The Chicago Sky’s newest additions, Angel Reese and Kamila Cardoso, bring not only talent but also a history of collegiate rivalry that has fans buzzing. Reese, formerly of the LSU Tigers, and Cardoso, who represented the South Carolina Gamecocks, now find themselves on the same team after facing off in intense NCAA battles.
Their transition from rivals to teammates has sparked intrigue, especially considering the apparent “beef” between the two during their college matchups. However, both players have been quick to dismiss any animosity, emphasizing that their competitive banter was confined to the basketball court.
Addressing rumors of friction, Cardoso took to TikTok to set the record straight, stating, “We are a great duo. I’m going to tell you this once and one time only… Social media really be trying to be messy. We played against each other, it’s competition… Outside of basketball, we cool.”
