Reese’s collab meal with McDonald’s will include a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese topped with a new BBQ sauce, french fries and a drink. This is not the first time that McDonald’s has collaborated with an NBA star, with perhaps their most iconic collaboration being their 1993 ad spot featuring Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.

Angel Reese opens up about landing her ‘dream’ collaboration

Having McDonald’s as one of your partners is an amazing profile to have on your portfolio. But Angel Reese’s latest collaboration means a lot more than just another addition to her outstanding list of sponsorships. In an interview with People, Reese opened up about her childhood fascination with McDonald’s and how she would save up money to buy herself her favorite fast food.

I’ve been into McDonald’s since I was a kid. I don’t think anybody hasn’t… I used to save money so I can eat at McDonald’s, and I remember growing up, me and my brother would fight sometimes over the Happy Meal toys

That wasn’t all for her, though. The childhood fascination of Angel Reese with McDonald’s would extend further into life, as she dreamed of making the iconic McDonald’s All-American team in high school. The game, which has featured greats like Kobe Bryant and Breanna Stewart in the past, would unfortunately allude Reese, as the 2020 and 2021 games would be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now, over a decade since her initial fascination with McDonald’s started, Angel Reese is set to become an ambassador with her own meal in the world’s largest fast-food chain. Strength to strength is truly the only way to define the success of the Chicago Sky star.
