There is no doubt about the abundance of talent when it comes to the USA Basketball women’s national team. More so, this year’s team has featured a dynamic versatility with the presence of veterans and some new faces. However, it does get a bit difficult to stand out among peers when everyone is great. However, Jackie Young has managed to do just that in Paris. Young’s displays in the knockouts have been crucial to the team’s wins. Now that they have reached the gold medal game, the team shared what significance this moment carries for them.

However, Jackie Young has taken up all the spotlight yet again with her hilarious, yet laid-back 4-word response. After the players were asked whether they had envisioned something like this at the beginning of their careers, almost everyone said no.

A’ja Wilson, Brittney Griner, Chelsea Gray, Napheesa Collier, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas, everyone revealed that they had certain goals and dreams, but they never envisioned this kind of moment until they got selected to the national team. However, Las Vegas Aces teammates Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young had a different answer.

Plum said, “Absolutely. Absolutely, sometimes it’s just maybe delayed but not denied.” Adding her thoughts to it, Young hilariously added, “Yep, what she said.” This response has sent her fans into a frenzy. While her response has gone viral, we cannot forget her impact on the court in Paris so far.

Young finished the semi-final against Australia amassing 14 points on 6-8 shooting, 2 steals, and 5 assists within 20 minutes on the floor. Throughout this Olympic tournament, Young has unexpectedly turned out to be the team’s third-leading scorer and has swiftly adapted to a different role on the national team roster. Her profound defense has also earned her the moniker Baby LeBron by her Aces teammates, giving a glimpse of her physical strength.

Nonetheless, ahead of the gold medal game, Young has succeeded in setting the mood for the fans.

Fans can’t get enough of Jackie Young’s subtle humor

Responding to her low-key high-impact answer, fans are coming up with some hilarious reactions while they shower their love for the Aces guard. Reactions like, “Jackie said DITTO,” and, “Jackie said, copy & paste… smile”, and “Jackie is so basic and don’t talk much she like  ‘what she said, “ now cut lol,” dominated the comments section.

A fan then wrote, “Jackie is going to be Jackie apologetically!” Young’s hilarious response is so candid that it shows how she lets her game do all the talking while the WNBA’s silent assassin utters a handful on how she feels to be a part of Olympic history. But, yes, the Aces’ humor has caught on with her as she seems to have mastered the skill of making people roll on the floor effortlessly! That’s why the fans are saying, “Gotta love Jackie man!!!”

Moreover, her laid-back body language in the video reflects her mental calmness before the Olympic showdown and the confidence she is carrying in her game as if she is totally sure of winning gold. Seeing this attitude, a fan wrote, “Jackie!!! no stress!” while another one took it to the next level and wrote, “Jackie is me in meetings at work,” indicating the usual disinterest people have during official meetings.

Overall, Jackie Young has successfully put a smile on the faces of many as the team gears up for the final stop in their quest to win another Olympic gold and continue their historic journey.
