\u201cI was trying to imagine it and it’s hard for me to even put myself into what she’s going through. Like she’s such a great human being. A great person. Obviously, I’ve been in her presence a few times. You always feel like, you know, if you’re from a certain place, you always feel like they’ve got your back. And, in a sense, now, how could she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’ If I’ve been gone for over 130 days. And I felt like it’s been zero effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Boston (Celtics) fans when asked, \u201cWhy do you hate Boston?\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause they racist as f*ck, that’s why. They will say anything, and it’s fine. I mean, f * ck, it’s my wife, she’s been dealing with them her whole life. I don’t mind it. I hear it, if I hear someone close by, I check them real quick. I move onto the game, whatever the f*ck. They going to say whatever the f*ck they want to say. They might throw something, I got a beer thrown on me leaving a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long story short #BringHerHome.\u201d Funny enough, it was Griner’s own coach with the Phoenix Mercury who recently asked, \u201cIf it was LeBron, he’d be home, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
