“I have worked all my life for this moment, to be where I am today,” said Reese, the voice full of emotion. “But what’s going on now does not only concern basketball. These are people who don’t want to see me succeed, who want to demolish me whatever I do. It is not acceptable. »»

Reese’s words have sent a clear message to everyone who doubted her: she will not be silent. She targeted the hypocrisy of those who criticize her actions while celebrating those who adopt similar behavior. With a fierce determination, she swore to continue playing with the same passion and the same fire that brought her to the top.

“I will continue to do what I do,” she said. “I am not here to please anyone. I am here to win and I am here to be the best version of myself. They can’t take it off. »»

Reese’s powerful words found an echo with her supporters, who joined her following the interview. While she continues to dominate on the ground, it is clear that nothing, not even the most harsh criticism, will be able to break her morale.

The star of the Golden State Valkyries, Kate Martin, spoke of what contributed to his success during Unrivaled.

One of the most intriguing stories in the Women’s Basketball League UNRIVALED 3 × 3 so far is the success of the former Iowa Hawkeyes and current Golden State Valkyries star Kate Martin.

Although she was one of the youngest players in UNRIVALED, Martin shone in the three games of his LACES BC team (all won by the Laces). She obtained an average of 11 points per game while pulling at an effective pace, playing a solid defense and by displaying a high basketball Qi.

She contributed to 11 points on 5 successful shots out of 11 during the victory of her team 83-79 against Vinyl BC on January 24. And after the match, Martin talked about what allowed him to succeed in this offseason.

“It’s much appreciated, but I don’t know. I’ve always had confidence in myself, “said Martin when he was asked for the love that fans have shown him throughout Urivaled, according to an article by Moreau Sports Media.

“But it’s also fun because it’s 3 against 3, and it’s supposed to be fun. The goal is to really enjoy time with your teammates. And you don’t play with these people during the WNBA season, so it’s really fun to know everyone.

“And also because it’s so fun, it’s just going out on the field and playing freely,” added Martin. “And it will do wonders for a basketball player and for any athlete, to be able to go out on the field and play freely. »»

She then added: “I really tried to do this, and it was thanks to this guy to my right and all my teammates who believed in me … They believe so much in me, and it helps me. More than anything, it’s just about getting out on the ground and showing what you’ve worked on all about. »»

Everything seems to go for the best for Martin right now, on and off the field of UNRIVALED.
