The Chicago Sky have had a rough start to the 2025 WNBA season, as they are just 2–5 so far, but their star player, Angel Reese, made some cool history off the court Monday night when she was named the BET Sportswoman of the Year for third straight year.
Reese, who is averaging nine points and 12 rebounds a game in her second season in the WNBA, joins tennis legend Serena Williams as the only two athletes to win this award three times.
Here is the list of the athletes that the 23-year-old was able to beat out for the award:
