Angel Reese recently commented on Kahleah Copper’s latest Instagram pics, featuring her wearing a stylish black-and-white outfit on the streets of Washington, D.C.

Both Reese and Copper played for the same team, the Rose basketball club in the 3-on-3 tournament. The team eventually won the finals of the Unrivaled League against the Vinyl BC.
