I went to high school with her and her sisters, her mom was my vice principle. When I tell you this family EXUDED excellence, that would be an understatement. So happy and proud to see her being interviewed on this show!
Like she said, it’s in our blood...sports and academics, we dominate. That’s why white Americans cling so hard to their privilege. All things being equal, there’s no such thing as white supremacy.
I see a recommendation from Trevor Noah, I click. I see a Nigerian as d guest, I click, click, click and click! Love love her hair. Didn't know her b4 this, now I'm just gonna stalk her. Such beauty and elegance! 💖💖💖
and its shameful too, that they ask more percentage when their team arent even making money, if dont like they way its run, and doesnt have any idea to make ppl watch wnba, just silence or go oversea if money that they want
Don't worry, I'm Cameroonian and I love Nigeria. In college in europe is lived with some wacky Nigerians (trust me) but that doesn't change my feelings for Nigeria. We're behind you, keep thriving and do not forget to put your trust in Jesus Christ.
Thank you Trevor for having her, when I saw her name, I knew I had to click to watch because it's so close to home, and now i look forward to being a big fan of WNBA
I like Nneka and her sister Chiney but it's sad that she's really pleading us to watch the WNBA, she said, "to just have the TV on and let it play" even if we're not watching the game. How about we make it more exciting to watch by lowering the rim from 10ft to 9ft so more WNBA players can dunk, creating rivalries in the league that people care about and creating a narratives with commercials. Don't beg people to watch you play. Nneka and other WNBA players deserve better.
@KEM 77 i know basketball is more than dunking but the average fan doesn't watch the NBA for skill. They like to watch Stars do things they can do, like Zion, Lebron, Giannis, Russ dunking, Steph Curry, James Harden, KD shooting 3s. Why not make the game more entertaining for the WNBA by highlighting the skills the women players have rather than trying to play the same way the men do. Because for the past 20-30 years, it hasn't been working
[sarcasm]Yeah, we could lower the hoop on the man's court so more men players could dunk, yeah, you have a point there [/sarcasm] One day there won't be two leagues, just a basketball league where people will play on a team, regardless of gender
raymond akalonu I had never heard of it, but, as I love new tastes I’ve googled it already and will be making it one of these days! There is a new African supermarket near where we live and I’m sure they will have the melon seeds.
Depends. I'd personally have mine with a side of Okra soup, chocked full of smoked mud fish, cow hides and boiled cow entrails. Washed down with palm vinegar. I spent 3 years working in Nigeria in the oil sector. Those years where amazing.
I think its important to notice that many women athletes are equally capable of leading their teams in earning money, expanding the business, etc. She's not just a great player, but she's fully aware of all the other elements of professional sports & how to utilize them.
I love this girl....I love her sister...and I really love this interview!! Rep in your Nigeria green girllllll....you rock! ...but trevor's pronunciation tho🤔
Absolutely, women need to support women in sports now more than ever! I mean they are an inspiration to many young girls and the least we can do to show our support is to watch them play
saran tarun When I State that women’s need the support of women’s , I’d like to be specific and that those that absolutely love sport and understand enough that those women’s are represent the many great women’s around the world, and I mean by all women’s! It’s a free will to support or not, it should be understood that way!
Philip Reger It’s one’s free will to support or not support anything for that matter. For me Sport is a universal language where most ppl can get connected with.!
Great work Trevor for using your show to promote first/second generation African Americans. Proud of you man. I've got to know about a lot of Nigerian-Americans here lately
Now THIS IS A FEMINIST.... don't blame, don't bitch, just show and improve your excellence and build and empower because of the platform you created on your own... Respect to this WOMAN!
I'm going to float a thought, here. Could it be that _part_ of the blame for this inequality stems from the fact that the NBA for _men_ is just called "the NBA," while the NBA for _women_ is called "the _WNBA?"_ Might it make more sense to call the NBA for _men_ "the _MNBA?"_
Fauler Perfektionist it stems from sexism and a time where women weren’t even allowed to play professionally. The name might help but it’s not where it began I think
@@izzywoods794 Well, I'm not suggesting that this is where it _began,_ but by continuing to call the NBA for _women_ "the _WNBA,"_ could it be that society reinforces this image of basketball as a sport that has to be _modified_ in order to make it _for women?_
I’ve always had this issue. Because it implies that the men’s league it standard but it’s fair because they existed first and the WNBA is a branch of the NBA. The worse is on the college lvl ppl refer to men’s college basketball as college basketball they always add the women’s but never the men’s b4 college basketball
@Sudhir Kakar Yes Goddess! And So are you if you like, if not ,ok. I Like sharing , to any open to only love and light , original Heart of All Hearts positiveness !!!! Bless Your Heart Always!!!!
Lowering the basket so that more players can dunk won't help. No matter how great a player is, people just don't take women's sports seriously. Basketball, Soccer, Softball to name a few. I think the only sport people will flock to is Tennis. But for the WNBA and NWSL (which Kobe Bryant was a great supporter of) people just see it as a joke. But I think it's just jealousy from some men who can't handle a woman being more talented than what they think they are when they sit on the couch yelling how much better they can do.
I am your big fan sir from INDIA. Namaste. I always watch your video any time ,any where. In the bus, toilet, during bed time. I like your English and i am learning from you the way of speaking skill
Thank you Trevor Noah and your producers for having her on because there is definitely a misunderstanding and a lack of knowledge about the WNBA amongst people! Lets support these women!
I’m not a sports person. And when I say that I mean I’m the person who shouts “go person with the ball!” That being said I will go and watch and support WNBA because this is so important.
