Brittney Griner, renowned ten-time All-Star, has rediscovered her passion for basketball following a surprising move to the Atlanta Dream. After a 12-year career with the Phoenix Mercury, where she became a WNBA scoring champion and a key player, Griner opted for a new chapter with the Dream, bringing excitement to fans and analysts.

Griner's signing with the Dream, amidst a bustling off-season for the WNBA, proved to be a major talking point. For the three-time Olympic champion, this transition was essential for reigniting her love for the sport.

The 6'9" center demonstrated her renewed confidence in the Dream's preseason victory over the Washington Mystics.

This change in her playing style signifies a promising start with Atlanta.
