The WNBA is about to get a whole lot wilder with the 2025 rookie class entering the league. Paige Bueckers went No. 1 overall to the Dallas Wings, and right behind her at No. 2, the Seattle Storm snagged Dominique Malonga—a name WNBA players already know very well.
If you’re not familiar with the international sensation just yet, trust that WNBA stars definitely are. The 6’6″ forward/center out of France isn’t just tall—she’s terrifying. At just 19 years old, Malonga can dunk and not just the basic rim-grazing stuff. We’re talking power, finesse and that “put-you-on-a-poster” kind of flair.
WNBA players have already started reacting—with a mix of humor and genuine fear—about the possibility of being her first in-game victim. The jokes are flying, but so are the prayers.

Los Angeles Sparks’ Rickea Jackson made her stance crystal clear on X, posting: “Lord please don’t let me be the first WNBA player to get dunked on🙏🏾. Amen.” That wasn’t confidence. That was a plea.
