- When Napheesa was a little girl, the only basketball team in Jefferson City wouldn’t let her try out because they said they were full. So her parents started a new team, The Lady Warriors, proving that when one court closes, you make your own court!
- Super Mom! Napheesa welcomed her daughter Mila in 2022 and was back on the court just 74 days after giving birth!!!
- Napheesa’s family has a legacy of making history! Her grandfather helped negotiate Sierra Leone’s independence from Britain and served as the country’s ambassador to the UN and U.S.
- Princess Phee. Her name, Napheesa, means “Princess” or “precious one” in Sierra Leonean culture. With a name like that, it’s no wonder she’s ruling the court!
- Napheesa and Breanna Stewart teamed up off the court to co-found “Unrivaled,” a new 3-on-3 league aimed at growing women’s basketball and creating more opportunities for players. The goal? Take women’s hoops to the next level!
