“I love everything about her,” Iverson said. “I love what she stands for. She reminds me of my little sister. She's dope to me. She reminds me of myself hoop wise and on a personal level too.”
Reese, who first joined the Reebok family in 2023, has built strong connections with both Iverson and Shaquille O’Neal, who brought her on board shortly after becoming Reebok’s President of Basketball.
“Me and Allen Iverson have had a great connection—obviously building with the Reebok brand,” Reese said, reflecting on the support she’s received from both Iverson and Shaq, especially as she looks ahead to launching her own signature shoe.
