So, I’m really grateful, and I’m really excited. So every milestone, every record is just destined to knowing (sic) who I am,” the Atlanta star added.
Reese has spent the 2026 WNBA season rewriting the record books, and now, following her most recent amazing feat, Reebok is ensuring that her skill is not overlooked. Her longtime sneaker partner toasted a trio of milestones that cemented her 2026 campaign in league history.
“Again and Again,” Reebok wrote above an image of Reese and her litany of recent records, with the phrase, “Anything that goes up is mine.”

The Dream star also reshared the aforementioned Instagram post to her Stories.
The Reebok post reflects Reese’s tremendous season, breaking numerous records and showing her enormous rebounding skills. The most recent example of her achievements was Sunday’s double-double against Minnesota.
The Dream have benefited significantly from Reese’s rebounding this season, since her diligence routinely offers the team’s perimeter players second chances following a missed shot. In terms of total rebounds, offensive rebounds (5.1 per game), and double-doubles (29), she leads the league.
