Over the past few seasons, UCLA Bruin fans got to witness Lauren Betts operate in the post. While Betts is best known for her defense or her dominating frame, which left many college opponents feeling defensive, Betts was also a gifted passer.
With Betts' passing ability it shouldn't be too surprising to hear that her favorite player is Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. Jokic is an NBA champion and is a three-time league MVP.
During the WNBA All-Star Weekend, Betts revealed that she was hoping for a surprise from the Nuggets superstar center.
"This is just me manifesting; if Jokic walked in right now, he would give me a big bear hug," Betts said. "He's like the GOAT and I'm from Colorado so I'm a huge Nuggets fan."
Beyond just Jokic's otherworldly ability on the basketball court, Betts is also impressed by his ability to not make the sport his entire life. Jokic is known to enjoy himself a horse race, owning several horses back in Serbia.
