But it’s hard to deny that the Atlanta Dream forward can put up some serious numbers while she’s on the court. And her latest statistical feat set a WNBA record.
Reese is the fastest player to reach 950 points and 850 rebounds in WNBA history, according to Real Sports.
She reached the mark on Sunday as the Dream took on the Phoenix Mercury.

There are plenty of opinions about Reese, but she is a historically great rebounder any way you break the numbers down.
She holds pretty much every league record for “fastest to X rebounds” in WNBA history.

She gets a lot of offensive boards, yes, including her own, but she also hits the glass with a reckless abandon and very strong instincts and hands. She ends up in the right spot and grabs the ball, over and over again.
Reese doesn’t always score efficiently, but she scores enough to pair with her rebounds to make her a constant double-double threat.
And with that combination can come a record like this one. It’s a bit cherry-picked as far as the numbers are concerned, yes, but it’s still a cool feat for Reese to accomplish.
