ESPN Star Chiney Ogwumike Grabs Attention In Stunning Dress
Chiney Ogwumike is usually going viral for her commentary on the NBA and WNBA, but that isn't the case this weekend.
Ogwumike, a two-time All-Star and former WNBA Rookie of the Year, played for the Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks before becoming a full-time analyst for ESPN. She has made countless appearances on "NBA Today" and "SportsCenter" among other shows the network has to offer.
Although she's now known for dishing out takes on ESPN, Ogwumike had quite the career on the hardwood. The Stanford product averaged 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in the WNBA.
Ogwumike is currently in Rwanda to cover the Basketball Africa League. She shared a few photos from this trip on her Instagram account along with the caption: "courtside on the continent."
One particular photo of Ogwumike received over 120,000 views on X in just a few hours.
Ogwumike has become a star at ESPN.
Earlier this year, ESPN gave Ogwumike her own show where she delivers "thoughtful takes and spirited insight at the intersection of all things hoops." Of course, that hasn't stopped her from appearing on ESPN's daytime programming.
"Chiney has an incredible ability to connect leagues, players, and audiences through both insight and authenticity," ESPN said in a press release. "She's a trusted voice across our basketball coverage, and Chiney Today gives her a platform to lead thoughtful, dynamic conversations that reflect how fans experience the game today."
We can't wait to see what's next for Ogwumike.
