USC Women’s Basketball: NBA Hall Of Famers Love JuJu Watkins

JuJu Watkins has been putting NBA legends on notice.

There is no denying that USC Trojans star freshman JuJu Watkins is one of the most talked about players in sports. She continues to dominate and has been putting WNBA and NBA legends on notice. 

Two such legends are former Boston Celtics legends, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Both Pierce and Garnett began to rave about college women's basketball, stating that players like Watkins, Iowa's Caitlyn Clark, and LSU's Angel Reese have put everyone on notice. 

Kevin Garnett energy towards WBB is unmatched. Sorry for the language but that’s how he talks. Just watch. pic.twitter.com/0yGBRGaF3O

Pierce and Garnett also explained how college women's basketball is on fire, and that the men's division is not as exciting. 

We understand the excitement for Watkins. She secured a staggering 14 Freshman of the Week honors. She was also named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, All-Pac-12 Team, and All-Defensive Team honors. 

The Trojans won their first game in the quarterfinals last night against Arizona, and they are set to take on their divisional rivals tonight. USC vs UCLA will happen tonight, and Watkins can continue her dominant run. 

The hope is the Trojans make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, and they can start by ensuring they defeat their rivals tonight. 

Pierce and Garnett are right about one thing, USC Trojans basketball is electric.
