Lisa Leslie made good on her promise to Angel Reese.
The former WNBA star has been spotted training Reese, a month after she promised to help the Chicago Sky forward on a specific aspect of her game.

Reese is a talented basketball player, demonstrated by her stellar debut season in the WNBA which was cut short by an injury to her wrist.
The 22-year-old averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists last season and made the WNBA All-Star and All-Rookie team.
Reese also set numerous WNBA records, as she became the first player in WNBA history to record multiple games of 10 or more offensive rebounds and 10 or more defensive rebounds.
She also became the player with the most consecutive double-doubles at 15, and became the first rookie since Shaquille O’Neal to achieve back-to-back 20-rebound games.
However, one part of Reese’s game that has often come under scrutiny is her layups.
Reese made only 42 percent (136 of 321) of her layup attempts last season, and has has previously referred to her shooting percentage on social media “the worst you’ll ever see me.”
However, we can expect to see improvement in that department heading into next season as Reese was seen being trained on her layups by Leslie in Miami at the Unrivaled center.
Fans online reacted to the footage of the pair training together and expressed their delight at seeing Reese work on her layups.
“Nothing brings me more joy right now than seeing this, I appreciate Angel because she was raw talent. Athleticism & tenacity, now she can hone in on scoring,” one fan wrote on X.
“Now we’re talking, you can tell how drastically she improved,” another fan added.

It comes after Leslie promised Reese she was “going to fix her layups.”
It was something Reese clearly welcomed as there are not many better to work with that Leslie. The two-time WNBA champion is considered as one of the greatest basketball players of all-time.
In 2001, she was the first WNBA player to win the regular season MVP, the All-Star Game MVP, and the playoff MVP in the same season.
“The biggest advice I have for you is gonna be how you shoot your layups, period,” Leslie told Reese on Unapologetically Angel back in Feburary.
“We’re gonna fix that. That’s fixable for you.”
“Just the idea that you want to get better, like I love that.”

Leslie, who won two more WNBA MVP honors in 2004 and 2006, praised Reese’s desire to improve as well.
“For me to hear from you, and see that you’re like, ‘Yes, I want you to work with me, I want you to help me, I want to get better’ — that’s what it’s about.
“The fact that you already have that attitude? You’re going to get better, and I can help you get better. I’m positive.”
It’s not the first time Leslie had expressed her desire to help Reese with her shooting. She mentioned it to Kelley O’Hara in a September episode of Just Women’s Sports.
“I hope to work with Angel one day in the gym, just to really help her get to that next level, because I believe that really can,” Leslie said in September.
Currently Reese has her attention on Unrivaled, which is approaching the end of its debut season.
The league will conclude on March 17 with a championship game after two semi-finals the day before.
