It seems like she hasn’t really been able to pay attention to her car due to her hectic schedule. Reese has made some truly extraordinary efforts off the basketball court following her championship title. She received widespread acclaim for her debut in the renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, displaying her adaptability and capacity to transcend sports. So, it is no surprise that her busy schedule might have held her up.

However, it is to be noted that Resse’s BARBIE even caught the attention of millionaire Shaquille O’Neal. Worth $450 million, he has seen and owned his fair share of nigh-opulent rides. As the 21-year-old posted the car on her profile on her birthday, the millionaire left a comment on it.
