The result of the Chicago Sky's latest contest certainly didn't go as Angel Reese wanted. The Sky were handled by the Phoenix Mercury. However, Reese did have one of the better games of her impressive rookie season and shared a nice moment with a fan after the game.

Reese approached a young fan who was holding a sign that read, "Remember me? You will always be the All-Star of my heart." Angel and the young girl with the sign shared an embrace and both seemed to have genuine smiles on their faces.

It was after this video was posted from the Sky's social media account and became widespread that fans began pointing out that the girl in the video was the same one from the WNBA All-Star Game. Reese had previously given the girl her shoes in a viral interaction following the festivities in Phoenix.

Angel has many dedicated supporters, but this young lady in particular seems to be especially committed, and apparently has a parent with the resources to get her close to the floor consistently. Reese rewarded the support and seemed happy to do so.

Despite the loss, Angel did have a huge performance. She nearly recorded a 20-20 game registering 19 points and 20 rebounds. Reese is pacing to break the all-time WNBA record for rebounds in a season.

Another thing of note was that Angel also attempted, and hit, several midrange shots in the contest. If she can add that dimension to her game while finishing at a better clip around the rim, Reese has a very high ceiling as a player in the league.

As is, she already has plenty of "Reese's Pieces" in the stands.
