Former Louisiana State University sensation Angel Reese has moved on to the WNBA and is now part of the Chicago Sky squad. Her former teammate and current LSU Lady Tigers star Flau’jae Johnson has emerged as the new face of the team after Reese’s departure to the pros.

As teammates, Reese and Johnson raised the LSU Lady Tigers to impressive heights. They won the 2022-23 NCAA National Championship title together and had a historic run in last year’s March Madness tournament, where they faced the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight round.

Reese and Johnson have given fans many funny and interesting instances showing their close bond. Let’s look at three times the two were the poster children of perfect teammates.

“Get that garbage out of here,” Johnson replies.

Flau’jae Johnson, like a good friend, was proud of Angel Reese’s achievement after the Chicago Sky picked her in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The LSU star then said that her teammate’s WNBA selection ignited a passion in her to also realize her dreams. She said:

“It has definitely fired me, like, she was literally my teammate in college, and now she is pursuing her dream in the draft, which is also a dream of mine. When her name got called, I felt like it was a win for everybody. I was so proud of her, I told her congratulations,” Johnson told Kevin Hart on NBA Unpluggeed.
