Skylar Diggins-Smith Joins Q and D | Knuckleheads Quarantine: E7 | The Players' Tribune
Спорт
Indiana LEGEND Skylar Diggins-Smith joins the fellas for this week’s episode of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. Sky talks about being a highly recruited high schooler, and why it was so important to stay close to home when she went to college. She also dishes on what she loved about the rivalry that Notre Dame has with UCONN. D and Q give her kudos for putting ND women’s hoops on the map. She discusses being the first female athlete signed to Roc Nation and what her first phone call with Jay-Z was like. She then moves on to her time in the WNBA - her years in Tulsa, what it was like to play with Liz Cambage in Dallas, and what she’ll be looking forward to when she steps on the court with Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner in Phoenix. Finally, Skylar touches on the social climate in the country and gives her perspective on how we can all be better. Skylar Diggins-Smith, a walking bucket since middle school, tells it all.

Skylar’s college basketball run with Notre Dame was legendary forreal. Man what a time it was
Knuckleheads what about Dawn Staley? She's a baller's baller. Don't see point guards like her anymore. One of Philly's finest.

I went to Rutgers 09-13 got to see her and Maya Moore when i was in college. Sky put 24 on our heads and maya dropped 22 and 17 rebounds basically in the second half. College basketball was great no matter where you was at around that time. #bigEAST

Skylar is being very modest....Since Skylar was in 3rd grade she has always been the best player on any court including boys. Couple people made it out of south bend, but everyone in the city knew she would be the one to put South Bend on the map. She is a national superstar. South Bend Superstar. The best thing about that is she doesn’t act like one. She always shows love anytime she is home. She is South Bend’s Pride.
Thank yall for having more wnba players, legends and giving them another platform to showcase and talk about themselves! Yall are real ones! Forreal! 😁
I went to elementary and middle school with her. I remember gym and recess I could never play on her team because I was one of the bigger ones. So to make it fair she would insist I play on the opposition. Her character alone was great. Always knew she would make it.

Dope interview. Hell it doesn't even seem like a interview. She seem like one of the homies. Even though she is very beautiful, but she got that home girl feel to her. Shout out to Q, and the Blackest one. Y'all doing big things man. Y'all keep that shit up and continue to pay attention the ladies. Y'all do y'all homework too, and that's big business.
Fighting Irish been my team since David rivers, so to see Sky come from south bend and prosper the way she did is fantastic man the show u have put together is really magnificent I Meant just watching the female greats tell they story is good to watch keep me going.

Great webisode...
My lil baby 🤩😍🤩‼️
u see what skylar was talking about when she said its so competitive cause theirs not a lot of teams and she said we need more teams. That's what the nba was like in the 60s. Not get it twisted the nba is a bit more athletic when it comes to vert and strength. But the players were very good back then too cause their was only 8-12 teams in wilts era. So alot of great talent was left off. Hell if u adjust jerry west shooting percentage for todays era. He's shooting over 53% and he's a pg. No pg is doing that nowadays.
So it's official that the "Blackest One" comment is no longer being utilized in the intro.😂

When/If WNBA expands, the new teams should be in cities where there are no NBA teams, like Buffalo, New York. Buffalo’s WNBA team could be the Buffalo Braves/BraveHearts. Buffalo sports fans mad loyal... look at the Bills stadium numbers 😂👌🏽
Skylar diggins you are very very very very beautiful
