“I also want to make one thing very clear, I intend to play basketball for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury this season," BG wrote shortly after her release, adding she wished to thank everyone who advocated on her behalf while she was locked up.near Moscow in February 2022 after Russia claimed she was caught attempting to smuggle vape cartridges into the country. BG wasn't unknown to Russia ... she previously hooped overseas, where players can earn a more lucrative salary.

Griner was drafted by the Mercury with the first overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft. She led Phoenix to a WNBA title in 2014. BG is an 8x All-Star and 2x scoring champion. The 6'9" center also led the league in blocks 8 times.

Who cares!

There are still Americans detained in Russia.

Hopefully she play better.

Who the F cares

Need to send her ass back to RUSSIA

No one cares! It’s a goof

Hope they make him stand and sing the national anthem at every home game

Yeah, that dude should still be in a Russian jail

I thought we weren’t allowing men on a woman’s team

What a hero check him test for testosterone

Good for her. Don’t be a hater. It’s not good for the soul. And it takes up to much of your energy. Be happy for people. 💯 Just like you’d want them to be happy for you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

She should still be there. Biden prisoner swaps a real threat to society for some basketball player and leaves behind a member of our military. Disgusting.

So

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Who cares Why should anyone care about this person that has no respect for this country or the people in it

Heavy weapon arms dealer for this dude? I would rather watch the heavy weapon arms dealer play basketball.

Who cares

All the jealous karens in Here is sad. I would b embarrassed to be white

Gross

Another loser man who can’t make it with his own gender so he resorts to mental illness to play against girls. What a freaking loser & a F-ed up society for turning a blind eye! 🖕

Watch out if you're in the showers with her

Viktor Bout also signed a contract, worth 50B, guaranteeing to wage war against Nato and the US, destroying anyone in his path. 🤡.

If it was anyone else that broke a law and broke the rules of the league of NO DRUGS, they would of been fired and not gotten another contract. This is such bull shit

Did the Marine left behind get a contract also?

🤢

They should protest wherever this human goes - boycott - it disgusts me that our country thinks she is worth saving when real heros are over there in prison … talk about messed up priorities-

Congratulations BG!

He should not of been freed

Why did I think she was still in Russia😂😂😂

Idgaf about TRAITORS and low life scumbags. He didn't learn a thing. Should of stayed in Prison in China

Hopefully that international criminal gets boo’d but probably not since the only people that go to WNBA games are the staff

Disrespectful ingrate better stand for the national anthem next time. 😉

Don’t care

👎👎🖕🖕

Isn't he a real dude playing at a female vibrance level? That is a pathetic strive for a dude who's transformed himself from his weak self to an even weaker self himself that is absolutely weak as hell.

She sucks , bring her home but leave a us marine in Russia .

And nobody will watch it.

Oh

How many blunts has she smoked since being out

I wish him the best playing against women

Shouldnt she be a suspended or something!! Seems like she being rewarded for breaking the law in Russia!!

🤦‍♀️

🤮

No one cares

🤮🤮🤮

B F D

Another man playing on a WOMEN'S team! When will this stop?!

Ban her from the league until Paul comes home too.

but wait, hold up, wtf is this? call the pronouns detective

She better drop 60

I ate spicy penne today.

She hates America. What about the marine still in jail in Russia who fought and lived America?

No thanks

Meanwhile they got their Russian bomb expert back

I hope she wears a bigger jockstrap to keep her penis in..!

Has she tried to help anyone else get out of jail since she’s been back? Or just smoking weed and thinking she deserved Biden to bail her out.
