Indiana Fever Shootaround Media Availability (vs Las Vegas Aces) | September 11, 2024

[@staffordlee1430]

I came because of Caitlin but I’ve grown to love Temi, AB, Kelsey and Lexie! I’m all in for the Fever! Must watch tv! It’s been such a fun season… It’s awesome to watch the underdogs RISE! Go Fever!

[@johndunlay938]

We really need her tonight. So athletic and long🙏

[@KP-us2sz]

Same

[@kimhrabar9294]

Ditto

[@danielwalbridge1406]

I think it's obvious that's the best starting lineup to create magic!

[@FoxterFiftyfive]

We have so much talent ! Let’s go!!! Temi Fagbenle is a great player!

[@DavidStewart-v5e]

Absolutely love you, Temi.

[@MikeC-hk5ec]

Temi is great and deserves lots of praise. Just as a player. As a person. Listen to how well spoken she is! Who wouldn’t want a teammate like this?!?!

[@MrsBStacyBattleBorn]

Temi! Happy Birthday!!! Great to see you playing again. You have contributed so much to the game everytime you come into the game. Congrats.

[@sallystege7163]

I love love Ms. Temi. Educated, class. Great player

[@Nemesis_N4Sir]

CC brought me here, and now I'm a huge Temi fan.

[@EOO-Stand]

me too

[@womanofacertainage5892]

SAME!

[@philipmtran05]

Absolutely a great person... She is the BEST person to guide CC from Temi.

[@randomperson-cw7hs]

I love Temi👌👌👌. Stay healthy😃🙏.

[@charlesdavis7461]

Temi, all the best to you, you will be an excellent contribution.

[@benjohnson9011]

Temi gave the best interview yet. Such a mature classy lady! I'm impressed.

[@CANELA-cnm]

Temi is one of one. She's amazing. I hope she can calm our new talent down and I hope they listen to what she has to say! Keep moving forward Temi! ♥

[@staffordlee1430]

Thank you for good questions! And thank you Temi for such thoughtful and insightful answers! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you a bit better through this interview!! We are thrilled that you are on this team, providing a listening ear and some wisdom as well as practical sports advice. I’m confident after listening to you a few times that your voice in the locker room, court side, AND on the court is invaluable to your teammates! So glad that you are healthy and back in action! Go get ‘em tonight! I’m so excited for the game!

[@grb024]

TEMI !!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!! So nice to hear from you!! Keep doing what you do, girl!! You're a ROCKSTAR.

[@tamarastuchlak5509]

A wise, grace-filled top notch human.

[@ThePattymom8]

Temi is so endearing

[@coldspring624]

Great to hear Temi

[@HalfB]

Thank you for your interview, those questions were very interesting and insightful!! We love Temi and send her love and prayers for the strength she needs to play hard and the protection for her to stay safe and healthy!!! God bless Temi and the Fever!!! 🎉🫶🛐 Temi’s a beautiful person and sprints and plays like a gisele !! 🦌

[@cathygregory3443]

Temi is such a truth teller, and she has the vision and maturity to have truths to tell. She is our fantastic gem, the first to buy in. Absolutely love her.

[@varj7]

Temi, we need your passion on the court. You lead by example, and it makes everyone give that little extra.

[@danksyart5123]

Temi!!!!! ❤❤❤ She gets it. She has the championship mentality. It's not ONE person makes a team victorious...it's every single member of the team & staff.

[@kayheiberger2334]

Except Sides

[@juliewheeler3793]

I love Temi so much!! She is such class and I am so happy to see her back on the court.

[@aopLib19]

What a great interview w Temi ! What a quality person....

[@lisabecker9708]

Totally love Temi! So well grounded and a true leader! Let's do this Fever!

[@ericjohnson5095]

I love seeing interviews of other Fever players. Temi is such a great soul.

[@Willard-l7t]

Stay healthy Temi, the team needs you!

[@mayaturnnow9110]

Fever has the classiest players, full stop.

[@Doomguy9OOO]

Facts, and no thug-ball like Chicago sky, Seattle storm and Connecticut sun. Its one reason why even though the fever desperately need a coach with an IQ over 20, im still glad Caitlin is with this team, everyone there is wholesome and no thuggish behavior going on at all

[@dropjems]

More minutes for Temi

[@Juke582]

Maybe more production first! 🤦‍♀️

[@StevenRay369]

Temi is a major key to Indiana success...High defensive IQ... I think Temi need to attack the basket more because I see she has a offensive game as well when Caitlyn and Kelsey is pushing the ball up court in transition.. If she develops a consistent perimeter game, she will be another threat on offense. Much respect to Temi.

[@stephaniel5402]

Temi!!! She's definitely been adding to the team. LET'S GOOOO‼️

[@Juke582]

Not for a while 🤦‍♀️

[@LoriMac17]

I love Temi so much, a true pleasure to watch play and hear her perspectives. She's an amazing human!! Let's go FEVER!!! Sides needs to calm tf down and settle her mind. She's letting anxiety eat her up, not thinking things through, she's speaking from habit, and needs to watch more film to truly dissect issues. Her inability to call a timeout when needed was HS level coaching. Hull and Temi have no business on the bench when when we're in trouble

[@tiffinhappy9744]

Exactly. When opposing team is on a roll it is time for a timeout and you need to learn to stop it

[@tellitlikeitis1828]

Temi and Lexie keys to defend against Aces.

[@Cmanne18]

Temi down low use AJa you got the length speed height Temi play let's go

[@user-op7tm4kf9j]

I really like Temi, also!! I have since about the first time I saw her. She speaks very well and provides thoughtful answers. 😊

[@ericMT]

Temi is one of the realest WNBA players. Stay healthy please!!!

[@randyking9489]

Absolutely. Stay healthy!

[@KenDavis-jl8kk]

Temi is a true leader

[@MartinHermans-dw3is]

hope CC has a big game tonight and a win! lets gooooo!

[@BeWitch3d]

30/20/10 game lol, and watch the world go even crazier for Cc as MVP tom, and need a win with that

[@MartinHermans-dw3is]

@@BeWitch3d do you think kate martin will contribute on the aces side?

[@keithkobziewicz1305]

This team is great because they have accepted and seen first hand how great a player CC is but how humble she is. This is why they have all bought in and sky is the limit once they play for each other.

[@Cmanne18]

AJa can't run with you Temi run

[@bmw328iowner8]

Temi...great to hear from Temi. Very impressive. Bet Temi has a great influence on the other players and in the clubhouse. I've been rooting for a Temi double double, but I have been very happy with Temi's contributions. As Temi says, Fever players have distinct roles, the players have accepted their roles, and their roles come before their egos.

[@MrDanoconnor]

What a Very Smart Lady Temi is... A Real Team Player and CLASS ACT...

[@huntingforvintage6287]

TEMI !!!!!!!!!! I hope she starts

[@d-law868]

What an amazing basketball player she is Tami ❤

[@StevenRay369]

Temi is a major key to Indiana success...High defensive IQ... I think Temi need to attack the basket more because I see she has a offensive game as well. If she develops a consistent permiter game, she will be another threat on offense. Much respect to Temi.

[@TheEdwardBesterJrpodcast]

I love temi and the Indiana fever go fever

[@mattbarlow7631]

Good to hear from Temi and I like her perspective

[@Debbie-xc5vx]

Temi should be a starter. Go Fever ☄️🏀🥰❤️

[@LA_Baldux]

Nalissa benched please

[@BobG-pi8bb]

She should definitely be playing starter minutes and be on the floor at the most important times, but there’s real value to having that first player off the bench who can do something different defensively.

[@erthmthr]

Temi is a key element in the Fever formula. 💛🏀🇺🇸

[@danielgattuzo3065]

Temi is extremely likable

[@solomonwafua]

My starting 5 if I was the coach:- Clark-Mitchell-Hull-Fagbenle-Boston. It must remaining this way for the 2-game home series against the 2-time defending champs the Aces.

[@MP-bk5sf]

Temi is a beautiful soul

[@pamswafford9994]

Love Temi!!!❤

[@florianl6300]

Holy smokes🔥 what a great person temi is🙏 love this team🤗

[@ghazsibrahim1670]

Temi you a starter and will lead to champions with defense and improving offense

[@FoxterFiftyfive]

We need Temi to start as she will shake up this game. She’s so fast!!! 💨. We can’t be slow paced today.

[@carlforpresidentanthony4574]

START TEMI NOW CHRISTIE!!!

[@marinascott-mw9ut]

TEMI THE HEMI GAZELLE YOU ARE SO APPRECIATED AND LOVED!!! TY SO MUCH❤🎉❤🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@4loops43]

😂 good one, I can’t get the image outta my head

[@sallystege7163]

I claim health and physical excellence from Temi

[@ES-rp6dx]

I don’t understand why Temi is not in starting line up. This it’s important game to be waiting for Smith to pick up her pace

[@ericMT]

She’s still recovering from a thumb injury and a shoulder injury. They would player her 40 mins if they could. At least she’s able to play a little bit now. She makes a HUGE difference when she’s in.

[@warwolf88]

hope to see more from temi😊

[@kennymccorkle1386]

Temi ❤️

[@Graybeard_]

We are hoping Temi brings her game tonight. She can make a huge contribution when she is on her game. Start Temi!

[@lilpapi4399]

Temí Temí!

[@ljn5232]

Temi is so wise

[@DAHBHONG022]

TEMI if working and playing hard she can hold and contest AW in game time today.. Any other big, Temi is capable of contesting them..

[@michaelkistner6286]

Tami = very impressive!

[@siimpleez]

Love Temi!

[@gregcrawley2668]

Come on fans that are at the game when A.B. makes a basket yell BOW BOW BOW. That will fire them up and A.B. will love it.

[@billthompson2740]

I love this Woman!

[@ptbngoc45]

I love this British Woman!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Temi is a TREASURE! She's so fierce on defense -- comes in clutch around the glass, and is just awesomeness on a bun! (AND she's smart as heck and I love her sense of style.)

[@wilmotto]

Temi should be starting along with Alia,Lexi, Kelsey,and Caitlyn

[@danksyart5123]

Thing abt Temi. She plays well off the bench. And if I am an opposing BIG...I see AB go to the bench I sigh a little until I see Temi headed straight for me! She comes with the fire. She doesn't need a wind-up. She arrives on fire. Her injuries will keep her minutes more cautiously utilized.

[@houdini_sports]

I think it would be great to throw in Wallace or Berger who don’t see regular playing time and get them 5-10 mins. The playoffs are unpredictable. And foul trouble often happens 👍

[@maverickg3751]

Her ceiling is Lisa Lesley, I can't wait to see her next year with a off-season

[@rosaeusithilelen]

If Temi is not in the starting 5 we riot. Smith on the bench

[@diIbert]

❤️‍🔥

[@sandragomez4309]

I love you Temi! ❤

[@cindyblumenthal8315]

The Team has made the coach look better. For the longest all I read was Fire Her! Now they are all clicking, so glad they had the break to learn more about each other.

[@MC-nb6lu]

The Fever is burning up! Keep going ladies. Proud of the team.

[@jayanags]

Love Temi! Can’t help to read between the lines about most of what Temi said with regards to the team 🤔

[@tiffinhappy9744]

What are your thoughts on this?

[@jayanags]

Am thinking there was/is an ego problem about each player’s role on this new team. Some players not listening to what others have to say, thinking they know more etc Just don’t know which specific players or maybe am just imagining it all 😅

[@tiffinhappy9744]

@@jayanags maybe so. I think it possibly could have been hard to accept that cc would come in and start directing the plays. Egos had to be put aside for sure. Cc and all of the team are learning now though about teamwork. Self pride will destroy a team. They are definetly learning each other. 👍

[@jayanags]

@@tiffinhappy9744 very true!

[@KelliMari-fz5ly]

I love the whole Fever team ❤❤

[@JD-lz4ct]

The crowd is huge. I’m a IU womens BB season ticket holder. When CC came to Bloomington in February, it as nuts in the Hall. Clark has commented on the Hall several times. That was one place that was not a home game for anyone. Not even for Clark.

[@flux1968]

She's a great player, the perfect one to guard A'ja Wilson.

[@darrylanderson4764]

Commitment to the craft 👌

[@Fitchedweave]

Wheres Grace.I hope she finds her talents being called for more in the future..Obviously her role in other ways at present.She make other better too.only love to Grace Berger when you get time hearts will be with you.Shine❤

[@PilotEJ401]

Sides admitting the playoff clinch changed her perspective, after spouting off for weeks how we needed to only focus on the next game, 1% improvement each day, etc etc. She is always going to be the limiting factor with CC at the point. 2 tough games lets win 1 at least!! Go Fever 🔥

[@FoxterFiftyfive]

30 from Clark, 30 from Mitchell, 30 from Boston !!! Let’s go. 1 stuff from Temi will make my day!!!😃

[@johnanderson8096]

This Woman has a Dennis Rodman type Athleticism/Effort... Crazy Speacial!!!!!!!

[@WillPlatter]

Temi is a very hard worker. ✔️

[@Doomguy9OOO]

I watched 6 minutes of this video, i love Temi Fagbenle, shes awsome, i skipped over that other person talking because ain’t nobody wanna hear you Christie. 😒 i only wanna hear from people who know about basketball.

[@jerikajones1999]

We are gonna need Temi defense if we are to beat the Aces tonight. Can't do it without you ❤

[@DustyTail]

Temi’s answer at 3:45❤

[@darrylanderson4764]

Practice harder is God message and can you be a witness 🙏

[@bobbylee9727]

I have a theory: Temi is secretly a nuclear physicist who is passing herself off as a professional basketball player in the WNBA. When the season is over, she goes underground for the CIA and discovers/invents scientific stuff...she sounds pretty smart. I do wish she could be a better shooter...

[@jeaniekim9951]

Don’t blow her cover 🤫

[@Doctor_Kroom]

Havard graduate.

[@bobbylee9727]

@@Doctor_Kroom So with Sexy Lexy Hull with a masters degree, CC with a 3.6 G.P.A. from Iowa, Boston sounds pretty smart and Kelsey with 'street smarts'...with Temi in the starting lineup the Fever have a collective basketball I.Q. which sounds way above average. The future for this team looks bright to me.
