At 00:38 that is me in the blue dress!!! I've met her quite a few times and I'm full blood Native American and me and my sister are 2 years apart and are on the same b-ball team!
I am from a small town in New Mexico on the Navajo Nation. Shoni, who has made such an inspirational impact on the Native communities, also to her own lifestyle which is very teaching to our tribes families and communities. Along with her sister, Jude Schimmel who is another star to the Schimmel family, I pray to the creator in blessing them with success beyond their limits and health to be pure, richness in their daily lives to always be protected and safe. God bless their family. Keep up your heart warming speeches and motives to teach others and our Native families about life, moving obstacles that are there as lessons, with our cultures to be taught and kept sacred. #MVOXO
It's great to see that they have such strong support! They're such great fundamental basketballers; not flashy, but so quick and versatile. All good luck to them in the future!
It would be so amazing if this story were made into a feature film, capturing the emotional journey of Schimmel on her tribe as she seeks to play pro ball. That would be amazing especially if the dialogue and the scenes captured an emotional appeal in its story similar to how Love & Basketball was Monica's story of wanting to play pro basketball while having her relationship with Quincy. Only thing is it would likely have to be an independent film so that high quality Native actors got cast for the roles .
dAM I hope Shoni can get back to her first year WNBA stats of 8.7 PPG and 6 APG and she'd be an asset to any team, heck she had All-Star selections. She needs to keep her butt in shape!
I love seeing women thrive when their race, and culture has been hated upon. Savagly ripped apart, and I am glad that not only men, but also women thriving in life!!!
Hello I am on my middle name usage TH-cam account, my first name is Moses. I am 9.3750% Cherokee, one of my great grandfathers was part Cherokee they had a Drew Campbell on the Rome Braves who played on the Rome BRAves. My old home house manager was a Native American who had a son that had a teammate I've seen multiple times plays for the Rome Braves
I followed her and her sister, jude. But everything comes to an end!!!! I know that from experience i was a baller but i retired.... I don't play no more 😢
Rez ball has similarities to inner city ball yes but a lot of differences,in Rez ball you share the ball its much more "we" not "me" team ball, than inner city ball is the great assist is applauded and there is more defense than in the non existent D in inner city ball
Too bad that's she on probation for a domestic violence. She's lucky she got that because she was looking at 15 yrs in prison..So much for being an example of a person who made it out of the REZ.. Hopefully she will take this as a lesson learned and become a better person in Life..Not basketball..Wish her the best.
Lmao Natives had to lose there real names and take in the names of the churches priest. You should know what your talking about before you speak on something. Dumbass.
Is a shame that the government doesn’t help the natives and help them overcome their struggles and invest in their education instead of send money to other countries for nonsense wars invest in America and ones and for all help the natives like they deserve

Hopefully she will take this as a lesson learned and become a better person in Life..Not basketball..Wish her the best.

Love the younger sister.... But older sister is a BIG Disappointment.
PUT SHONI IN JAIL
