WNBA Draft - English
Georgia Amoore hasn’t even played a game in the WNBA yet, but the Aussie star has already scored a major win off the court – a budding new friendship with none other than Trinity Rodman, the breakout star of the NWSL’s Washington Spirit.
Fresh off being selected 11th overall by the Washington Mystics in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the 24-year-old guard has found an unexpected but heartwarming connection with Rodman, who welcomed her to D.C. in a surprise video message that quickly went viral.
In the now widely shared clip, posted by WNBA on X, Amoore is seen sitting on a subway bench when she receives a heartfelt greeting from Rodman.
“Hey Georgia, it’s Trinity here,” Rodman begins. “Just wanted to give you a huge congrats on being drafted. Welcome to the WNBA. Happy you are with the Mystics.”
Amoore’s Crossover Connection
Rodman, a 2024 Olympian and daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, extended an open invite to Amoore for an NWSL match – a moment that clearly left the rookie stunned.
“Hopefully, we can get you out to a Washington Spirit game. Get to hang out, do whatever,” Rodman continued. “I’m very honored and happy that you’re a fan of mine. I’m just, I don’t know, very excited to see what you do now on your new journey.”
Amoore, grinning from ear to ear, was visibly overwhelmed with excitement.
“That’s the best thing that I have ever seen in my life,” she gushed, before adding, “Trinity, DM me, I’ll give you my number. We’ll work on plans… I’ll be there, I’ll be there on the stands. I’m your biggest fan.”
The wholesome exchange instantly won over fans and hinted at the start of a friendship that feels destined for viral moments and sideline selfies.
Two Young Stars, One City
While their sports may differ, the similarities between Rodman and Amoore are undeniable.
Both moved fast and fearlessly to stake their claim in pro sports. Rodman stunned the soccer world at just 18, and Amoore left her home country of Australia at 19 to play college basketball in the U.S.
At Virginia Tech, she led the Hokies to a Final Four appearance, earned ACC Tournament MVP honors, and averaged 16.3 points and 4.9 assists during her 2022-23 campaign.
In her graduate season at Kentucky, Amoore raised the bar even higher, putting up 19.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, while breaking the school’s single-season assist record.
Now, she joins a rare elite group – including Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu – as one of only three Division I players to record over 2,300 points and 800 assists in a career.
It’s clear the Washington Mystics have landed a gem. And while fans are eager to see what Amoore brings to the WNBA hardwood, the surprise spark with Trinity Rodman might just become the feel-good subplot of the summer.
With shared passion, drive, and charisma, these two rising stars are proving that friendship knows no bounds – not even between basketball courts and soccer fields.

David Montgomery Carries Childhood Pain as He Returns Home For Lions-Bengals
David Montgomery will return home when the Lions face the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday. While the trip might remind him of some painful childhood memories, it'll also serve as a reminder of why the Lions running back is doing what he does.In an interview with FOX Sports' Tom Rinaldi, Montgomery opened up about his rough childhood experience in Cincinnati, which included moving to multiple homes and sleeping through cold nights. "My mom, she's a soldier," Montgomery said. "She worked double, triple shifts sometimes. But it was just never enough. There were nights where we didn't eat. There were times where the heat and stuff went off. We just turned the oven on as hot as we could. Sometimes, my brothers and I would take baths where we would be out of heat and we would just boil the water." ADVERTISEMENT […]
Hamilton given Singapore GP penalty as Alonso hits out at Ferrari driver
Lewis Hamilton has been given a five-second time penalty which demotes him to eighth behind Fernando Alonso at the Singapore Grand Prix.Hamilton exceeded track limits "multiple" times during the last laps of the Singapore Grand Prix after his front brakes failed and he tried to nurse his car home to the anger of Alonso. In a foul-mouthed radio rant, Alonso said: "I cannot f****** believe it. I mean, I cannot f****** believe it. I cannot f****** believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes?"For me, you cannot drive when the car is unsafe. Sometimes they try to disqualify me with no mirror, and now you have no brakes and everything is fine? I doubt it."Hamilton just held off Alonso by four tenths but his five-second time penalty put him behind the Aston Martin driver, whose seventh place is […]

After Tough Game 1 Loss, the Mariners Now Face the Cy Young Frontrunner
<!--> [--> Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> --> SEATTLE – The Mariners had already waited 8,755 days since their last home postseason win. Now, that wait will last at least one day longer. This time, unlike their last opportunity to win a playoff game at T-Mobile Park three years ago, they managed to scratch a couple runs across. This time, the extra-inning affair only went 11 innings; it didn’t go 18. This time, it started the American League Division Series; it didn’t finish it. The Mariners still have a chance to make amends. But in their first home playoff game since a gutting marathon loss against the Astros ended their season three years ago, they were again left to wonder what could have been in a 3-2 defeat to start the ALDS. On Saturday night, the Tigers outscored, outmaneuvered and outlasted the Mariners, who remain […]
Bengals Have Cooled Tensions, Shouldn’t Look to Add a QB at Deadline
The Cincinnati Bengals' season was derailed in Week 2 when Joe Burrow got hurt, and most people would say they need to upgrade from backup quarterback Jake Browning.Julian Edelman says that's not the case.On "FOX NFL Kickoff," Edelman said Browning has shown that he's capable of enough success to start the rest of the season. He also noted that no quarterback is going to come in the middle of the season and build a good rapport with the playmakers around him quickly enough to make a big impact."I would not," Edelman said of trading for a new starting quarterback. "Browning shows that he's had success. He went 4-3 a couple of years ago when Joe Burrow got hurt then. He's been in this system. You're not going to bring anyone in that's going to know these players like Browning immediately […]
Rodina slavila všech šest gólů, smál se Darida po návratu do Plzně
Už ve 12. minutě Darida napřáhl ke střele, kterou vyrazil Martin Jedlička. Ondřej Mihálik pak z dorážky poprvé v utkání rozvlnil síť. Podruhé bývalý kapitán národního týmu sám přihrál na gól Václavu Pilařovi, který zvyšoval na 2:1. O obě trefy se postarali hráči, kteří na západě Čech zanechali výraznou stopu.Nemrzí vás, že jste nedotáhli zápas do vítězného konce?Těžko se mi to hodnotí. Bylo to opravdu bláznivé utkání. Dvakrát jsme vedli, sahali jsme po třech bodech a náš výkon byl velmi dobrý. Ke konci ale Plzeň skóre otočila. Našli jsme však v sobě sílu odvézt si alespoň bod, který s pokorou bereme. Má pro nás velkou cenu a věřím, že nám zase dodá sebevědomí.Vy jste ale divoký závěr musel sledovat jen z lavičky.Nebylo to nic příjemného, když jsem viděl, jak Plzeň otočila vývoj. O to víc si cením, že se kluci nevzdali a bojovali až do konce. Obrovský dík patří Kučerovi, který to […]
