Valkyries' Natalie Nakase delivers all-time postgame presser after championship

Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase celebrated her team's championship victory over the Atlanta Dream in Game 7 of the WNBA finals. Known for her brash and entertaining speaking style, Nakase delivered a powerful postgame press conference that amplified her reputation as a showman. After winning her first championship, she dropped an F-bomb on national television, addressing the fans and expressing her gratitude to those who had been underrated or misunderstood.

In the media room, Nakase humorously referred to her Finals MVP, Gabby Williams, by stating, "Gabby needs alcohol." When asked if she imagined winning a championship, Nakase emphatically replied, "F-k yea." The coach is known for her interactive press conferences, often directing questions to the Valkyries fan base, Ballhalla, and making at least one answer to them.

After the final question, she joked about her basketball knowledge, saying, "You think there's some science behind it? There really isn't. It's just literally just to mix it up."
