    Never heard of her until she spoke at Kobe's memorial. Now that I've paid attention to her I've become very impressed with her great accomplishments and competitive spirit (Mamba Mentality)! Hope she lands on the Sparks 💜💛

    So lucky to see her in person play, so sad not to see Oregon finish their story, but winning the Pac-12 so commandingly was a victory in itself. The strength of the Pac-12 women's basketball was amazing to see this season. And most of all, inspiring thousands of people of all ages and genders in their community and beyond with the same pride and dedication traveling with them to see them play this magical season, is something to treasure forever. Inspiration will always live on and Sabrina the symbol of inspiration and staying for her senior season that much more magical a legacy for the program to grow on. Thank you ESPN for covering her story and her friendship with her brother. Inspiring and relatable to so many.

It sends a better message to kids coming up...your getting a free education at a top university and even if you do go pro there will always be life after your career. Its pretty scandalous how these university's make so much money of their athletes and the only compensation they get is a full ride scholarship...if you go to the draft your sophomore then just be honest it was never about your education 😂

      How many championships did Charles Barkley win? How many championships did Vince win? How many championships did Allen Iverson won?
      And again Sabrina will win championships in the WNBA level, she would very likely have won the NCAA championship this season had the tournament not been canceled

    I know that probably nobody else thinks the same way I do but imma say it anyway. In the thumbnail, the 1 where she stares at the camera kinda makes her look like a long hair having version of Rob Dyrdek.
