Brittney Griner and A’Ja Wilson (Image Source: X/ClutchPoints)
The WNBA rivals Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury met again on Thursday to entertain hoop lovers with their exciting clash. There were many highlight-worthy moments in the game, and one of them involved A’Ja Wilson and Brittney Griner, the teams’ aces.
During the game, the Aces’ power forward went near the basket and tried a shot. But the 6-foot-9 center, Griner, obstructed her. Wilson immediately got hold of the ball and tried another shot, but Griner blocked again. Despite Griner’s effort, the game ended 103-99 in the Aces’ favor.
Griner’s double block on the 2-time WNBA champion impressed the basketball enthusiasts. The video of this block soon went viral on social media, leaving the community in splits. Here’s what they had to say when Clutch Points shared the post on X (formerly known as Twitter):
A fan wrote, “That’s two blocks on the two time MVP but people still say Griner should’ve been left off the Olympic team for Clark.”
Applauding Griner, another fan commented, “Two impressive blocks, I must say.”
A fan wrote, “Better defense than Luka could provide,” taking a dig at the Dallas Maverick star for his not-so-impressive defense.
Brittany Griner’s Gender Questioned by Antonio Brown
Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle celebrated their pregnancy news in front of the world. Soon, their beautiful couple pictures flaunting the baby bump started surfacing online. The WNBA star has already decided what her child will be in his professional life. While many came forward to convey their warm wishes to the couple, the comment of former NFL player Antonio Brown grabbed the headlines.
In one of the pictures, the WNBA veteran is spotted showing off her bare tattooed back. On seeing Brittany’s topless snap, Brown shared the post on his X handle and wrote, “Brittney Griner is definitely a dude! #CTESPN”.
This is not the first time Griner’s gender has been questioned. She has been facing such body shaming issues for a long time, especially since a video circulated of a topless woman who claimed to be Griner. Despite being questioned, she has held her head high and confirmed that she has nothing to hide.
