Angel Reese is rewriting the WNBA record books and she is doing it at a pace nobody has ever seen before.
The Chicago Sky forward officially became the fastest player in league history to record 50 career double-doubles, hitting the milestone in just 66 games. The previous record? Nowhere close. Reese blew past Tina Charles, Sylvia Fowles, and every other dominant post player the W has ever produced.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Reese has been averaging 14.2 points and 12.8 rebounds this season, continuing the dominance she showed as a rookie. Her rebounding instincts are elite, she reads the ball off the rim before anyone else reacts, and she is relentless on the offensive glass.
What makes the record even more impressive is the context. Reese is doing this while dealing with constant double-teams, physical play designed to slow her down, and a Sky roster still building chemistry around her.
The Bigger Picture
The LSU product has transformed from polarizing college star to undeniable professional force. Her rivalry with Caitlin Clark drove historic viewership to the WNBA, but Reese's production has proven she is far more than a storyline. She is a generational rebounder with a growing offensive game.
At 23 years old, the ceiling is terrifying for opposing teams. Fifty double-doubles in 66 games is absurd efficiency, and there is no sign of her slowing down. The conversation about the best power forwards in WNBA history will have to include Reese sooner than anyone expected.
