Napheesa Collier appeared on First Take on Tuesday morning using an internet connection that was a delightful throwback to the start of the pandemic when everyone was still getting used to Zoom calls. After a delay introduction from co-hosts Molly Qerim, Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe, Collier answered questions about JuJu Watkins, March Madness and most importantly, the possibility of a WNBA lockout.
Echoing what Angel Reese had previously said about the possibility, Collier, a perennial MVP candidate who just took the Minnesota Lynx to the WNBA Finals, sounded confident in the players' position and made it sound like the players were prepared for a lockout.
