“’It has been the best decision for me, being able to have my own control over everything,” Reese said. “Of course, I could have easily gone to Nike easily… I even look at other athletes on the women’s side and they sign with brands and they still don’t respect them.”
While Reese may have just been off on a tangent, her reference to a potential Nike deal could be seen as a thinly veiled shot at Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark
Clark recently inked an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike. The figures for Reece’s contract with Reebok have yet to be released. After the news of her deal, Reece tweeted, “‘God is so good!! (looks like I can “afford” my bills now).”
Reece drew attention to WNBA salaries earlier in October during an Instagram Live session. The Chicago Sky star mentioned how her WNBA salary of $73,469 does not cover most of her expenses I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” Reese said. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills, literally. I don’t even know my salary. I’m living beyond my means. My rent is more than that, it’s $8,000.”
“Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA doesn’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary
