The 27-year-old dropped 53 points to lead her team to their 29th win of the season. She became only the third-ever WNBA player to score 50 points in a single game. The power forward also tied the record for the league’s all-time record for most points in a single game with Liz Cambage.

Her historic achievement was applauded by LeBron James, but a bit teasingly. As she was wearing LeBron 20 shoes, he tweeted, “Must be the [shoe]”. The 38-year-old then added, “GO THE HELL OFF THEN SIS!!!!!” to encourage her.

Her dominance on the court left the team’s head coach Becky Hammon stunned. The Hall of Famer praised her performance, reportedly saying, “She runs like a deer, jumps like a cat, and catches like if she were Spiderman”. Her teammate Sydney Colson also honored her with a caption of “Special” on her Instagram story.
