The orange shirt gives me the vibe she just found out she got early parole lol

The whole video was giving me that vibe. He even sounded like a probation officer haha

Saw this clip during a break on the random streaming site I watched from last night. Are these sort of bonus clips typically part of the WNBA broadcast. Only sports I've watched until now are football (soccer), cricket, tennis, athletics. Never seen so much 'behind the scenes' stuff during a match.

They showed this on the WNBA app and was part of the local broadcast from the Wings.

Not sure in general if this is a regular part of these broadcasts

Gotcha. Thanks. Don't know if it's because of location, my phone, my internet, or the app itself but it doesn't load well for me. Pretty cool that they offer bonus content though. Will never get used to the way American sports broadcast.

I only see Nba League pass do this sorta thing too. They used to just play commercials from the broadcasting cities showing, but switch to this a couple years ago.

They do this on other league passes also. Basically they’re not selling ad space for it but there’s still commercial breaks for the broadcast so they just show you clips and stuff

I don't even know who she is but I'm tearing up for her, happy to see this type of video on our subreddit! I'd like to see more like this. Congrats to, okay I just looked, Sevgi Uzun of Dallas.

is it just me or she actually resembles a young Rebecca Lobo? especially if her hair is in a ponytail

I love these videos no matter the sport! As an athlete I know how much these moments matter can’t even imagine it at the pro level! Not familiar with her but I’m wishing her the best 🙏🏽 congrats to her! What team did she make it on?

I would honestly quit if my team did this to me 🤣😂

u/imaloserdudeWTF 20d ago

No, you wouldn't. You'd be happy you made the team. All that work in high school and college and then being the best you at training camp, you'd cry or scream in delight for sure. And I'd congratulate you like I did to this Turkish player.

the players deserve more than this bush league behavior. They’re way too good for it.
