A true WNBA phenomenon, Cameron Brink has already had the opportunity to rub shoulders with several NBA stars, including Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers forward left a strong impression on her during their meeting, which she eventually revealed.

While less well-known and followed than the prodigy Caitlin Clark, she nonetheless embodies the future of the WNBA. The second pick in the 2024 Draft, Cameron Brink seems destined for a brilliant career in the women’s league. A destiny that seemed already clear when she was ruling the roost in the NCAA rackets with Stanford University. This has put her in the spotlight very early on.

Cameron Brink Honest About Kawhi Leonard’s Attitude Behind the Scenes

Brink, who possesses a rare talent, also has the distinction of being part of Stephen Curry’s inner circle. As the goddaughter of the Chief’s mother, she has always been able to benefit from his support, including during a strange FaceTime after his draft . However, she is not the only NBA star she knows well, as she has already met a certain… Kawhi Leonard:

Sponsored by New Balance since August 2023, the center has since shown a common point with Leonard . The two quickly saw their paths cross during a shoot for the brand, which the young woman is not likely to forget anytime soon. As part of an appearance on Paul George’s Podcast P , she returned to this experience by revealing Kawhi’s true nature:

Cameron Brink: The funniest thing about this shoot was Kawhi. He’s f***ing funny! Seriously, he’s funny. In fact, the guys at New Balance were like, “We’ve never seen anyone make him laugh harder than you.” So Kawhi, if you’re watching this, I’m waiting to get my flowers!

While she can’t remember the words that prompted The Klaw to create his robotic laugh, the Sparks star remembers those that amused her:

Paul George: People don’t realize that Kawhi is one of the funniest human beings.

Cameron Brink: Definitely! He has a dry sense of humor. He kept saying, “When does this end?” “When are we going home?” “Is this it?” (Laughs)

Like many of Kawhi Leonard’s teammates, Cameron Brink describes the Clippers star as one of the funniest people she’s ever met. Yet another testament to the famed nickname “Fun Guy.”
