Brittney Griner and her wife, Cherelle, have divulged their baby’s unique name ahead of his arrival.

Yes, they are having a boy.

The couple shared videos from their baby shower with CBS on Wednesday, revealing the baby’s gender, as well as his name.

The shower was entertaining as Brittney and Cherelle played various baby games, such as racing to finish a baby bottle and dressing a doll while blindfolded.

According to ‘CBS Mornings’ co-host Gayle King, the baby boy will be named “Bash,” which is pretty unique and quite possibly a first, at least in an English-speaking country.

The Phoenix Mercury star took to social media with her spouse last month to reveal they were expecting.

“Can’t believe we’re less than three months away from meeting our favorite human being,” they wrote as the caption to a sonogram photo.

Meanwhile, Griner is set to miss several weeks of action due to injury.

Brittney Griner Is Enjoying A Normal Life Again

Brittney Griner must be relieved to be able to live a normal life again. And her life is set to take on a whole new meaning once Bash is born.

The 33-year-old spent most of 2022 imprisoned in Russia after being caught with vape cartridges at an airport in Moscow.

The center was playing basketball in the country during the WNBA offseason, but things flipped in an instant. Following her detainment, she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Griner was released after 10 months, returning to the United States as part of a prisoner swap in which Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout was freed.

She recalled her experience in an interview with ABC earlier this month and recently launched a memoir titled ‘Coming Home.’

“People Forget He’s a Rookie”- Luka Doncic Eases Expectations on Dereck Lively II Following Game 4 Performance

The Dallas Mavericks had the last opportunity to remain in the NBA Finals, and they made the most of it by snatching a 122-84 win in Game 4 over the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving mostly looked after the offense. However, they needed a third player who would come through to make an impact. The player was none other than Mavs rookie Dereck Lively II. His outstanding performance earned him praise from the franchise’s superstar.

During the post-game press conference, Doncic’s face lit up when asked to share his thoughts about Lively. Praising his teammate for the double-double contribution, the Slovenian said, “I think people forget he’s a rookie doing this stuff. He’s been amazing the whole season, just watching him grow has been unbelievable.”

Friday night was the first time since mid-November last year that Lively attempted a shot from behind the 3-point arc. But when Doncic passed him the ball, the 7-foot-1 center could hold himself back and shot a marvelous bucket from the deep. He finished the night with 11 points and 12 rebounds by shooting 4-of-5 from the floor.

However, his on-court performance helped the Mavs maintain their supremacy in the game, and his off-court actions also benefitted the team.

During the game, Luka Doncic appeared more focused and wasn’t seen arguing with the game officials about any decision. The secret behind this was Dereck Lively’s pep talk to the five-time All-Star.
