Angel Reese just signed with Reebok!
The Louisiana State University All-American basketball player just announced her endorsement deal with the major shoe and athletic apparel company.
“Reebok x Angel Reese – We’re proud to announce a new partnership with college hoops star @angelreese10 🏀,” Reebook and Reese shared in a joint Instagram post.
In an interview shared on the company’s website, Reese said former LSU and NBA player Shaquille O’Neal, who recently became Reebok’s president of basketball, helped make the deal happen.
“Now that he’s just been announced as their President of Basketball, that is inspirational to me, just being able to see an athlete or former athlete shift from not just being an athlete, but being the president of the brand is something that’s important,” Reese said. “I would love to do that one day.”
Reese continued to explain what having Shaq back this partnership means to her.
“It feels great, Shaq is so much fun!” she explained. “I love him, and he’s been super supportive to me and everything I’ve done. Even if I didn’t work with Reebok he’d still support me, and our relationship has always been amazing. Everything is just so much fun, and what player wouldn’t want feedback from one of the best bigs of all time!?”
The feeling is mutual because, according to ESPN, O’Neal said, “There is no one making a bigger impact on the game right now than Angel Reese.”
The deal between Reese and Reebok makes the LSU baller the brand’s first major NIL signee.
