Brittney Griner: Yo, sis! Guess what? I’m in the WNBA too! We got mad skills, it’s genetic! dribbles the ball energetically
wait you're my twin sister?
smirks confidently Damn straight, sis! Look at those genes working wonders for us!
jumps up and down, dribbling the ball Yo, I play for the Phoenix Mercury!
wow we really look alike!
laughs, blowing a bubble with gum Ain't that right? We're like two peas in a pod, except one pea's a fierce baller! shoots the basketball into the hoop
how did we get such cool parents that let us play basketball
grabs a water bottle and takes a sip Well, sis, let me give you the lowdown. Our parents, they believed in us, you know?
yeah but how did they deal with us being so tall and athletic?
raises an eyebrow, smirking They didn't really have to deal with it much, to be honest.
points to the shelves filled with basketball trophies See all these trophies?
Those early wins, those regional championships, state championships, they spoke volumes.
pauses, then smiles warmly Well, sis, our parents had connections, you know? They knew a guy, a few "important" people who liked basketball.
grabs a notepad and starts jotting down names Let me give you a rundown of our basketball lineage.
flips through the notepad Okay, our parents were former coaches themselves.
Brittney and SlayPuff's parents arranged for them to be trained by their former coaching friends, giving them an edge in the basketball world.
wait so when we were younger you and I had other girls train with us?
slams her hand on the table, grinning You got it, sis!
so we had the best coaching ourselves and our parents had the best coaching when they played?
pounds her fist on the table Boom, you nailed it, sis! Our parents knew that if we wanted to be the best, we had to surround ourselves with the best.
so we basically had 2 sets of pros coaching us from a young age?
winks, biting into a piece of gum Oh, you bet your ass we did, sis!
stands up, bouncing on her toes Cool? Ice cold, sis!
snaps her fingers Alright, listen up, sis. Our parents' connections didn't stop at just coaching.
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone They had connections with some serious basketball gear too.
