WNBA star Brittney Griner describes how she was bullied as a child and how basketball helped her cope with depression and open up to her mother about her sexuality. Griner’s talents on the basketball court took her to Baylor University, where she led the team to the 2012 national championship, and she was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2013 WNBA draft by the Phoenix Mercury. Griner also discusses her 2015 domestic violence arrest on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an argument with fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson, her then-fiancée. Griner also details how she matured and grew as a person while playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg in the Russian Premier League.

    That's crazy that she's gotta pay child suport and can't get anyone pregnant.
  • @2Slay3
    Wasn’t this the girl that thought she can beat DeMarcus Cousins in a 1v1?
  • @MrGSticks
    Her voice makes Barry white sound like a soprano.
  • @Sharroniw

  • @brasstacksboxing409
    She may have a deeper voice, but she still carries the beautiful traits of a woman. Pretty hair, skin tone, and a beautiful smile.
  • @ashleyyoung5180
    When she did this interview I bet she could’ve never imagined exactly how much Russia would ultimately changed her life .

    Does everyone just ignore the giant adam's apple? Or do you really not see it?
  • @sherecebennett9349
    She's been through and is still going through times, this is most likely God trying to call out to her. I moved overseas to get a better pay and I was lonely at first. But I started reading my Bible and building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now I know my true purpose. And God brought the right people and influences in my life. I pray that for Brittney.

    Deep voice - flat chest - adams apple - 6'9 tall - all hallmark signs of being a women.

    What a great opportunity for her to become fluent in Russian. And she doesn't even have to pay a tutor. Some people have all the luck.
