A conversation with USC's Cheryl Miller and JuJu Watkins

[@DesmondDaddy]

The GOAT and PRODIGY. If you didn’t see Cheryl play you missed something special, she was ahead of her time.

@@einsof88 How you figure? Cheryl Miller won back to back NCAA championships at USC. She is one of Juju’s biggest fans and mentors. And encase you didn’t know Cheryl is Reggie Millers older sister.

[@jexcel07]

[@damonlathe]

What Cheryl said is so powerful. No shoes to fill. Be you.

[@greyklopstock7155]

That's gotta be huge for Juju to hear. Cause the Cheryl comps were inevitable, and it could be easy for her to get in the habit of shot chucking to live up to it. But Cheryl telling her "just be you" is HUGE

[@SirGenesis206]

These two together making me teary eyed. Thank y’all for bringing Auntie Cheryl outside!

[@conundrumquill8486]

That’s Real Talk!! Gave me chills bro!! I love seeing young people in general enamored or just soaking in all that wisdom from their elder!! We need more of this!!

Cheryl is your aunt?

[@TheFORTYtude]

This was such a beautiful and raw interview. So much mutual respect between the two.

[@WMTVUSA]

Juju Watkins is like MJ and Kobe DNA Combined. She is a complete two-way player. I can't believe I didn't know about her until she went to USC. Paige Bueckers is like Magic Johnson and Lebron DNA. Caitlin Clark is the female Steph Curry. What a bright future in Women's Basketball!

[@amab1853]

Great analogy!! We're witnessing a historic time in women's basketball 🏀

[@daimonrichardson1853]

I got really emotional watching this CHERYL MILLER is a Living ICON

[@JohnGotty17]

A legend + a future legend in the making

[@skillz78]

And this my friends is what an OG is supposed to be.

[@na_k]

Instead of hating on future generations, the NBA old heads could take notes.

[@taylorferguson8883]

Facts.. I think the NBA players hard on them on camera but drop knowledge over the phone.. a lot of them mention it in the podcast.. example PG and Brandon Miller.

[@mobrown1198]

@@na_knah. The recently retired still young players. Nobody hates on the future generations more than the current generation. The entire culture is built on tearing down. Aside from Barkley, whose takes and criticisms are often spot on correct. Even Lebron and Draymond hate on the younger upcoming guys more than Barkley, and Shaq hates on all big men who don’t play like he does… except Bol Bol who he glazes relentlessly. The older generations have always given back to the game, have always paid homage to the history and gave the younger generation the insights and the insider knowledge to expound upon that. I really need younger generations to get out of their feelings and pay attention to who really “hates”who really tears down. Kendrick Perkins, JJ Reddick or any of these media talking heads aren’t OG’s. The TNT crew is different, they are paid analysts and are in that spot to offer critical analysis. They aren’t in mentor roles. Far different from a retired OG who still gives his time and input to help younger players. The NBA for decades had programs and mentors for young players, that went away when player empowerment was ushered in, new CBA, the old guard was out, as was many of the OG’s who were in place to assist younger players. Pay close attention to who’s hating. It ain’t the OG’s nah. It’s many of the recently retired. In their defense, most of them criticize the game itself. (Rule changes) and the effort of the players on defense, and how the competitive nature of the game is gone. Also it’s the younger generation that started the narratives about the past generations, they weren’t prepared for the backlash. It is a softer league, society is softer and more sensitive…. participation trophy era, the if it ain’t glazing it’s hate generation ~ political correct, and respectability politics. Super sensitive generation.. the generation where the bare minimum deserves recognition. Nobody is hating. Life is unfair, and not everyone is going to like you. Cope .

This was a wonderful experience to see a Legend of Basketball like Cheryl Miller who I think is the greatest Women's player of all time and if not is on a very very short list offer truly heartfelt praise and wisdom to the next Legend of Women's Basketball JuJu Watkins and you can tell how much respect they both have for each other and you could see how Cheryl was there to offer real support and make it clear this JuJu's time but also to make sure she enjoys the experience that College can bring but to stay on the goal of Winning a National Championship before she leaves USC.Pure Class by both Women Fight On!!
