Since her debut on the network in 2018, Ogwumike has become a firm fan favorite. Apart from her media commitments, she plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA. In October of last year, she signed a new deal with ESPN, which includes calling NBA games.

With the conclusion of the WNBA season, Chiney is now back in the studio, turning heads with her stunning on-air look. She shared snapshots of her outfit after the WNBA Finals, captioning the post with “Working overtime.” Fans quickly flooded the comment section, with the post receiving over 7,000 likes in less than 15 hours. Their admiration was evident, with one fan exclaiming, “Beauty, smarts, and talent,” while another marveled at her “perfect look, perfect outfit, perfect smile.” The attention and praise continued with more fans expressing their awe with comments like “Jaw-dropping” and “You deserve more airtime.”

In 2014, Chiney Ogwumike was selected as the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft and joined the Connecticut Sun. Since then, she has become a two-time WNBA All-Star, averaging 15.5 points per game and 7.5 rebounds in her rookie season. Apart from her basketball career, she also balances a broadcasting career and has received support from ESPN stalwart Stephen A. Smith. Chiney expressed her motivation for entering the broadcasting realm, stating, “I felt my voice was needed in the sense where we, especially this rising generation, are trying to make our mark. If I’m able to join the conversation as it pertains to the NBA – and make people think ‘oh, she might not be expected in this space, but she’s valued in this space’ – that’s a big motivator. I’ve completely felt that from basketball fans.”
