You can always come back to this side

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese gave a playful fix to her close friend Kahleah Cooper’s issue. On Sunday, Reese reposted Cooper’s post, where she raised a “man” issue in her life.

In Cooper’s X post, she expressed a hilarious “man” problem, saying that Sunday reminded her that she needs a man since it will be trash day tomorrow. Reese, who has been calling Cooper her “grandma,” answered, pointing out that she can always return “to this side.”

“(sunday’s) remind me that I need a man.. trash day tomorrow smh.,” Cooper wrote.

“you can always come back to this side 🙃,” Reese said.

Cooper has been engaged with Swedish Binta Drammeh, who fellow women’s basketball player from Sweden, since last year.

Cooper and Reese have been friends since the inaugural Unrivaled season, where they were teammates in Rose BC. Their team went on to win the first-ever Unrivaled champions with Reese taking home the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Reese is coming off her sophomore season in the WNBA, averaging 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game for the Sky but again missed the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Cooper helped the Phoenix Mercury reach the WNBA Finals, losing to the eventual champions Las Vegas Aces. Cooper averaged 15.6 points per game in the previous WNBA season.

Kahleah Cooper speaks on friendship with Angel Reese

Kahleah Cooper and Angel Reese have an eight-year age gap, but their chemistry as friends has remained solid. In an interview with USA Today’s For The Win with Meghan Hall last January, the 31-year-old Cooper got candid about her close friendship with 23-year-old Reese.

“It’s been great…On the court, it’s been great,” Cooper said. “You know, to see her on the court and really want to learn. You know, it’s a lot of young players that’s like, ‘I want to learn from the greats. I want to learn.’ And you get with them, and they don’t want to listen or they do want they want to do. But, no.”

Cooper said Reese communicates what she wants to improve on the court, making her proud to see her growth in her career.

“She communicates. She really wants to learn…and I see her —her growth every single day. So, respectfully, I have a lot of respect for her on the court and just how she wants to grow,” Cooper said.

Cooper will be returning to Rose for the second season of Unrivaled, while Reese opted not to play in the season.
