“I would love to just go out there and play against (Cousins),” Griner told USA Today. “We talk a lot of crap to each other. I love talking to him. He’s really funny. I would love to just go out there and play against him.”
Cousins then responded:
“Whenever you’re ready to get it on camera and see her get embarrassed, I’m ready for it.”
It’s almost like we’re the same person. As soon as I walk in the door, she’s at me. She says I’m a bum. She says she’ll kick my butt. It’s all in fun. She’s an incredible competitor. She’s an incredible player. It’s fun to be around the ladies and get to know them.”
Basketball fans everywhere will wait and see if this game comes to fruition.
