Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper are the Unrivaled duo we didn't know we needed.

When the new league launched, it was unclear how it might all work out or how the players would react. But the early results are really promising. Several WNBA players are getting to hang out and bond with people they typically wouldn't see as much during the season. It's produced some incredible content—think WNBA all-star vibes—including a dope friendship between Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper.

During recent media availability, For The Win asked Kahleah how she feels about their friendship. Here's what she told us and other media members:

"It's been great...On the court, it's been great. You know, to see her on the court and really want to learn. You know, it's a lot of young players that's like, 'I want to learn from the greats. I want to learn.' And you get with them, and they don't want to listen or they do want they want to do.
But, no. She communicates. She really wants to learn...and I see her —her growth every single day. So, respectfully, I have a lot of respect for her on the court and just how she wants to grow."
