“You know that car, it’s that ugly little green thi..,” she went off about feeling a little disrespected, but before it could have gotten any more embarrassing, older sis came to the rescue. “Kia Nurse is a basketball player,” interjected Lauren Betts, drawing Sienna’s attention to the Chicago Sky basketball player, which led to a lot of guffaws and giggles.

It was quite fresh seeing these two sisters having a laugh and letting their hair down for once cause when they are on court, they only mean business. Lauren Betts has had a phenomenal season for the UCLA Bruins, averaging 15.2 points, 3.1 assists, and a 58.7 FG%.

The nurse has been part of some of the big teams in the WNBA during her basketball career, including the New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury, and Seattle Storm, among others. As such, her name should not come across as unfamiliar to a fellow basketball player, which created a brain-freeze moment for Sienna.

“Mini is also a weird term considering she’s about 5 inches taller than Kia Nurse,” was another smart reply, who was quick to point out that there is no possibility of Sienna being a mini Kia Nurse, as she is way taller than the Canadian basketball player. While Nurse stands at 6’0″ feet, Sienna is 6’4″ inches tall. The comparison simply doesn’t add up.

“Thank God for older siblings 😂🤣,” commented another on how Lauren Betts had saved her sister from further mortification. Everybody knows how close the Betts sisters are and that was evident when Sienna made her long-awaited debut for the UCLA Bruins against Cal Poly.

“I was just so happy to be on the court with her. She’s just done a lot of work, and I know that this process hasn’t been easy, but to just have that moment with her, I mean, like, this is something that we’ve kind of grown up just dreaming about,” came the proud voice of a proud elder sister as the younger sibling spent 10 minutes on court scoring 5 points.

The match also ended on a good note as the Bruins overwhelmed Cal Poly 115-28. So the journey together has started on a sweet note for the Betts siblings; now we simply await destiny to see where the roads take these sisters on their respective journeys in the WNBA world.
