Reese, 22, has been one of the best-attacking players in the league for Rose Basketball.

She became the first star to hit a 20-20 game in Unrival history during the win over the Lunar Owls.

In the Friday night match, she earned 22 points and 21 rebounds.

This followed on from her stunning 15-16 double-double against Vinyl BC.

Her performances have seen him secure dozens of endorsements, and he is now one of the most known players in the sport.

Speaking in her press conference, Reese admitted that her life is not “easy” and that she is trying to be an “inspiration”.

As she spoke to the media she was clearly emotional as she was teary-eyed.

She said: “It’s so much I can say. But for me, to keep going, it’s hard. It is hard. To live my life isn’t easy.

“And I don’t want to get emotional, but that’s why I put the work in every day.

“There are little girls that look up to me. There are the college girls that look up to me.

“And just being able to be an inspiration every day, that’s why I try to keep going through all the negativity.

“At 22, it’s hard living this life, but I’m grateful. I’m blessed. And being here at Unrivaled has been the best thing for me.”

Reese also insisted that her abilities on the court are down to the “work” she puts.

She added: “Being able to see my growth, I put in the work, and a lot of people don’t see what I put in.

“It’s great to see the results out there. But obviously, I’m not done yet.”

Meanwhile, earlier this month she was handed an eye-opening punishment in the new Unrivaled three-on-three event.

She was ejected from the game after being hit with two technical fouls.
