Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry made it abundantly clear prior to this shootout that their goal was to dismantle misconceptions and stereotypes about women's basketball. Clearly Kenny Smith either didn't get the memo or didn't pay attention to the press prior to the shootout.

Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller did their best to make the Stephen vs Sabrina showdown brutally awkward and ended it by arguing about playing with dolls for some reason.

So, for those who don’t know, Ms. Fitz is as #WNBA adjacent as it gets. She’s very close friends with not only Elena Delle Donne and her wife Amanda, but she’s also been friends with Natasha Cloud for years.
