Atlanta Dream guard Jordin Canada set a screen on New York Liberty forward Jonquel Jones — who is easily twice her size — and we cannot stop laughing.
When Atlanta traded for Jordin Canada in the offseason, they knew they were getting a dawg. Jordin is a two-time WNBA champion who has led the league in steals twice and earned herself All-Defensive First Team honors.
In other words, at just 5-foot-6 in a league where most players are going to be easily taller than her, Jordin has never shied away from balling out. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Jordin set a screen on the Liberty’s Jonquel Jones, who is 6-foot-6, without hesitation.
