“Queen of the Glass: Angel Reese Chasing Her Own Record With Historic Double-Double Streak”
In a league built on dominance, few have ever worn the crown of consistency like Angel Reese.
The WNBA had seen power before—Candace Parker’s versatility, Sylvia Fowles’ paint presence, Tina Charles’ relentlessness—but in 2024, a new standard was set. Fifteen straight double-doubles in a single season. The name at the top? Angel Reese, then a rookie, now a phenomenon.
But in July 2025, something even more astonishing was unfolding.
Reese wasn’t chasing someone else anymore—she was chasing herself.
With her current streak standing at 10 consecutive double-doubles, the Chicago Sky forward is within striking distance of her own all-time WNBA record. And she’s doing it under more pressure, more scrutiny, and with even more authority.
The Rise
Her 2024 campaign was supposed to be about transition. Adjusting from college stardom at LSU to the pros, Reese entered the league with questions—about her size, her efficiency, her ability to finish through WNBA-level contact. Those questions didn’t last long.
Game after game, she silenced critics with elite rebounding instincts, unmatched motor, and a nose for points in the paint. What began as a promising rookie stretch became a statistical marvel: 15 straight games of at least 10 points and 10 rebounds. No player—not Parker, not Fowles, not even Lauren Jackson—had ever done that.
She capped the streak with a 21-point, 16-rebound masterpiece against the Connecticut Sun, crashing the glass like a wrecking ball, pulling down boards in traffic, and spinning in post moves that looked polished beyond her years.
The Present
Fast forward to 2025: Reese is no longer a surprise. She’s the engine of the Sky. Defenses game-plan for her. Teams throw double teams. Yet, night after night, she delivers.
Through 10 straight games this summer, Reese has logged an average of 17.4 points and 13.2 rebounds, shooting 51% from the floor and anchoring a Sky team fighting for a top-four playoff spot. Her opponents know what’s coming—and still can’t stop it.
“She just wants it more,” said A’ja Wilson, after Reese put up 18 and 14 against Las Vegas. “You box her out, and she still gets it. You push her out of the paint, and she battles right back in. That’s not something you coach—that’s wired into her.”

The Legacy Building
What makes this second streak different is the context.
This time, Reese isn’t the newcomer. She’s the hunted, not the hunter. Every opponent knows the numbers. Every broadcast flashes the stat line. And yet, each game, Reese walks onto the court with the same edge she carried at LSU: bold, unbothered, and brutally efficient.
With five more double-doubles, she’ll surpass her own 2024 record—15 consecutive double-doubles—and set a new gold standard in professional women’s basketball. But for Reese, it’s not about records.
> “I’m not chasing numbers,” she said after her latest 20-13 performance against Seattle. “I’m chasing wins, and I’m chasing respect.”
Still, the numbers don’t lie. And if the current pace holds, she’ll not only rewrite the record books again—she’ll own an entire chapter.
In a league filled with stars, Angel Reese isn’t just shining. She’s cementing herself as the most consistent force in the game—one rebound, one bucket, one historic streak at a time.
