Cameron Brink is on a roll this year, and it’s not just her skills on the court that have people talking. The 22-year-old rising star is all set to add another 3×3 basketball stint to her already impressive resume, and she couldn’t be more excited. Representing her countryis a big deal for Brink, who calls it one of the biggest honors of her career.

Teaming up with Hailey Van Lith, Rhyne Howard, and Cierra Burdick for this year’s 3×3 games, Brink is eager to showcase her versatility. But there’s something else that has her even more pumped: the Opening Ceremony in Paris. “Yeah, I think especially the opening ceremony is going to be really cool. Just excited for that, just to be a part of that historic moment and yeah, representing my country but also just admiring and appreciating other countries. Their talents and hard work. It’s going to be really cool,” she gushed.

Brink’s excitement is understandable. Her year has been nothing short of phenomenal. As the second overall pick in the WNBA draft, she’s already making waves with the LA Sparks. Leading the league in blocks per game during her first week, Brink’s stats are turning heads: 8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal, and 2.6 blocks per game. Not too shabby for a rookie.

Brink dominates ESPN Rookie rankings

Her stellar performance has also earned her the top spot in ESPN’s latest rookie rankingsAshley Nicole Moss notes Brink’s defensive dominance, predicting she’s a strong contender for Rookie of the Year. Despite her success in the traditional 5×5 format, Brink is looking forward to the different challenges 3×3 basketball brings.

Having previously played 3×3 with Van Lith and Burdick, Brink is no stranger to the game’s fast-paced nature. “Yeah, it’s very different. You don’t have any time to dwell on your mistakes. For a player like me, I am allowed to be more versatile and kind of do a little bit of everything,” she said, highlighting how the fewer players on the court mean more responsibility and quicker decision-making.

Cameron Brink is definitely one to watch as she continues to make her mark in both the WNBA and on the international stage. Whether it’s blocking shots in LA or taking on the world in Paris, she’s ready to shine.

“d wade was my favorite player on the heat for as long as i can remember but i lost all respect for you now,” a user wrote.

“That’s a young man Wade come on,” another fan said.

“Aye gang! I just unfollowed you! Be easy!” said another.

Someone commented, “We gotta stop normalizing this stuff.”

“D Wade I used to respect you,” said another.

“What kind of dad would do this to his kid,” another user wondered.

“The real bravery is leaving the comments on,” one joked.

Dwyane Wade Is Doing His Part For The Transgender Community

Dwyane and Zaya recently launched an online community branded “Translatable” to support the transgender community. The platform is described as a “safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth to express themselves” and a “resource hub for their parents, families, and support systems.”

Dwyane Wade spent15 years with the Heat and also played short stints with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers. He won all three of his titles in Miami and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023.
