Strange!!!Rebekkah Brunson, 31-year-old and eight-months pregnant led the Minnesota Lynx thursday night to win the atlanta dream,their second WNBA championship in three years.
Brunson, a 6-foot, 2-inch tall, 215-pound power forward who
recently entered her third trimester, averaged 26 points and 14 rebounds
in the series and was by all accounts the Lynx’s biggest threat on both
ends of the floor.
“Rebekkah was really the difference-maker, there’s no question
about that,” said Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve, adding that Brunson’s
low-post game has drastically improved since putting on 40 pounds over
the past few months. “She did it all—blocking shots, snagging rebounds,
and absolutely dominating in the paint. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen
a player just blow through the lane like that. No one could guard her.”
many analysts said the highlight of the entire series came when
Brunson knifed through three Dream defenders during a fierce drive to
the basket, which the eight-months pregnant forward finished with an
acrobatic teardrop layup.
Her expected delivery date is November 8,2013.
