Angel Reese is one of the most recognizable college basketball players this year and to top that off, the young NCAA champion is dominating in a new STARRY short film and commercial that debuted during the 2023 NBA Finals.

The project, titled 3>2: A STARRY Story, is a “fun and unique take on the origin story of the 3-point shot, and its inception and evolution throughout the years in the NBA, through the eyes of STARRY characters Lem and Lime,” according to the press release. It also features appearances from NBA stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Zion Williamson.
In this exclusive conversation with REVOLT, Angel Reese talked about the short film, how she deals with people who aren’t as welcoming as she would hope, and her dreams to pursue acting and appear on screen with Taraji P. Henson. Read below.

Yesterday’s price is not today’s price as you’re dominating sports and the TV screen. How has this opportunity with STARRY helped you elevate as a brand?

Being able to be a part of this and work with amazing NBA players like [Karl-Anthony Towns], [Matt Barnes], and [Zion Williamson] is great. They were so respectful of me and praised me during the shoot. I was a bit nervous because they are big-time athletes and sometimes when you’re around players of that caliber, they would try to “little girl” me, but these guys made me feel super confident.
