The Seattle Storm are set to clash with the LA Sparks in their preseason opener. However, one of the things to watch out for the opponents is the $400,000 worth deadly combo of Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith. Both these free-agent acquisitions can be seen playing side by side and have the potential to wreak havoc against any franchise.

This is what Skylar Diggins-Smith reflected in her latest media day shoot alongside her best friend. 

The duo recently had a very lovely outing together after a tiring training camp. The bond between them was clearly visible by the way they were feeling comfortable around each other. In addition to this, when asked by Ogwumike if she’d been smiling during the shoot, the 33-year-old responded, “I did smile. I can’t help but smile. I can’t believe it.” 

Anyhow, Skylar Diggins-Smith quickly followed it up with a word of caution for rookies like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. While interacting with Nneka Ogwumike, she further added, “It’s like when you get your classes, and your best friend be in your class like ‘Oh My God.’ I can’t believe it. Bout to f*** ’em up. F*** ’em up.”

Diggins-Smith couldn’t hide her elation to be a part of the Seattle Storm locker room. She reflected on her jubilation a few days back as well by saying, “It was like the first day of school where you have a lot of anticipation for it to come. It’s kind of surreal getting reacquainted with the familiar faces in Jewell and Nneka and just seeing us all share the same jersey.”

Following this, they received a lot of positive reactions from their fans.

Fans can’t wait to see Ogwumike and Diggins-Smith duo play together

Fans flooded the post with tons of comments displaying their eagerness to watch them both in action soon. One of them agreed with Skylar Diggins-Smith and expressed that it’s hard to believe them both on the same side. Moreover, there was also a sense of thrill in her words expressing the excitement to catch them in action. She commented, “I can’t believe this sh*t either!! So thrilled to watch y’all this season!”

Further, one Seattle Storm outrightly stated that this is the duo that the team needs to succeed. The fan wrote, “The duo we always knew we needed 🫶🏽.”

Meanwhile, some were even terming them both beasts. One comment read. “Woah the beasts have arrived. 🙌🔥.”

Additionally, one fan was all praises on how the Seattle Storm management wisely spends their money and invests in the best players. The fan went on and expressed, “Seattle Storm, only Seattle franchise that actually goes out and gets the great players in the off-season and spends money!! Seattle fans aren’t used to this and can’t believe it either!”

An Indiana fan was also in the comment section reflecting her worries about the strength of the team. She added, “Seattle going to be a problem. coming from a Indiana fan.” 

The reformed Seattle Storm team has what it takes to cause nightmares to their opponents. As they take on Cameron Brink and the LA Sparks, the contest seems to be evenly matched. Surely, the result will set the tone for them in their future fixtures.
