Sabrina is awesome. Can't wait to see her get a championship.

[elizabethsoro]

Sabrina is so likeable. Quieter than others, it's appealing. Mysterious quality to her personality, I really like her.

[chessmentor]

Love her advice esp. on "form shots". Sabs will be a marvelous coach and stupendous commish someday!! P.S. Assist-machine Vandersloot is "only" 5 eight

[yemanator]

She’s a huge reason why I started watching the WNBA. Liberty fan for life!

[jampeanutbutter]

After the playoffs I hope she can shoot 3s with Curry like they both agreed to after she won the 3 point contest.

I started going to Liberty games this year and the vibe at Barclays is fantastic. I hope they make it to the finals so I can see them again!

Let’s go Liberty!

Jackie Young wears Stewie's shoes. But will she wear them if they play each other in the finals??

[JaceBarretto]

Sabrina a dope baller, hope she brings Liberty the championship this season. Lets get it!

[BolitaDeKetica]

Advocate for change, as in GET WOMEN TO COME TO THE GAMES, and actually support the league. Getting involved

[zeaferjones]

I'm a Sabrina fan and although she is intense I'm not sure I'd consider her a tomboy. Her former teammate Satou Sabally and her teammate now Laney are very girly with the way the are off the court.

[israelPoplife]

Women are more aggressive than men in pro basketball nowadays. And that's a good thing for wnba.

[t.ojohnson]

Why no one going in on her the way they did skylar diggins and so many others? & I'm a sabrina fan I'm just saying!!!

[briananderson]

What a great role model n person n kinda yea kinda pretty😅 very nice woman.

[JessicaChastainFan]

Sabrina is a champion! The WNBA is way more exciting than the NBA. The objectively verifiable truth is that there's more at stake with the WNBA for the women. The men play a game just to get rich. The women play the game because it's fun, and they get to empower and support women, the LGBTQIA community and even young girls who are getting into basketball.

1:28 what she says here is a lie. There is no argument to support it. If the line is closer and the ball is smaller of course its easier.

[asahel]

i have to disagree with tomboys and yes playing basketball you have to act rough and she looks rough with those biceps and many players depicted in this video have developed muscle in their arms.

[davebudge]

A smaller ball, lines closer to the basket yet if NBA greats like Shaq advices to lower the basket to enable the admittedly athletic players to slam dunk and you've a emeny for life ....I just don't get it.

[zachbalko]

Wnba players get paid less than men cause Taylor swift is watching the NFL and not you. Please take her
