WNBA 2k21 LA Sparks: Championship C

Re: WNBA 2k21 LA Sparks: Championship C

Who is Championship C?

Chiney Ogwumike, a 6'4" Nigerian-American basketball player burst into the national spotlight from an early age. The concensus #1 prospect from all top college recruiting sites, Chiney helped lead her high school team to the state championship in her senior year, their 2nd title in 3 years. Her "video game like" stats that she put up throughout the year earned her the 2010 National Highschool player of the Year award. It's safe to say that she was a high school phenom, and one of the most anticipated young talents on the rise

With offers from many top college basketball programs, Chiney opted to committ to Stanford to play along side her older sister, Nneka Ogwumike.
Chiney's dominance would continue at the college level under legendary Stanford coach, Tara VanDerveer, as she graduated as the all time leading scorer in school and conference history. There was no doubt who the #1 pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft was going to be

The Connecticut Sun drafted Chiney #1 overall in the 2014 Draft, and Chiney did not dissapoint. She worked her way into the starting lineup, avaeraging 15.5 ppg and 7.5 rpg. She was also named an allstar as a rookie, which was historic since it marked the first time that 2 sisters were both allstars in the same season, her and her older sister Nneka. Winning rookie of the year was the cherry on top of an outstanding rookie season for Chiney

Despite an impressive rookie season, Chiney was forced to sit out all of the 2015 season while recovering from a micro-fracture knee injury. The Sun fans wished their young star a speedy recovery, and hoped she'd come back stronger than ever for 2016.

Connecticut faithful got their wish as Chiney returned in 2016 without missing a beat. She averaged 12.6ppg on nearly 60% shooting. It was also during this season that Chiney began showing flashes of greatness with career highs in points (26) rebounds (15) and even had 7 blocked shots in a game!

Sadly, the injury bug wouldn't leave Chiney alone, as she tore her achilles playing overseas during that offseason. This meant she would miss the entire 2017 wnba season too, her second full season that she'd already missed in her career so far.

Determined not to let the injuries derail her promising career, Chiney bounced back yet again with another strong season in 2018. She increased her scoring average to 14.4ppg and did so efficiently, shooting over 60% from the field. She also racked up a new career high of 30 points. Chiney also was voted back to the allstar team for the 2nd time in her career. Her strong display of resilience helped the Connecticut Sun earn the #4 seed in the playoffs. Despite losing to the Mercury in the 2nd round, the Sun fans believed that if Chiney could just stay healthy, they'd be contending for years to come

However... that wasn't in the cards for the Sun franchise. During that offseason, Chiney requested a trade. She asked to be traded to LA specifically. The Sun front office felt that they had no choice so they honored her request, and traded her to the LA Sparks in exchange for a future 1st round draft pick

This trade re-united Chiney with none other than her big sister, Nneka

Now on a loaded roster, with her big sister starting over her alongside super star, Candace Parker, Chiney saw her role diminished during the 2019 season as she played backup minutes off the bench. Her stats took a hit as well as to be expected with less playing time as she failed to average double digit points for the first time in her pro career. Despite the dip in individual success, Chiney gave LA quality depth in the post which helped them earn the #3 seed in the 2019 playoffs

The Connecticut Sun fans had felt wronged by how Chiney demanded a trade out of there, so they booed her relentlessly when the Sparks traveled to Connecticut. As fate should have it, the Sun also got the chance to eliminate Chiney's Sparks in the playoffs too in a clean sweep... Sun fans had to be feeling like they got their sweet revenge on Chiney

The pandemic rocked the sports world in 2020. The WNBA had to scramble to come up with a safe way to play their season. They ended up deciding to play a shortened season in a bubble to protect their players and staff to the best of their abilities. This setup led to multiple players opting out due to health reasons. Chiney was one of the players who opted out of the 2020 season. With her multiple serious leg injuries, Chiney didn't feel that she'd have sufficient time to work herself up to speed to where she felt confident that she wouldn't be at a high risk of re-injury. So Chiney missed the entire 2020 season, her 3rd full missed season of her career.

Without Chiney, the Sparks suffered yet another dissapointing playoff loss in 2020 at the hands of Chiney's old team, Connecticut. The playoff let downs finally led to multiple players deciding to go elsewhere, including Sparks superstar, Candace Parker. Parker decided to return home and signed with the Chciago Sky. Starting point guard Chelsea Gray also left to sign in Las Vegas. Riquna Williams who was LA's "spark" off the bench as 6th woman also joined Gray in signing with Vegas. On top of all of these departures, Chiney's big sister Nneka was also a free agent, who every team wanted, so rumors continued to swirl about her future too. LA looked to have more questions than answers heading into 2021.

Luckily for LA, Nneka wanted to stay. She inked a long term deal to commit to becoming the new face of the franchise now that Candace Parker was gone. The Sparks also were able to snag starting point guard Erica Wheeler from the Indiana Fever to step right into Gray's spot. They added an explosive 6th woman, in Brittney Sykes to replace Williams as well, and slowly but sureley, the roster was starting to come together

Despite LA's signings in free agency, and adding some solid picks in the draft, many still questioned if they could even make the playoffs without Candace Parker.

Chiney got tired of hearing those doubters and made a bold statement, declaring herself "Championship C" She added that she has been great on every level and greatness at the pro level for herself and her team was inevitable. There was "no stopping this movement" and "not only will they make the playoffs without Candace, we are going to win it all without her!" She claimed nothing would hold her back because she's missed too much time already throughout her career so "the time is now to win it all!" (All of this Championship C rant is fictional, just for fun but the rest of her career story here has been accurate)

This is where this story begins... the start of the 2021 WNBA season. Chiney has returned to the team and is more focused than ever to rise to stardom. Follow along on this journey to see how Chiney's thirst for greatness pans out in 2021!

That’s awesome, Seattle is a favorite to repeat as champions this season, they blasted the Aces in the finals last year! Sue bird never seems to lose her edge despite her age and Stewie and Lloyd are rising super stars, the Storm are going to be contenders for years to come

I’m a Fever fan myself so I’ve been through a lot of rough years since 2016, but it seems like we might slowly be starting to become competitive, maybe next season lol

The Sparks have become my “side piece team” since I had to cheer for somebody in the playoffs since Indiana never made it and I always chose them, I now follow them just as closely as the Fever, and getting to know the stories of all of their players like the ogwumike sisters has been a blast and provided the inspiration for this dynasty
