Shootaround is a time for players to shake it off. Not like Taylor Swift of course, but shaking off the nerves before a big game against the Dallas Wings tonight on the road.
As you know by now, Ivory Latta is full of energy. And she knows a thing or two about making deep threes. Check out this shot she made from the stands during today's shootaround!
The three point shot was great, but Ivory's got a Latta swag! First, she called out Warriors point guard Stephen Curry in the text of her post. I don't know how Curry will respond to that, but it just so happens to have a big game of his own tonight against the team where I live...
Without getting into the NBA Finals debate -- and whether Golden State will sweep Cleveland -- there's more.
Latta also did the "Big Balls Dance" to celebrate! You know, the same dance that former Wizards assistant coach (and Mike Thibault protegé) Sam Cassell did during his playing days when he made a big play:
I think Ivory Latta pulled a trick out of Sam Cassell's hat. @ElleLovesTennis will have more on it soon. pic.twitter.com/YELMj5nEdO

Latta hitting big time threes, calling out the reigning two-time NBA MVP, AND paying homage to one of John Wall's favorite assistant coaches? That's a nice trifecta right there.
And let's see some of those long-distance quality buckets against the Wings tonight!
