Bruh. That's not some bum she did that too



If Reese gets rookie of the year…. It would be poetic justice for all the hate she constantly gets.


Right now she is absolutely the favorite. She's leading rookies in multiple categories and is dropping double doubles with ease.

And yep. All that nasty hate, calling her ghetto, all that garbage will haunt the haters.

I believe that A'ja, Angel etc are paying homage the late great Florence Joyner Griffin ala Flo Jo

I could be wrong though.


That’s not it….

Here is an article on it tho

The debate is between Aja and Cooper. It’s a deep rabbit hole lol

I'm an old 80s baby so the first time I saw A'ja/Te'a I immediately thought they were inspired by Flo Jo :lol: but they're probably too young to remember her

They did mention her in the article which is cool

The article mentions Flo Jo for sure as doing it back in the day.

I think it’s prob just great minds think alike. Who really knows. Maybe somebody will get to the bottom one day

SGA wears the one leg sleeve as well so it’s def left the wnba circles.

Like I said earlier ,everyone knows it but her it seems. She literally just dug a deeper hole by saying nothing. It’s a very bad look for her.

Yeah I just saw Dijonai's tweet

She is 1000000% right and I'm glad she spoke up. This is why I said that this isn't over yet. CC is going to have to face this.

Honestly, Dijonai did her a favor whether she realizes it or not: now she cannot run, she cannot hide. She has to face it.

Address exactly what she said. Condemn all of that mess with your chest and be done with it. Everyone who loves the league and players wants this to be about hoops but it's not. She's gotta be grown now. Like, yeah, you're not the one being racist and hateful, but people are using your name to do it. Step up. Perfect time to do it.

100% somebody got to her. Her whole body language changed. It was not a good look, so they had to stop the snowball that was coming down the hill.

I'm watching it on the ESPN website. Boston is beasting in the first half. She's facing up and driving, backing people down, and finishing efficiently. She looks like a completely different player than previously this season. Kelsey Mitchell, Kristy Wallace and Katie Lou Samuelson are also shooting well for the Fever. For Atlanta, Rhyne Howard has a quick 10 points, but picked up 3 fouls and only played 8 minutes.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.
