Disappointing Welcome: Angel Reese's Intro to the Chicago Sky | A Missed Opportunity
Angel Reese's arrival at the Chicago Sky was meant to be a momentous occasion, but the reality fell short of expectations. Join us as we dissect the lackluster welcome she received and delve into the broader issues facing the team's infrastructure.
From the humble gym backdrop to the sparse attendance, it's clear the Sky missed the mark on fan engagement and making Angel feel truly valued. We explore the contrast with other teams' grand welcomes and discuss the implications for Chicago's standing in the league.
As the Sky's lease for their current practice facility nears its end, there's hope for improvement on the horizon. But will it be enough to elevate the team's status as a top destination for players?
Join the conversation as we analyze the missed opportunities and reflect on Angel Reese's promising future with the Sky. And to Angel, if you're watching, know that despite the underwhelming start, Sky fans are thrilled to have you on board and rooting for your success.

    Editors note: In the video I incorectly stated that Indiana shares their training court, thats incorrect. The Fever actually have had their own practice facility since 2021, you can take a look at the photos of it here: fever.wnba.com/photos/new-indiana-fever-locker-room/ Also, this video is not an attempt to dunk on the Sky staff, I believe they are doing the best that they can but ownership needs to hire more people so that the staff have the time to allow them to make press conferences and other things higher quality. For those who are calling on people to get fired, that’s not cool and not what I want to see, the staff just needs more resources to work with.

In every sport the top pick usually always a huge welcome. Heck Cameron Brink and Kamila the 2nd and 3rd pick had their press conferences on Zoom. The 7th pick isn’t considered a game changing pick, but more of a role player. Also Almost always teams hold them in their practice facility. It’s just the Sky’s practice facility isn’t the best.

Angel, welcome to the land of "promises, promises". I'm embarrassed for the way that Angel was treated. This was her introduction to the city. There's no excuse for this neglect. How hard would it have been to provide some folks to welcome a game changing player? This was the best that you could do?! A player who will bring in $ to the organization!? Downright shameful. I wish I could say that I'm surprised by this but like I said; I live here. Thanks Quita.

Also 7th pick in the NBA draft is expected to be an all star players whereas in the WNBA it’s a role player. Just look at the All NBA team last year. 6 out of 10 players in the 1st and 2nd team were picked 7th or later. Now compare that to the WNBA where only 1 players out of 10 was picked 7th or later. The Superstars of the NBA range from the 1st pick to a 2nd round pick. Whereas with the WNBA almost all the superstar are players that were picked 1-3. That’s why you can’t compare WNBA draft to NBA draft. It’s like comparing the NBA draft to the NFL draft.

    Why should the WNBA step in on what the teams decide to do for their own press conference? That’s on the team. They did what was standard for picks who aren’t the 1st overall pick. Where is the outrage at Cameron Brink and Kamila had their press conference via Zoom? I didn’t see the outrage for that. Ya want the 7th pick who is looked at as a role player to get the same treatment as the 1st overall pick. Ya need to come to grips with reality. If you guys are going to start watching sports you should know how things work. There’s a reason why Wemby’s press conference was way larger than Jarace Walker.

If you followed sports you would also know that their lease for his facility is up this upcoming year and there is plans to move to a better facility or build one. But to act like the Sky did something that isn’t the norm is just wrong. Yes the practice facility is outdated but they aren’t the only team to have outdated practice facilities. Ya want everyone to have state of the art facilities and that’s the goal but it’s not realistic. Every single team operates differently. Has different owners with different Bankrolls.

    Have you watched introductory press conferences before?? Almost all press conferences in every sport is quiet. You don’t hear the media cheering for players. Go look at the press conferences for Jaden Daniels and other NFL picks from the draft and same with the nba drafts. It’s usually held in their practice facility which is only accessible for the media as well. Of course there are some exceptions like if you’re the #1 overall pick or outlier teams but what Angel received is the norm. It’s just their practice facility isn’t the best looking facility. But in terms of it being quiet. That is the norm

    I love that you made this video clip. Made me want to share something I experienced as a professional songwriter in the 80's. This will be long so bare with me. I was blessed to write songs for Whitney Houston and many others in the 80's. When digital keyboards and drum machines arrived in the 80's they were expensive and everyone who could afford them bought all the latest expensive gear and sold a lot of their old used analog gear to music stores and pawn shops. Many of the young musicians who could afford the new gear were from the suburbs and had money, but to be honest with you most of them lacked the talent. So even though they had all the best new gear they could not write a great song if their life depended on it. Now on the other hand, most of the kids who were broke or from the hood could only afford the old used gear that many people said was inferior to the new digital gear. But they forgot the most important thing. It's not the gear it's the person with the talent that can make the hit records and that is exactly what happened especially in the genre of rap and hip hop. Dudes from the hood were buying up all the old gear because it was cheap and they took that old gear and made hit records with it because they had the talent. Especially those who were making rap and hip hop records and we see how that genre of music exploded all over the world. So the analogy I am making is that the Seattle Storm can have the best new facility in the WNBA and there is nothing wrong with that, and the Chicago Sky can upgrade their facility and that's cool too, but I believe Angel starting out in a parks and recreation gym will just motivate her even more to prove that the facilities are not as important as the talent and the competitive mindset and determination Angel, Kamilla, Coach T-Spoon and the others have to win games and championships. Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" went 12-0 at Jackson State and the facilities were not great. He goes to Colorado that has one of the best facilities in the country and he started making the program better than it was at 1-11 before he got there, but with the great facilities and a few star players they still only went 4-8. Dawn Staley was short from the hood and look what she accomplished in college, the WNBA, the Olympics, the Hall of Fame and South Carolina. They just went 38-0 and won the national championship after losing their entire starting 5 and having to build all over again. Nobody including Dawn thought they could win the National Championship let alone go 38-0. It's all about the talent and the mindset and determination to win! Angel and Kamilla are winners with the talent and in the end of the day that's more important than the facilities in my opinion. Drop Mic! 🎤🏀

And for those reporters sitting there, they didn't even have enough sense to speak and these are grown @$$ people!!! And for all the people that didn't do their job, it's because of HER that they have a job!!! I totally agree with everything you had to say and even my sister from LA and for all my other sisters make sure that you are getting everything that you'll deserve because from the owner down to the water boy are making their money off of YOU!!!

    Agreed with all of your ideas Quita. The WNBA teams need to take advantage of these big college names coming into their teams, a lot more eyes on them. They have to do better and aim higher. Like you said the Aces, Seattle Storm and Fever are doing a great job, but the Chicago Sky should have had a sold out welcome event for both KC and AR. Or have a get to know the team event where they are signing jerseys, something! It’s frustrating because I see this happen all the time with women’s sports, it seems like such an afterthought and then they turn around and blame people for not supporting the league.

    I think this is great way to lovingly push the Sky's marketing team along. There will always be growing pains. The projected growth of the WNBA requires these issues be addressed. Also this is a great opportunity to grab attention just prior to the start of league play is a dream scenario for any team. I am sure the Sky is not the only team and maybe the league itself can step in and make suggestions for when teams bring in such stars for initial introductions.

    I don't follow the Sky, and I don't know much about the WNBA, but I know a lot about poor management. Quita is right, they could have done this in a back alley and made a better impression than they did. It's about thoughtfulness and appearances. Who wants to go where they don't put any effort to welcome you? If this is the way they approach coaching, they will have a losing team.

    It was sad and underwhelming, and dare I say slightly disrespectful. Like you said this is someone who has helped to reinvigorate/rejuvenize women's basketball. This reception just ain't it!!! This was my concern with her going to Chicago. They are rebuilding, and I don't know if they will welcome her in a way that she may deserve. Their priorities may not be on maintaining a good rapport (keeping her beyond this year). I think the goal is to boost sales and bring eyes to the team(which it should be). I just was worried about this sort of stuff.

    I tried to avoid these kind of comments. But I saw this , and I became very disappointed by the black community. I watched this on tiktok . I love how Angel Reese is inspiration to many black women and girls. I realised that the comments were based on how caitlin was better. That does not even matter. People have something against black women winning. I have hade several of white female friends who were successful and I realised that they were more likely to be celebrated than black women who were as successful or even better. The issue is not Angel attitude or skills , its how the world perceives black girls. Angel and every other black women are human beings with diverse feelings and personalities. We are not problematic. Angel Rocks. She is a black girl that rocks. She deserves our support .

    So explain to me why Cameron Brinks introductory press conference was through Zoom? She’s white. Same with Kamila. The issue is you guys see the treatment Caitlin is getting and thinks everyone else should get it. Now if you guys actually did research and watched sports you would know that the #1 pick in almost every sport gets a larger welcome because the expectations on them in much higher than picks who are lower. Angel Reese is expected to be a role player. She isn’t expected to help lead to team to championship the way the #1 pick is. Now also if you did your research you would see that introductory press conference at the practice facility with only media is the norm. Yes the Sky’s practice facility is outdated but that is still the norm throughout all of sports. Rarely is an introductory press conference ever marketed. Maybe the Sky plan on having a player introduction later on, but you guys are getting mad at something that is the norm and trying to make it a black white issue. Now if CC was picked 7th and she had a crazy welcome party and Angel Reese was picked #1 and she had nothing then there would be a reason to get all worked up

    @@shofiulrahman8988 This was not my argument, relax. My argument has nothing to do with Caitlin. It has to do with the black community stubbornness on giving flowers to a great influence on the black community when their due. Stay in your lane. I am well aware of the greatness of those other girls. I am also aware of Caitlin's greatness. But I told you it has nothing to do with her and any of the other great players. Kamila also deserved to be given a greater platform and support from her community. It's got do with you and so many other people attitude towards celebrating and supporting black women just cause you can . The problem is you expect black women to be great and never give the warranted appreciation to specifically the impact in the black community.
