Jewell Loyd - Super Scorer/Gold Mamba

Jewell Loyd. 2x WNBA Champion. 2x WNBA All-Star. 2016 All-WNBA Second Team. 2015 WNBA Rookie of the Year. 2x Senior USA Basketball Gold Medalist (2018 Basketball World Cup in Spain & 2014 World Championships in Moscow). In the Wubble, she was the second leading scorer on a Seattle Storm team that went UNDEFEATED in the playoffs (only the second team in WNBA history).
She went from averaging 15.5 points per game on 44.3/39.0/87.5 shooting splits in the regular season to 18.0 points on 47.1/39.3/93.3 splits IN THE PLAYOFFS. She’s got just about everything down. The basics shine brightest in her game. Her footwork is phenomenal. She uses her pump fake to punish undisciplined defenders. Her jab step just kills. She’s outstanding off the ball. Lethal on the catch and shoot.
Not many have the distinction of being named the female face of Kobe Bryant’s sneaker line, but that should tell you everything you need to know about Jewell: she’s special. The man himself gave her the nickname “Gold Mamba.”
There were 2 players that attempted to close out their respective Finals wearing the Mamba Golds. Only ONE of them actually did. Anthony Davis TRIED to close the Miami Heat out with the Black Mamba jerseys AND the gold kicks. It was Jewell Loyd, however, rocking the same number on her back as Bryant did in his latter years, was the only one who got it done.
Here’s a quote from Kobe from 2016/17, after he personally worked with Loyd for four days of sessions (before he really started doing that with players):
“When I watched her play, certain things can stand out,” Bryant told The Summitt. “Like I can tell if a player is really serious about the game or if they’re just bs’ing. If you’re bs’ing I’m not going to give you the time of day. If you’re really committed to the process, really committed to working, perfecting your craft, then I can pick up on that pretty quick.”
highposthoops....
And of course, Jewell said in her postgame interview after putting away the Las Vegas Aces in 3 games: "It's the gold shoes, knowing that I'm unique. I'm special," Loyd said. "I wore the shoes because of Kobe. His jersey number is everything. He's the first person to ever believe in me before I got into the league. It's special."

Never actually seen highlights from the wnba so this was really cool

[@lewisrodriguezespigares3325]

She's one of the best scorers in the game. That Mamba flow in her moves... Absolutely mesmerizing player. Stewart and Bird have almost all the lights -absolutely deserved-, but she's killing it day by day too. What a team.

[@MauricioBarragan]

Ive seen Kobe do all of these moves which is crazy. She really studied all his moves

[@MauricioBarragan]

Well not the step backs lol he didn't many of those

[@EvinGualberto]

She WORKED with him. He gave her that Gold Mamba nickname.

[@EvinGualberto]

@@MauricioBarragan I bet you if you typed in "Kobe stepback" in that KZbin search bar right now, you'll get your mind blown

[@mvg2528]

@@EvinGualbertoReally?what a luck to work with the best basketball and life master💛💜

[@alligator_detective]

She can do pull up, moving catch and shoot, drive and other things. Really amazing talent. Definitely mamba vibe.

For those unfamiliar with the WNBA, #10 making these quick, accurate passes on the Storm is the all-time leader in assists and was 39 in all these videos.

[@BlueHundred1]

Sue Bird is amazing

[@MorganGreen7180rasta]

Easily one of my favorite players. Footwork is on 10 million and she makes the game look so effortless. Gold Mamba doin work!

[@thortries7479]

Anthony Davis post up powerhouse/ face up father in law would be crazy. I think that's his primary offense and he's a bucket down low

[@bobbiroberts3240]

This girl is a real female black Mamba , her way of playing can make you enjoy women's basketball

[@jasperbesinga]

Can you do Caris LeVert one?

[@mvg2528]

Oh wow..! I have to study something about her game😍

[@adriennerutledge5745]

Amazing player Thanks

[@mvg2528]

One month ago,I was blocked by an Italian channel because I asked for posting WNBA and they said:"We'll not have enough visual". The day after,YT suggested me this video and your amazing channel. It's 7 in the morning and I'm watching this vid. Fate?Don't know. But love❤️💛💜

[@gxm333]

[@treycarter4237]

Supreme bucket!!!

[@danbrown1344]

Her game reminds me of Spencer Dinwiddie now that I see all of her plays as a compilation.

[@AJ-sw8uf]

Spot on... those scoop layups and pull-up 3s

[@dc7236]

Stone cold killer
