"Head of The Snake": Sophie Cunningham Reveals Thoughts About Dream Star Ahead of Atlanta's WNBA Finals Clash
Jordin Canada felt counted out. She said it after Game 1 against the Liberty, and then she went out and made the doubters think twice for the rest of the semifinals.
Sophie Cunningham, head coach of the Indiana Fever, praised Jordin Canada's performance ahead of Atlanta's WNBA Finals showdown. Canada had a remarkable run in the semifinals, averaging 22.3 points, 7.7 assists, and 3 rebounds in three games. Her star power was crucial in the Dream's 3-0 sweep against the New York Liberty, with her playmaking and defense often making her the "head of the snake."
Despite losing Allisha Gray, who was sidelined for much of their series, Canada stepped up, delivering two 20-point performances and an impressive 11 assists in the final game. Her performance earned her recognition from veteran teammate DeWanna Bonner, who referred to Canada as the "head of the snake." If Atlanta can replicate Canada's level of performance in the Finals against the Golden State Valkyries, they stand a strong chance of claiming the championship title.
