Brittney Griner had been detained in Russia for the last 294 days for carrying 0.702 grams of cannabis for her personal use while traveling to Russia for her WNBA Off-season matches. However, after a long legal battle and several twists and turns in the case, Joe Biden finally announced on Thursday last week that after “intense and painstaking negotiations”, they were able to get the WNBA star out of the Russian prison.

Journalists and commentators were thus extremely interested in the recent release of US star WNBA player Brittney Griner from the federal prison in Russia following negotiations on an exchange for the renowned Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Hasan Piker, a Twitch broadcaster who was deeply engrossed in the action, was one such commenter.

Hasan Piker thinks that the Brittney Griner trade with Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout is a “good trade”

In his recent stream, Hasan Piker was really shocked to see that Brittney Griner was actually traded with a notorious Russian arms dealer, showing that the Putin-led country was probably planning on this execution from the very beginning. And even if not, it seems that the exchange was probably “good trade” for the country, as explained by Hasan Piker.

During his stream, he said, “Overall it’s a good trade. At least, Brittney is a part of being in the WNBA [and] has strong fundamentals. I’m no Scout. I haven’t been watching her entire career, but I know across the board she has the fundamentals. He does not.”

He further added, comparing Vicktor Bout with LeBron James by saying, “He is the LeBron James of arms dealing. He is not the LeBron James of ball-playing. They didn’t throw any draft picks in.” Notably, Hasan also said that the work camp where Griner was kept looked more like the famous Call of Duty revival zone “Gulag“.
