WNBA Media Day Spotlight: Kamilla Cardoso & Angel Reese Reunite as Chicago’s “Twin Towers” Take Center Stage
The WNBA’s newest dynamic duo stole the spotlight at Media Day, as Chicago Sky rookies Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese took center stage—not just with their fashion and charisma, but with the undeniable energy of a new era in Windy City basketball. Dubbed the “Twin Towers” by fans and media alike, the towering tandem is already turning heads before they’ve even played a minute together in the league.
Standing at 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-3 respectively, Cardoso and Reese bring an imposing presence to the Sky’s frontcourt. But their impact goes far beyond size. Both players were dominant in college—Cardoso at South Carolina and Reese at LSU—where they led their teams deep into the NCAA Tournament and captivated audiences with their physicality, energy, and confidence.
Now, they’ll share the floor as teammates for the first time, forming what could be one of the most fearsome rookie frontcourts the league has seen in years. And at Media Day, they embraced the moment.
“This is just the beginning,” Reese said with her signature swagger. “We’re coming in to work, to learn, and to win. Chicago got two dogs.”
Cardoso echoed the sentiment, adding, “We have the height, the skill, and the drive. We’re both competitors, and we want to make an impact right away.”
What makes this pairing even more compelling is the complementary nature of their games. Reese is relentless on the boards, thrives in transition, and brings unmatched energy to both ends of the floor. Cardoso, meanwhile, is a true rim protector with elite footwork, shot-blocking instincts, and a soft touch around the basket. Together, they give the Sky a foundation of toughness, defense, and rebounding that any coach would love.
Their bond off the court is just as strong. Though they were college rivals in the SEC, there’s mutual respect and excitement for what’s ahead.
“Kamilla’s always been a beast,” Reese said. “Now we’re on the same team—and that’s scary for everyone else.”
Media Day was filled with laughs, high fashion, and viral quotes from both rookies, but underneath the fun was a clear message: Chicago is building something special.
Sky fans have every reason to be excited. After a transitional 2023 season, the franchise is resetting with a bold identity rooted in youth, athleticism, and charisma. Cardoso and Reese aren’t just here to develop quietly—they’re here to compete, bring fans back into seats, and redefine what the Sky can be in a competitive WNBA landscape.
Coach Teresa Weatherspoon, a legend in her own right, has been vocal about her belief in the young core.
“They’re not just big names,” Weatherspoon said. “They’re big-time players who want to win, who want to learn, and who want to build something. I love that.”
From the bold outfits and confident interviews to the endless potential on the court, Media Day felt like the unveiling of a new chapter. The “Twin Towers” are here, and they’re ready to rise.
As training camp begins and preseason play looms, all eyes will be on Chicago—and for good reason. Because when Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese step on the court together, the future of the WNBA gets a little brighter—and a lot taller.
