“I manifested this moment,” the Atlanta Dream player told E! News last year while getting ready backstage. “I posted it on my Story last year that I was going to be a Victoria’s Secret model and it literally happened less than a year later.”
Reese, indeed, became the very first WNBA player to ever walk the Victoria’s Secret runway.
“I’m just really happy to know that when I speak with my tongue, I know things are going to happen,” she continued. “Not at the time that I want all the time, but at God’s time and this is my moment and this is my time and I’m gonna embrace it.”
But while the 24-year-old baller was making history, she was mostly floored by the stars she was surrounded by.
“I get to sit in the room with the top, top, top models,” she mused. “Just being here and being in this moment—I’m grateful and graceful and I’m really gonna enjoy it.”
This year, though, Reese’s team is vying for a championship title in the WNBA finals—so she’ll be dribbling down the court rather than lacing up the lingerie.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be walking this year, but I’m forever grateful that I got to lie out this dream and earn my very own ANGEL WINGS!” Reese wrote on Instagram earlier this month. “I’ll cherish forever. Once an ANGEL, always an ANGEL.”
