Duha ka kanhi NBA first-round picks, nagpadayag og intensyon nga mosalmot sa WNBA!
NAGPADAYAG og intensyon sa pagsalmot sa 2027 Women’s National Basketball Association Draft ang duha ka kanhi NBA first-round picks!
Samtang nagpadayong kwestyonable ang trangender athlete policy sa liga.
Gihimo nilang former NBA first-round picks, Enes (E-NES) Kanter Freedom and Royce White ang draft entries aron kwestyunon ang mga lagda nga nagpalibot sa eligibility sa WNBA.
Matud ni White nga buot niining masayran ang mga restriksyon.
“..Earlier this week, I made the announcement. I’m transgender. I’m a woman.
I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional basketball. So I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well. I mean, I think I’d be unstoppable, you know, but I’m a team first guy, you know, I’m a pass first kind of player.
I do the little things, you know, I led my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa State University. So I do a little bit of everything. I’ll do whatever the coach needs me to do.
I’ll do whatever the girls need me to do. I think the WNBA could come out and make a definitive statement about guys with a pair of balls playing in the Women’s Association. But you know, hey, that’d be probably too much like right.
And I don’t want to be discriminated against. I want fair treatment. I’m a black, I’m a young black, hopefully, United States Senator, that would like a fair chance to participate as a sometimes identifying as a transgender woman athlete..”
