Elle Duncan, Andraya Carter, and Chiney Ogwumike make up the ideal studio team to lead ESPN’s expanding coverage of women’s basketball.
Players like Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers are the main draw for the fans, but Elle Duncan, Andraya Carter, and Chiney Ogwumike are easily second when it comes to fan interest.
Chiney Ogwumike is standing out from them all.
Not many people are aware that she plays in the WNBA and parlayed her career into an ESPN analyst while her career is still going on.
This week, Chiney Ogwumike is going insanely viral after her latest outfit drew tons of reactions.
Ogwumike could be seen in the ESPN studious rocking a tight green bodysuit that showed off every curve on her body.
