- WNBA star Brittney Griner describes how she was bullied as a child and how basketball helped her cope with depression and open up to her mother about her sexuality. Griner’s talents on the basketball court took her to Baylor University, where she led the team to the 2012 national championship, and she was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2013 WNBA draft by the Phoenix Mercury. Griner also discusses her 2015 domestic violence arrest on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an argument with fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson, her then-fiancée. Griner also details how she matured and grew as a person while playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg in the Russian Premier League.

@ 0:20 I thought her dad was talking about her as a child.... Damn 😭😂😅
The Anonymous Black Kid Same
Chill bruh 😂😂
I THOUGHT IT WAS HER BROTHER 😭

Lol same

That's a Man!!! Adam's 🍎. 🤣
Her voice makes Barry white sound like a soprano.

Makes beta males sound like chipmunks.
THATS MAMA
SHE A GUY
@@alexbird1695 *he
She's almost the same stature of Ekaterina Lisina and Lisina has a much thinner voice 😮😮.
Same goes by Natalia Vieru, once her teammate in UMMC Ekaterinburg.
Does everyone just ignore the giant adam's apple? Or do you really not see it?
Well if its there? The Wnba league hasnt lmao
Women do have them
Wasn’t this the girl that thought she can beat DeMarcus Cousins in a 1v1?
Yes 😂
"Its ok little man" hahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha
@Platinum Hoopsits because she is not a girl. She identifies as Shaq
@Emerson O you are funny
@Emerson O you are beyond delusional. Cousins is the best true center of the nba. Wnba is immeasurably worst than the nba. 2 girls can dunk on the whole league. In the NBA is mandatory to dunk, even for veterans. She is horribly unpolished on basic skills, and could be easily overpowered by ANY player in the NBA, let alone one of the strongest ones.
She may have a deeper voice, but she still carries the beautiful traits of a woman. Pretty hair, skin tone, and a beautiful smile.
Brock Nichols yes...🏀💯
I would climb that tree
You must be fucking blind
Isn't her name brittney not britany
Micheal. B Jordan Hey Michael & It's Britney 💯
I can't believe she's still going to protest the anthem
And???
The only reason why she protested the national anthem was because of the Black Lives Matter movement. She was portray the deaths of Breonna Taylor and other black parole killed by police. If you weren’t so freaking ignorant and did research you would have known that she was protesting for the lives of all black people in America 🙄
@@LyricMaster154 close enough. I dont think it had anything to do with “black lives matter- the movement”. We’ll never know because we don’t personally know Brittany, we can only assume. But its her right as a human being to protest for sure. And that she did. But yea that guy is ignorant. Probably a troll anyways
@@u.r.i.a.h. You’re such a beta loser liberal it’s crazy to me
@@kajuskup375 trolls will never win with me. Bye felicia
She's been through and is still going through times, this is most likely God trying to call out to her. I moved overseas to get a better pay and I was lonely at first. But I started reading my Bible and building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now I know my true purpose. And God brought the right people and influences in my life. I pray that for Brittney.
EXACTLY!! YOU SAID IT SO RIGHT! I ALSO THINK THAT IT IS A CALL FROM GOD BECAUSE I THINK SHE IS A GOOD SOUL..
God told her to get high?? Is that what you're saying? Or did god tell her to disrespect the national anthem? Both?
Yes I said the same thing. I pray that she finds the lord in this situation that she is in now. Honestly she has been through a lot and you can tell she is very broken. I pray Jesus shows up and she gives her life to him.
I should look into better paying jobs overseas I thought the only work I could get overseas outside of the military was being a contractor in a war zone when we’re at war
🙏 Amen
That's crazy that she's gotta pay child suport and can't get anyone pregnant.

I’m like am I crazy I know what I see😕
Probably intersex. So she is a woman, but has a lot of male traits. It's rare but people are born that way.

Nice to see encouraging comments for once.
I seen her just last week at a mall in arizona. She was in a wheel chair. And nobody noticed her except me
Maybe back issues. She's too big to be doing all that running and dunking. I hope she's OK. I like BG. She's been thru a lot and I hope she finds peace. Keep balling.

@@natashka1982 there's a bigger problem than preference or fondness for the place now
Well she wrote her own future. The problem is…she has issues that have never been addressed. She got too big for her own britches, once again. Now she’s begging the US to get her “home” even though she had turned her back on America. Too big for her own good! Sad that we have many young adults in the same situation, sort to say, that just don’t grow up.
10 times her US salary, Wow!
Monique UU million
Yep...WNBA players are paid pittance compared to NBA....it’s why they go overseas and have to play the entire year

@@wizzyone1555 they are absolutely nothing compared to NBA players and to be very honest they really aren't good. I've seen retired D3s beating wnba superstars.

If she was a man she'd be able to dunk better
Y’all are living under a rock, that is a man to a female playing WNBA league lol
I bet if they tested her, she would have more testosterone than the average female. Her voice is soo deep.
You can tell she's a girl
Russia has equal rights for everyone! If you break the law, you'll go to jail!
How come NBA players can't date cheerleaders but WNBA players can date each other? Lol
TheDeadPunch da fuck you talkin about?
Lol. Bronsexuals triggered cause i called your boy out for them loooong ass hugs. How will you defend him for posting videos of himself dancing naked in skin tights?
TheDeadPunch when dudes hug after the series it's a long embrace because they usually be talking to each other ear to ear while doing so. They have to get close also because it's usually loud during those moments.
Tom Storm: I get what they're doing; it's just the visual comes off a little strange, imo. It was a weak joke playing off the first comment. I was irritated that he posted that half naked dancing vid in his gym.

If it's not already cut off. Notice in the video the pictures are from a baby to when he is in middle school wanting to get the change.
0:20 I thought it was her dad or someone else talking at first
it’s crazy that WNBA players get paid more outside of the US. It’s weird that female basketball players are valued more outside of America. I always found it hard to understand.
Larissa Reyes Its because the US has better males at nearly everything, so a women that's great in her league wouldn't scratch the surface of a top 50 nba player, so when she leaves and goes over seas she's more treasured
Larissa Reyes revenue my friend.
top 10000 you mean.
Larissa Reyes What's hard to understand the NBA is in America the WNBA is a lesser valued product here. Duh
Larissa Reyes they’re all garbage
There is some kind of disturbing hormonal imbalance going on with this person.
The most attention the WNBA has ever gotten 😂😂😂
Not to sound gross…but until we see what’s down there you will never convince me this is born female
These recent comments are despicable. If her biggest mistake is taking or holding a small amount of drugs that’s not something that deserves so much hate and vitriol.
@@vintage-red-carpetmasonic-38 that’s totally irrelevant to what’s happening in this case. Russian athletes using PED doesn’t really factor into this.

The child support got me lol 😆 I'm done.
If I may present my no-nonsense guide when traveling to a foreign country:
1. Check the State Dept Travel Advisories for the country you wish to travel to. If the country is at a Level 4/Do Not Travel status, then for the love of god don’t go!!
2. If you travel to other countries (including Level 4 countries if you've decided that the “do not travel” advisory doesn’t apply to you), research their laws. What is considered ok in the US may not be ok in other countries.
3. Dress conservatively so as to not attract undue attention to yourself. Any clothing or accessories of a political or religious nature are best left at home. Freedom of expression does not always apply in other countries.
4. Familiarize yourself with the customs and culture of the country you’re headed to. Learning a few words or phrases of the local language doesn’t hurt! Neither does being polite to anyone you come in contact with.
Ummmmm😕 she didn't come out really..... I mean everyone knew she was gay already. It's like if you see your car wet in the morning when you wake up, you knew it rained last night you just don't say it out loud. Lol
K Jizzle88 How?!?!? In the video she publicly announced she was gay! That’s how everyone knew!!!! She also told her mom and dad at home when the DIDNT know!! Dumbass
Ummmm....the point was that it was so obvious most people had already probably figured it out before being told.
K Jizzle88 .....This comment got me 😭😭😭😭☠☠☠☠☠
Just because she “looks gay” doesn’t mean she is. There’s a lot of women who look like men who are straight. Don’t be so stereotypical
Average Consumer Are you serious? A blind person could see she was a lesbian. Stop pretending gaydar is not a thing. Look at her. Listen to her voice. Stop playing stupid.
Interesting that both women were taken to jail during that domestic violence incident. When its a man/woman incident, usually it's the man hauled off. Woman walks away free. But in this case, the cops are faced with two positives. What do they do? Arrest the lot of them and let it come out in the wash.

Welcome to todays episode of Where Quarantine Has Gotten Me
How can her father deny her voice, it is extremely masculine 😮
Title should be changed to ‘WNBA star Brittney Griner’s evolution to Russian Prison’
Why do I get confused when people talk about “evolution” and they’re still the same person?
Michael G nobody is the same person baby everybody changes everyday that’s what evolution is
Who's that Dude
doesnt change the fact that she has belittled the nation that saved her from the russian jail system. from the country that she ran to for money.

A girl is tall, flat chested, deep voiced, and only today's society would decide, 'hey, you're gay.' The ridiculous irony of the same society 'defending' women's rights and self esteem so that they're not judged by their appearance but turn around and determine for these very people what they ought to be is incredibly ridiculous. This is a beautiful woman who, because of a perverse environment, accepted what society told her about herself. May the truth set her free.
Who told u to type this long ass shit
Her choice is she doesn't want to be a female...she wants to be a Man.
