She just transfered to Louisville High School in Los Angeles a little while back not far from where I live. Definitely have to attend a few games. She promised Kobe she was going to make the WNBA and she was also really tight with Gigi. Great, great story developing.

[@boondoggle4820]

That girl is doing her thing. Good for her.

[@josephsmith8066]

Man!!!! Soooo happy and proud of Isabella!!! She's going for her dreams and working out with and learning from the great and greatest laker of all-time and one of the greatest ever Kobe Bryant definitely helps 🌞👍 wishing her nothing but the best!!!#yougogirl

[@bencromwell707]

Shout out Isabella Salute Queen👑

[@MB-go6uy]

She's got a swagger about her. Looking forward to watching her grow and ball out. Waiting for CC fans to be like "wait what? no there's only one female player!" lol.

[@dill492]

Jiggy izzy gonna be a great player

[@jinku77]

What a bright future awaits for this young lady. I hope to see her in a few years in the W

[@Ginoscafesoftballsux]

ESPN we need a Bronny update now. Is he awake? What time will he eat breakfast? Come on we need this info.

[@I.am_Groot]

We need the scoop ESPN give us that minute by minute Bronny tea come on now!!! Lol. I agree they doing too much on the kid nice to see this clip though wish they would do more of these highlighting young players

[@CtFletcher-eg5zj]

Now don’t complain when they give you what you ask for

[@MB-go6uy]

Woj, let me know that a couple of insiders let him know that Bronny just ordered Wingstop and got the a 10 piece boneless combo. We have not confirmed if the drink with Coke or Sprite. Woj think's it's more than likely Sprite considering his dad's endorsement deal with Sprite. But more to come as this story develops.

Been watching her Development 4 a while..gonna take my daughter's and wife 2 C her play this year

[@nr14989]

I believe the WNBA should pay more attention to rookies on a year-to-year basis in order to expand its fan base. The upcoming rookie class will be no exception. By providing playing time to these rookies, the WNBA can achieve unprecedented growth and reach.

[@carladavis1473]

You don't think they do they now?

[@GoodLifeBreeze]

I like her motivation.

[@commonsense3921]

The woman's game is growing but if Kobe was alive he would definitely have a hand in it.

[@TheNate7777777]

@@commonsense3921 using his name A.D. is definitely him still having a hand in it.

Mexican pride , GGs izzy 🇲🇽

[@coz-it6ci]

I watched an excellent documentary on his young girl and all that she got from the United States. Her thank you was to represent the Mexican national team. I do not understand.

[@yuryberrios7003]

She wasn't gonna make or play on the USA Olympic team dummy.... Nice try though

[@I.am_Groot]

She was born and raised in Mexico and being chosen to their U15 squad at such a young age was something to be very proud of so it isn't anything against the US

[@TonyRizzo-h5f]

So what’s the problem guy ? What’s all she got from the United States ? Tells us

[@I.am_Groot]

@@TonyRizzo-h5f It's about HER choice and I respect it 1000%

That’s what they said about Steph, fox, bronny, Trae, garland, Brunson, Alvarado, cp3, dillingham, reed sh, cj, Cole ant, Kyrie, lillard, Collin s, Tyrese M, ja, and Immanuel Q were all told they were too small for the nba at a point in there life buddy so what!? Height isn’t everything grow up 😂😂😂💯💯💯💯

[@jinku77]

Yeah but she is 16, she might grow a few inches. Let's see

[@sammywilliams6]

@@kingbullyrock8739 tbh if she grows to be 5’8 at least she’ll be good cause most pgs in the wnba are 5’8-5’9 literally that’s the average height of a wnba PG💯

[@boondoggle4820]

Not necessarily. There are 5’6 guards in the W now. Plus, as others have pointed out, she might grow.

[@I.am_Groot]

Not at all.

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

She got game. She got her own brand. She also got a height problem, so maybe her future is on the sideline or in the office.

[@MB-go6uy]

shes barely 16... Dawn Stayley.. 5-6... actually know something about the WNBA.

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

@@MB-go6uy I saw Dawn play at the Olympics while you were scratching yourself at home.

[@MB-go6uy]

@@AntonSlizzardhands you don't even know my age, but the fact that you missed the entire point tells me you probably spent more time on the court than in a book. It's okay. We get it.

No. She’s the NEXT JIGGY IZZY!! There’s no comparison. Let her stand alone.

get off the CC humping..christ. CC fans showed up, acted like the WNBA didnt exist until she got there, and now they are a cult.

Self inflicted “curse”…WNBA not giving the fans what they want, they claim excitement, professionalism, lights out balling yet most of the time players, air ball, throw lay up bricks, street ball defense, and on and on …remedy? Women’s volleyball, net lower (most of them can out hop the entire WNBA) softball field shorter all around, why? to make the “game” as fast, as exciting, as competitive as possible. Bottom line is these professional women’s sports listen to their fan base…js

[@MB-go6uy]

another CC Jan 6th cultist has entered the comments I see. It's okay, we know your type. You've been here for 400 years. Ignorant, toothless, low IQ, rural MAGA. Thats one of the great things about CC coming into the league, she's helping expose the underbelly of America without even realizing she's doing it. Soooo I don't see "black girls" in the WNBA belittling Kelsey Plum, Sabrina, etc. Get back in your Ford F150 and go somewhere else.
