man I love this interview as a new sparks fan, this was so good just wanting to get to know more about her since she's been leading the team and working hard every game

[@Raine_Soke]

I love and miss dearica already 😢 she was my favorite she plays so hard and reminds me of when I used to play wishing her nothing but the best 💙💙

[@user-vv3uy1qz7h]

Dearica is my wife 100 💍🖤🖤

[@bear-cy7gi]

Fully support Miss Hamby..

[@KeepItReal-e6n]

Much SUPPORT to you, Dearica! STAND for SOMETHING and STAND STRONG! THANK YOU for your courage & will for the TRUTH!

[@cliquesnvues]

I don't understand she had her first baby with the organization...what changed

[@richs6926]

I hope Dearica wins her lawsuit or gets a settlement that includes all the compensation she asked for in the suit. I'm happy for her now, because I think Curt Miller is a genuinely kind, thoughtful person. She got the best coach in the league in my opinion, and she's a fantastic player.

Everything is coming to light …. As we speak

[@theresavasquez7852]

I am glad that you know your rights as a woman! You are an inspiration to me nd I also proud of you to be a mom nd a WNBA champion ❤

[@cliquesnvues]

One of my college teammates was literally pregnant while playing.

[@bernardriggs2079]

The truth is she’s a bad ass, she’s tough , some draft picks can’t make it coming off a college season and yet she’s in after pregnancy. That’s badass

[@user-yp4vi5mb4s]

Go just keep searching and I'm happy she's following her passion with another franchise

[@dwaynerose9315]

Good interview "fresh start" is good, W Players do have babies (remember Sheryl Swoops)! ps. Ms.CL-F is a pretty woman, as is Hamby

[@williamwilson9283]

All the best to you Dearica. 😊

[@juanmachado1844]

I love Dearica and I will give her a standing O when she she comes to play in Vegas. I think knowing the options she had being pregnant were limited and the Aces made a business move. We know it sucks but no one was a winner un this squabble. I think the CBA needs to implement a black and white policy on pregnancies while under contract. This whole sitution sucked

[@richs6926]

It looks like the CBA already had this in place. A team is prohibited from trading a player due to pregnancy: According to the WNBPA Executive Director, Terri Carmichaeal Jackson's statement, "in the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement . . . Any team can trade any player for any legitimate reason or no reason at all. But that reason can never be on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, parental status, or pregnancy status." (shown in a Mick Talks Hoops podcast)

She is a great hustle player and all around solid but aces had a chance to get the goat so it wasn’t a tough choice. Hamby was a fan favorite though. I think the aces didn’t think they could get Parker so they told hamby she was good

[@JS-nk4tn]

This is a very strong, courageous, resilient women. She deserves our support for her bravery to expose the abuse by the WNBA. I hope heads will roll.

[@rogerjerabek9574]

Salute!!!

The WNBA has started a rift and division. They waited until the Canada game was over and the Aces Media Day. Messy and wrong on the WNBA. I think mediation would've been a good resolution. Becky Hammon reminds me of Pat Summitt. ijs She keeps it real. I think the Aces handled a difficult situation the best way that they could. I mean love and hate it Candace Parker is face of the WNBA. I don't blame them for adding Candace Parker.

[@Magnus055]

Hamby is a gem, admired & looked up to, beautiful woman.

[@daveparker5541]

Did she cheat on her husband with the former Cowboys player?

[@abcdefg3301]

Playing the victim card.

[@bernardriggs2079]

You know dang well they let her go because she was pregnant and to make a play at Parker. If my memory serves me right I think the players union recently fought for pregnancy leave

[@abcdefg3301]

I miss my sexyy beautiful wife dearica already now that the season is over 💍🖤🖤

[@MikieGoodwin-ed9rt]

Wow so being a shitty player has nothing to do with you being traded. And let's be real if you are professional at a high level in any field they aren't going to appreciate you taking 9 months off. Stop expecting everyone to eat the cost of your life choices. Want a career playing basketball or do you want to be a mother. Being a mom is fine, balling is fine too. You don't seem like a bad person but the entitlement people have today is crazy.

Dam Becky, put the burner phone down. You've done enough already!
