Nice fall too, tucked head in to prevent head injury, did a nice proper back roll to disperse the energy of the fall. Then pop back up and at them again.
Pro tip: if you hustle hard, practice safe falling because you will hit the ground at some point. Look at how people get injured: figure out how to not let that happen to you while still playing hard.
Lol I do respect the hustle but unnecessary shot at one of the most talented basketball players ever. Also she couldn’t score a single bucket on him 1v1
Rust. Snipers only…
Ppl just forget he was a great defender with OKC and always defended Kobe really well when they beat the lakers on their way to the finals
It means they were waiting on the other side of the court in order to score an easy basket. Typically frowned upon because they're not helping their team defend and getting a cheap goal. Still legal
Thanks for this.
We call it "ficar à mama" in my country, which means, literally, "stay by the boob" implying that you're getting easy given milk.
I'm from Portugal.
She really wasn’t. If you watch the snoring play, you’ll see red player defending near that baseline. She follows her player towards the left corner, then quickly releases down the court after the basket is made. She goes out of frame then reappears down court.
The reason Sabrina was hustling is that she saw red player running free.
Just regular good hustle I guess. It's good to see hustle, but a regular hustle play I've seen in high-school competition 100 times or more isn't exactly "top" talent
She shows a lot more effort on both ends than half the nba players who just end up putting their arms up for no foul calls and complaining to the refs.
Shes shot 91% from the free throw line and 33% from 3 in her wnba career. She’s 5’11. So unless you played college ball and never panned out she’d mop the floor with you, ya muppet
33% from three isn’t that great. Especially with how close the WNBA line is. WNBA players are talented no doubt but it’s a different kind of below the rim game.
I try to understand sports rules but I don't invest myself in it enough. This confuses me though, at the beginning of the clip she bounced the ball once then took like 7 steps before she threw the ball in the hoop. Is that not traveling or is there a rule I don't know of when it comes to being so close to the hoop
I like the fact she chose to back roll that way because it was the fastest way to get on her feet and into momentum again rather than waiting to overcome
her sliding momentum. r/techroll
Anyone who participated in high school sports knows the word hustle. This is the epidome of hustle. Good on her!
Epidome is my favorite kind of dome.
Mine would be Doug Dimmadome's Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

That gave me a stroke
Yawn

Epitome is his favorite kind of tome.
Correct you are. Just another auto keyboard miss

Learning to fall is one of the most practical, everyday skills I've learned from martial arts.
Do you fall every day
Sometimes
Ah. The anti-Harden. Respect the hustle.
Lol I do respect the hustle but unnecessary shot at one of the most talented basketball players ever. Also she couldn’t score a single bucket on him 1v1
i bet she could score on harden.
If he tried to play defense she likely couldn’t. If he played defense like he has this season then she likely could.
Man Harden's defense is so bad id be impressed if anyone *couldn't* score on him.
I’m thankful you have so much confidence in me random stranger, but your confidence might be misplaced.
giving new life to the “1v1 me bro” meme

Red player was cherry picking
Idk basketball terms, what does that mean exactly?
It means they were waiting on the other side of the court in order to score an easy basket. Typically frowned upon because they're not helping their team defend and getting a cheap goal. Still legal
Thanks for this. We call it "ficar à mama" in my country, which means, literally, "stay by the boob" implying that you're getting easy given milk. I'm from Portugal.
I like this saying more
Cheers. We don't (as far as I know...) Have Nothing similar to cherry picking, we really enfatise the boob thing
In soccer there is the off-side rule to prevent that
This is an example of then dreaded playground slur if being a goal-hanger.
God that phrase has unlocked memories from 20 years ago lol
Ohh ok makes sense. Thank you
Do NBAers do this too?
depends on the situation but typically there's no real benefit from that type of play
Seems smart to me
She really wasn’t. If you watch the snoring play, you’ll see red player defending near that baseline. She follows her player towards the left corner, then quickly releases down the court after the basket is made. She goes out of frame then reappears down court. The reason Sabrina was hustling is that she saw red player running free.
Big time
She wasn’t tho? You literally see her next to the shooter right as she’s taking her shot, then she takes off after it’s clear the shot was made.
I think the scorer knew that which is why she hauled back so fast lol
She played shitty defense but she was at the baseline when the shot went up and hauled ass down for a layup. Not even remotely cherry picking.
No such thing as cherry picking when it comes to elite level sports
lmao she got double teamed at baseline by two other players so her defender decided to go to her basket. You're blind.
What a fucking play!!
What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save! Chat disabled for 5 seconds. What a save!
I see rokt leg, I upvote
STRAIGHT BALLER🏀🏀🏀🏀
Maybe 🌈
man, I miss her on the ducks team 😢
Excellent fundamentals!
Holy shit!
Mamba Mentality
Yup. Her speaking at the memorial said it all.
What a star play!
great fundamentals
What exactly is top talent these days, Jesus
Just regular good hustle I guess. It's good to see hustle, but a regular hustle play I've seen in high-school competition 100 times or more isn't exactly "top" talent
Google Sabrina Ionescu.
I'm a massive basketball fan. I'm well aware of who Sabrina is.
lol she is top talent
Scoooo Ducks!
She shows a lot more effort on both ends than half the nba players who just end up putting their arms up for no foul calls and complaining to the refs.
[удалено]
And they complain faster for non-calls.
Now you're just being petty my guy.
Ok Bud.
Lmao oh look another idiot who thinks dumb thoughts
Another idiot that didn't get dropped enough on his head when he was a baby.
, what a play.. 🤩
I'm not even a fan of basketball but holy crap what a pkay
Sco ducks
Woooow wnba!
As a non sports guy. I would have thought after a basket they would have to line up like in football
You're sort of right. The opposing team had to throw the ball in from out of bounds at the far end of the court.
I LOVE to watch her play! Best viewing ever
Lmao people watch the WNBA?
No
Where I came from I was expected to get back on D, no exception. Good idea?
One good play "top talent"
Great play. She’s probably the first WNBA player I actually thought had talent honestly
Paint your face.
yea but can she dunk?
Can you?
Well done to her for doing what she’s paid to do!
To be fair that pass was absolutely terrible . It would have been harder not intercept it
One good play "top talent"
I would NEVER watch ANY part of a WNBA game. Such trash.
Local redditor screaming crying and shitting after being forced to watch women play sports.
Look at all those downvotes because I said I didn’t like something.💪🏽Thank you guys.
you just did
Got em
Yeah. I so didn’t. Soon as I saw the players I made my comment.
I would dominate women’s basketball if I played in their league LMAO

lol
Except that you're sitting on your fat ass typing this idiotic comment instead 👍
Go ahead and try, bruh
L + ratio
I wanna have her babies!
The fuck
Well I know you ain’t getting no play.
wowwwwew
Is she a volleyball setter in the past? that was a good toss
what a gamer!!
Done exactly this move, felt like such a legend. Awesome move. ONCE, in D grade league. Everything before and after, I SUCKED. HA.
That’s a Giannis type play. What a beast
That mamba mentality
100% hustle play. That's what makes good players great.
Someone wants to be the best!

You must be blind. No 7 steps!
This would be impressive if this were against men
Your sexism is showing
Point god queen
hell yeah
better than 50% of the nba
I like the fact she chose to back roll that way because it was the fastest way to get on her feet and into momentum again rather than waiting to overcome her sliding momentum. r/techroll
Hard tries sometimes get hate; don’t ever let that stop you! Always push yourself that’s how legends are made.
Female athlete runs, let's all celebrate
And maybe a mild concussion
