    Angel Reese has been on a run for the ages recently.

    Every day, the "Chi Barbie" is showing up at some trendy event, making waves for a new business deal she has secured, or is draining tough buckets or grabbing rebounds during her Chicago Sky games.

    Everybody in the world wants a piece of Reese at the moment. And it's truly astounding that a 22 year old woman is able to remain, in her words, "unapologetically herself" throughout the fame she has been amassing.

    The most recent appearance Reese made showed up on social media Wednesday, when she was holding the NBA's Larry O'Brien championship trophy.

    In a video posted to ESPN's Instagram account, Reese is talking to the trophy, saying, "What's up, Larry? Nice to meet you."

    She then references late legend Kobe Bryant, saying, "When I hold Larry, it reminds me of Kobe Bryant.

    "Kobe and Shaq playing together, winning championships together," she added.

    Reese then waxed poetic about how cool it was to be holding such an iconic trophy.

    Judging from Reese was wearing, it appears that the video came from her NBA Playoffs commercial shoot.
