Reese was asked about the nickname during a recent interview, as shared by Meghan L. Hall on X/Twitter.
She said: “Shoutout to CJ McCollum. I appreciate the love and support, and I appreciate the support from the Hawks.
“It is really cool when your men’s team shows love to us and shows a lot of support to us. I guess he’s saying that because I played LSU too and now I’m here in Georgia in Atlanta.
“So, I appreciate the name, I guess that’s my new nickname: Queen of the South.”
Reese has been one of the Dream’s top players in the postseason and will now be focused on bringing the championship back to Atlanta for the first time.
The Dream have previously made it to three finals but failed to win any of them, last making an appearance in 2013.
