More than ever, women’s basketball, and especially the WNBA, are at the heart of attention this season.

But this obviously also leads to an increase in controversy…

Former player Stephen Brun recently banged his fist on the table, following an action that completely made him lose his temper.

The least we can say is that women’s basketball has been particularly in the spotlight in the United States in 2024.

Helped by the joint arrivals of phenomena like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese via the draft, the discipline has experienced a colossal boost in notoriety.

The majority of WNBA games are now sold out and the show takes place every night in front of thousands of fans.

Besides that, the players are also increasingly making headlines… but it’s not always for the right reasons, Reese is particularly controversial in the race for the ROY .

Opposed to the Las Vegas Aces of superstar A’ja Wilson recently, her duel with the veteran caught the attention of Stephen Brun.

And the former player clearly didn’t like what he saw on the courts:

For once, it is not the Sky rookie who is being pilloried, but Wilson and the Aces. Brun notes here the rather obvious march of the double WNBA champion.

As we know, this foul is much less whistled in the United States than in Europe, whether among men or women, but the former French international seems to think that this goes much too far… and he is not the only one, to tell the truth.


This is nothing new, walkers are less booed in the US than in Europe. Especially since the one signed A’ja Wilson is considered a “gather step”, an American specialty… We understand Stephen Brun’s irritation, but it’s not about to stop.
