you can bet she'll be trying to score at that clip at SC next year until Dawn says otherwise.....
Considering she’s been pulling her hair out trying to get her recent point guards to be more proactive on offense, that’s a prospect Dawn is more than happy to take. Zia probably reminds Dawn a lot of herself who was no shrinking violet when it came to scoring when she was at UVA.

The clip of Fran Belibi's recent dunk is up to 3.4 million views, as well.

You're starting to see this happen more and more. It's really cool to see prominent NBA players and other cultural figures like Chance the Rapper promote women's hoops.

There's a long way to go but I do feel like there is some progress being made around shedding the stigma of women's basketball as "boring" or not worth watching.

They’re obviously bringing something different to WBB and it should be great exposure for the sport. She went from just 2,000 followers on instagram to 42K in two days! Same thing happened to ONO when she dunked at the Powerade Jam Fest last year. These ladies are bringing the spotlight to WCBB and I’m here for it!

Fran said she heard about her views but she doesn’t have Social media, to be a teenager in this day and age and not have Social media she’s definitely different.

50 Cent came to a Chicago Sky game a couple years back after Imani McGee-Stafford waged a season-long social media campaign imploring him to do so.

Would definitely be cool if stuff like that happened more often (and required less begging).

I’ve seen tons of NBA players at WNBA games last season. John Wall was at the all of the Mystics/Dream playoff games same with Trae Young and Dwight Howard. Damian Lillard, and Josh Hart was at a couple of Aces games as well and I think we’ll see more attending and promoting WBB in the future.
