Trinity Rodman reacted to Angel Reese showing up in Dennis Rodman's jersey for Fever game
Angel Reese and Dennis Rodman have similarities in their game. The Sky star and the Hall of Fame NBA players are excellent rebounders.
The Sky star made the comparison a bigger talking point when she donned a Rodman jersey in August for a game against the Indiana Fever. Rodman's daughter, Trinity Rodman, discussed it in an interview with "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper on Dec. 11.
"I’m not throwing shade at anybody, but I remember Angel Reese wore his jersey in one game, and there was a picture of them," she said.
"He’s really a famous basketball player, and like, style-wise, everything, (he was) inspiring. But I think as a daughter seeing that, it’s like, no shade, but damn I wish I was I was in that position."
Trinity shared in the interview that she and her brother used to sleep in a car for some time because they had no house. According to Trinity, Rodman isn't her dad. They are just related by blood. Rodman and Michelle Moyer [Trinity's mother] separated when the US soccer player was 10.
