James Worthy<\/a> is sharing how he actually feels about his game getting compared to Angel Reese.<\/a><\/p>\n

The NBA legend, who spent 12 years with the Los Angeles Lakers before he retired in 1994, had his early game compared<\/a> to that of Reese’s by Chicago Sky<\/a> head coach Tyler Marsh.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much more room for growth and there\u2019s so much progression that she\u2019s shown from year one to year two,\u201d Marsh said about the Chicago Sky star.<\/p>\n

Marsh also added how she notices all aspects of her game and improves: \u201cShe\u2019s realizing all the other aspects of her game in real time to be effective, and she\u2019s showing it night in and night out.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Worthy’s diagnosis of Reese’s game, he gave his honest opinion to Brandon \u201cScoop B\u201d Robinson on Scoop B Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has tremendous footwork,\u201d the Lakers legend said. \u201cHer ability to bypass players \u2014 I do see a little bit of familiarity in that. I haven\u2019t seen enough to say she\u2019s exactly like me, but she does have tendencies of evading and making her game stretch out a little bit to avoid defenses. I do like that about her game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Worthy also shared what he truly thanks of Reese’s second year in the league. She was drafted No. 7 overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA Draft. During her second year she averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 30 games. The LSU alum had a back injury and didn’t play the last 14 games of the season. Reese is under contract with the Sky through 2027 and the team is moving as if she will remain on the roster until otherwise noted. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Worthy is sharing how he actually feels about his game getting compared to Angel Reese.
