“Two Losses Today”: Brittney Griner Finally Gets the Honor of a Lifetime as Kim Mulkey Ends Up a Scapegoat for Fans

On a day when LSU suffered their second consecutive conference loss against Mississippi, Kim Mulkey’s former prodigy — Brittney Griner — receives a long overdue honor from Baylor. Kim Mulkey has well-established herself as one of the greatest coaches in the professional college basketball realm. At the same time, Brittney Griner is well known for her impeccable skills on the hardwood.

While the two share the same basketball blood, it is no news that they do not get along. Consequently, fans are having a field day rubbing both these events in Kim Mulkey’s face.

Fans call out Kim Mulkey after Baylor celebrates Griner

Soon after LSU’s embarrassing loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, fans wasted no time in correlating it to Griner’s special day. As the Bears prepare to retire the iconic Griner’s jersey No. 42, social media is letting Mulkey know how this turns out to be a second loss of the day for LSU’s boss. Apparently, this all roots down to the fallout between Kim and Brittney back at Baylor almost a decade ago. Adding to the suspense is Kim’s silence on anything about the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Seemingly, speculations have been making rounds since the controversy started that Kim did not approve of Griner’s sexual orientation. This has led to some anti-LGBTQ drama for Mulkey since then. Further, fans again thrashed Kim as she did not show any support towards Brittney after her detention in Russia back in 2022.

However, Kim did state in 2023 that, “I’m glad she’s back. I’m glad she’s safe, she’s sound. I think everybody is.” Consequently, she waved away any further inquiries relating to her.

Well, even today, Kim Mulkey has not spoken anything more about Brittney Griner. Meanwhile, her university will soon honor the ecstatic player.

Baylor celebrates Brittney’s legacy

Brittney has done a lot for her university basketball team since she joined the roster back in 2009. Evidently, the excellent baller led the team to great heights from the final four as a freshman to winning the national championship in 2012. As a member of the NCAAWBB, Brittney secured a record of 3,283 points. She was positioned among the top ranks in many categories for both women’s and general NCAA records. Consequently, Baylor University will now celebrate the legacy that she’s leaving behind on February 18, 2024, when the Bears will stand against Virginia Tech.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, it is not justified to vent out any sort of anger against any entity on social media. Clearly, there’s some bad blood between two of the most popular faces in the basketball world. Nonetheless, we can be content to know that Baylor University is recognizing its talented students.
