Additionally, she even channeled WWE legend John Cena while celebrating her team’s victory. As per CBS Sports, talking about the win, she said, “All year I was critiqued about who I was. … I don’t fit the narrative. I don’t fit in a box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood. I’m too ghetto. Y’all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y’all say nothing.”

 

Moreover, she added, “It was bigger than me tonight. It was bigger than me. Twitter is going to go on a rage every time, and I’m happy. I feel like I’ve helped grow women’s basketball this year.” She also mentioned that she was looking forward to the next season.
